Pedicabs – or carriages pulled by bikes — offer a unique and eco-friendly way to tour San Diego, but they’re starting to go electric, meaning they’re faster and potentially more dangerous.

Horuz says he has transformed 30 of his 100 pedicabs from manual to electric.

Meanwhile, advocates for pedestrian safety say the move to electric has made the area significantly much more dangerous “I became concerned probably a couple of weeks ago because I suddenly saw pedicabs being driven at what seemed like an incredibly fast speed,” Freeman said. Horuz said he requires all his drivers to go no more than 12 miles per hour and so far he’s had no issues or complaints about his operators“There are three things the city needs: it needs regulations, it needs monitoring to make sure the regulations are being applied and it needs enforcement,” he said.
