A Well-Maintained Trishaw
We thank our donor for this trishaw, which came with a cone-shaped hat and woven basket.
The ‘Golden Age’ of the trishaw in Ipoh was from the end of the war in 1945 until Merdeka (Independence) in 1957. This was the heyday for Ipoh’s trishaw drivers, manufacturers and renters and during that period there were probably about 1000 trishaws in the town with 700 on the streets at one time and more than 10 trishaw repair shops in Old Town alone. The trishaw was known as ‘King of the Road’.
