Ecological taxis with pedals in Malaga city

The capital of the Costa de Sol is the pioneer in the use of tricycles as shuttle service for tourists.

A variant of bicycle tourism are the bicycle taxis, reminding of the Indian rickshaws. These are tricycles manufactured in Germany and which are completely ecological. They are made of recyclable materials and operate with the force of the driver, but also have an electric motor that helps in specific moments. They do not pollute the environment all.

Its function is the transportation of people through the centre of the city, not just tourists but also citizens in general.

The tricycle taxis are located in different parts of downtown and connect the highlights of the city such as Plaza de la Marina, shopping malls, the train station Maria Zambrano or the Port.

The service operates from 10 am to 8 pm, but can be used outside these hours if booked in advance. Their drivers not only steer the vehicle, but also become cultural guides and are in some cases the primary source of information about the city for tourists who have just arrived.

These monitors explain to visitors in several languages the history of the buildings and streets along their ride around the city. If you want to go in town from one point to another, or tour it and enjoy the view, you now have the option of doing it in a clean and green way. This project aims to change attitudes towards the environment, giving locals and visitors to Malaga the chance to do something beneficial and thereby contribute to making the city a cleaner and safer place.

With the Tricycles you will get to know Malaga in a different and funny way: at the outdoors and at a leisurely pace down the centre of the city and the promenade. The Driver will be giving explanations about life, culture and history of Malaga.
