Since the 1950s, when the pulled rickshaw was phased out, mid-city and large city passengers may travel using three-wheeled pedicabs, or cycle rickshaws. The [[Chinese language|Chinese]] term for the conveyance is ''sanlunche'' (三轮车). The vehicles may be pedal- or motor-powered. In [[Shanghai]], most of the vehicles are powered by electricity.<ref name="Tiki China">{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2WM23qDdOGQC&pg=PT61 | title=China Travel Guide - Tiki Travel | publisher=FB Editions | pages=PT61 | isbn=9791021306523}}</ref>

Tourists are warned to beware of over-charging vendors, especially who wear an "old fashioned costume" or are located near tourist locations.<ref name="Tiki China" />

Whilst many local tourism authorities still issue licences for rickshaw drivers to carry passengers, authorities in China are tightening rules in order to alleviate cheating of tourists and to reduce traffic congestion (e.g. a typical Chinese cycle-rickshaw will travel at less than 10 {{Sfrac|km|h}} and is wide enough to fill an entire motor or bicycle lane and therefore are blamed as a major cause of traffic congestion), and have been banned in many cities already.<ref>{{cite web |title=广州这些区域禁止人力三轮车上道路行驶，6月11日起施行 |url=https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1766212670263278435&wfr=spider&for=pc |website=Baidu |publisher=光明网 |access-date=13 May 2024}}</ref>
