Becak - Trycycle From Surabaya


Becak is from Hokkien language (be chia "kereta kuda" which mean "Horse moved Vehicle") . It's very convenient kind of transportation which don't use the gas. You can be free from the oil uprise price, but you can't run as fast as you ride a car. It's powered by 1MP (Man Power) at all :) There are several kind of Becak:

  • Becak with the driver in the rear side, usually in Java
  • Becak with the driver in the left/right side, usually in Sumatra
Classified by their power source, there is two kind of becak,
  • Man powered becak
  • Motor powered becak
Usually, if the distance was far away, motor powered becak can be cheap per it's kilometer :D
