FAQ

1. What is pedicab advertising?

Pedicab advertising places branded panels or wraps on bicycle-powered taxis (pedicabs) that operate in busy pedestrian areas, giving your message moving visibility at street level.

2. Where do pedicab ads typically run?

Pedicabs typically operate in downtown cores, entertainment districts, nightlife zones, beaches, tourist areas, parks, and near stadiums, arenas, and major event venues.

3. What makes pedicab advertising different from other OOH?

Pedicabs move slowly through dense pedestrian areas, creating close-range, eye-level exposure and strong visibility near nightlife and events.

4. Who will see pedicab ads?

Primarily pedestrians, event attendees, tourists, and local residents in high-foot-traffic areas, plus people riding in the pedicabs.

5. What are pedicab ads best used for?

They’re ideal for event promotion, nightlife and entertainment marketing, local brand awareness, product launches, and reaching people near stadiums, festivals, and tourist attractions.

6. Can pedicab campaigns be scheduled for specific events or time windows?

Yes—many programs can align with event calendars and peak times (pre/post game, weekends, late night), depending on local operating areas and vendor availability.

7. How is pedicab advertising priced?

Pricing depends on market, number of pedicabs, campaign length, and whether units are dedicated to a route/event window. Many programs price by pedicab per period or by event/day schedules.

Bold, high-contrast designs with minimal text work best. Use strong branding and a short call-to-action (QR code, short URL, or hashtag) that’s readable at street level.
