South Africa's Revolutionary Mellowcabs

There is cool technology, and then there’s remarkable tech! Hailing all the way from South Africa, Mellowcabs most definitely fits into the latter category.  That's because the company combined sustainable and eco-friendly engineering with simply ingenious mobile marketing.The electronically assisted, non-motorized and emission free personal transport vehicles are also geo-location based marketing services on the go. The pedicabs, as they are currently referred to, are free to use since all of the revenue is generated via the advertisements streamed on the onboard tablet computers. Based on the location of the pedicab, ads show up accordingly.http://youtu.be/KrCJTlh1PZIThey  evolved from cycle-rickshaws, which were extremely popular modes of transport before the automobile came around, and are now truly high-tech.Mellowcab intends to offer a dual service: provide passengers with “competent drivers and safe vehicles." Each pedicab is designed for a single driver and two passengers, and is specifically made to seamlessly blend into South Africa’s urban traffic conditions. All Mellowcabs have “real-time GPS tracking and monitoring of the vehicles” as well as overall vehicle and driver inspections to ensure security and optimum service.Many have already embraced the fun, but most importantly reliable ride. Hopefully, it will be making a global debut in the next few years.Info and Image Source: mellowcabs.com
