Revolution Rickshaws LLC pedals good stuff. Whether moving people, products, or promotions, our eco-logical transport programs have strengthened our partners in enterprise—plus our community—since 2005.
. . . . . 
RR makes resilient for our customers their city transport & delivery programs. In distibution or delivery in particular, the "last mile" link in the supply chain often is "overlooked" by enterprises, even those keen to be eco-vital. We add a bit of eco-logic to these channels—and most everyone seems to benefit.
Our programs are administered on the most potent pedal-powered platform available in the world today. Our commitments to reseilence, renewability, and return on investment set us apart from similar service providers and power our eco-vital partnerships.
RR rents and services Cycles Maximus work trikes as the British manufacturer's U.S. agent and parts distributor. They are a key partner of ours in supporting the crafting and transition of more resilient, renewable, sustainable communities, businesses, families, and individuals worldwide.

Revolution Rickshaws in the Media
The New Yorker, The New York Times, Time Out New York, Metro New York, The New York Post, The Daily News—all of the city's major news publications have taken notice of Revolution's innovative mission and inventive methods.
The New Yorker back in 2006 really nailed us: Revolution Rickshaws is out to, "in effect, create an entire pedal-based economy, offering 'eco-responsible execution in people-moving services,' 'rapid urban cargo transport,' and 'outdoor marketing promotions,' through the use of pedicabs, tricycle rigs capable of carrying [five hundred] pounds of freight, and towable billboards."

About the Founder
Gregg Zukowski established Revolution Rickshaws LLC in 2005 to empower locals like him to establish and engage profitable pedicab practices—like the one that has enabled him to regain fine physical fitiness, solid financial footing, innumerable deleriously satisfied customers, and peace of mind available to folks providing services that only enhance one's community, ecology, AND economy. Soon, he was pedaling people-powered shuttle and promotional services to New York City enterprises keen to establish resilient, renewing, and rewarding practices. Inspired by our brothers and sisters across much of Asia, he also expanded RR's suite of services to include people-powered cargo-moving solutions, and the rest is becoming history.
He first established his pedicab practice with Pedicabs of New York in 2003; soon afterward, Gregg began researching work-trike manufacturers worldwide before settling on equipment manufactured by Cycles Maximus, Ltd., based in Bath, England. He became the first person to import their equipment; subsequently, he was invited to perform duties as U.S. agent for the U.K.-based manufacturer.
Prior to running RR, Gregg served as state committee member of the Green Party of New York State as well as secretary of the Kings County Green Party Organization. He also operated Bacchus Editorial, providing editorial services to many NY-based companies including Deal Flow Media, Horsesmouth, JPMorganChase, Primedia, AdWeek, Energy Intelligence Group, Morgan Stanley, Romantic Times Magazine, Zarnegin Rugs, and other enterprises. Too, he worked periodically as a bike messenger in NYC during the 1990s.
He graduated from Occidental College in 1996 with a B.A. in politics, producing during that time an extensive study of inter-urban transit systems in NYC and Los Angeles. He found that not only "Big Oil" and G.M. were responsible for the demise of the City of Angels' system - the largest in the world in the 1920s; in fact, millions of midwesterners (and others) who bought into a notion of "the American Dream" pitched by real estate agents practically demanded it. They demanded a petroleum-fueled dream - and now we're left with a steadily deadening reality of industrialism-at-all-costs. Gregg believes RR is part of the antidote.
