I`m from Durban,South Africa. A rickshaw sort of works like a bicycle..Someone stands at the front of it and uses their strength to pull it. Yes the wheels have to be oiled once in while to ensure smooth sailing but no it is not powered by oil.

Johnathan Gobles invented the Rickshaw, which is a 2-wheeled human powered vehicle. It originated in Japan and was the mode of transportation for the socially elite. Today the Rickshaw isn't commonly used due to the welfare of the Rickshaw workers.
The old Rickshaw meters were very simple mechanical devices. They were in essence a mileage indicator that calculate a cost per mile. The same mechanical linkage that powers speedometer powered the meter. So factor in a cost per mile, a basic on off switch (flagfall) and you have your auto rickshaw meter.
