"Remain faithful to the Earth."
When Friedrich Nietzsche inked these words over one hundred years ago in his epic philosophic novel, Thus Spake Zarathustra, he was calling on humanity to reverse its increasing alienation from nature. In the century since, human enterprise has only grown more careless of its responsibility to steward our ecology. Exhortations such as Nietzsche's inspire Revolution Rickshaws to execute professional-grade services and solutions while ensuring the spread of eco-positive business practices far and wide.
Gregg Zukowski established Revolution Rickshaws, LLC, in 2005 to provide New York and her residents and visitors with sensible local transport, logistics, and promotions solutions that optimize both eco- and business performance. While renting a pedicab from Pedicabs of New York in 2003 and 2004, Gregg researched trike manufacturers worldwide before settling on Cycles Maximus, Ltd. He became the first person to import their products; subsequently, he was invited to act as U.S. agent for the U.K.-based manufacturer.

Revolution 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, for one, reports that Revolution 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." Not a bad approximation!
