I cannot see advertising being able to pay for the upkeep of the bike and being able to pay a wage, mind you he could put up a sign saying everyone must tip, min tip £2.00 for each person
There is no law against it :?:


A tip is a reward :wink:

The question is.... does he actually need to be licensed with it being free.

Yes.

But as he is gaining via advertising revenue, defo yes. :wink:

But the free bit is a red herring. Derby have issued him with a license which they have no powers to do. If they want him licensed it can only be under the 1847 act.

In other words hackney yes, PH no. :shock:
It is not a free service if the Driver of the rickshaw is being paid, which he is! Therefore it is Hire & Reward and must come under the licensing local council. Regardless of pedal power or motorised. They are dreaming if they think that advertising will pay enough to cover the expenses.
Think you will find that the owner will be collecting tip revenue to subsidize the running costs. He is then definately taking monies.
