| Jun 10, 2014 at 14:34 | comment | added | Jon Snow | Thank you for your comments. I personally prefer "flatbed tricycle" or "freight tricycle". This vehicle is primarily designed to transport goods, not people (though people can ride on it). | |

| Jun 10, 2014 at 2:00 | comment | added | neubau | Here's a website in Taiwan that calls a similar contraption (with the cargo space in front) a "carrier bike". It's described in Chinese as a bicycle with a large box. Link: e-info.org.tw/node/14434 | |
| Jun 9, 2014 at 22:58 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | Is there even a Chinese name for these? I've always just called them 三轮车, but that's just any tricycle, not just the flatbed ones that you see everywhere in Chinese. | |
| Jun 9, 2014 at 22:35 | comment | added | John Lawler | I'd call it a cargo bike if I had to describe it to somebody who hadn't seen it. It's three-wheel, but that's less important than its function. If my addressee could see it, I'd call it a tricycle truck; but without some visual information that's not a good description. | |
| Jun 9, 2014 at 22:18 | comment | added | Rupe | I found "freight bicycle" on wikipedia. | |
| Jun 9, 2014 at 22:06 | comment | added | Rupe | I'm not aware of a name, I've seen one only once in the UK and I think the guy made that himself. I'd call it an extended platform tricycle. | |
