Rickshaws of Charleston

Operating as Charleston Rickshaw, 'The Holy City's Original Rickshaw Co.,' this Charleston, South Carolina company was established in 1989 and provides pedicab (bicycle-taxi) rides and mobile out-of-home advertising throughout downtown Charleston. The business markets its pedicabs as 'rolling billboards' that circulate continuously through the King Street Shopping District, the Charleston City Market, and surrounding tourist destinations, reaching a mix of visitors, college students, and local residents in the city's densest pedestrian and commercial areas.

Its advertising program offers several branded placement formats: a Front Gate panel (16" x 46"), a Back Sign (33" x 37"), and a Full Wrap that combines the front gate, back sign, and wheel graphics, with additional exposure available on cyclist t-shirts and calling cards. The company describes the offering as 'downtown Charleston's premiere outdoor advertising opportunity,' emphasizing dynamic, high-visibility brand exposure that moves with foot-traffic patterns rather than remaining fixed.

Past advertisers cited include Bud Light, Crown Royal, and Patriots Point, reflecting appeal across beverage and tourism/attraction sectors. As a locally focused mobile media operator, Charleston Rickshaw combines transit-style moving advertising with an experiential, street-level presence, giving brands a way to target tourists and residents in a compact, high-traffic historic market where traditional fixed billboard inventory is limited.
