We're a new company, and we got our start by taking on an older fleet of pedicabs. Thirty of them, and giving them a second life here in Austin.

The fleet is how we began, but it's not the whole story. Alongside everyday rides, we offer tours, charters, and company events, and we partner with local businesses on branded marketing activations at festivals across the city. However people need to move, or a business wants their brand to be seen and get noticed, we try to be there for it.

Right now, those bikes we started with need real work, repairs, and upgrades to bring them up to the standard our services require and keep them safely on the road. We're looking for individuals who would like to support this business and watch it grow with Austin's fast-growing city.

If you're able to give, thank you, truly. And if you can't, sharing this with someone who might means just as much to us.




What We Care About:

WooRides was never just about pedicabs. It's about people having a stage to self-express themselves. We put Austin drivers to work and give them a flexible way to earn a living in a city they love. Every ride is also a car that didn't have to circle downtown looking for parking and wasting gas, adding to air pollution; we take 1/3 of what a car space takes on the road and are 100% eco-friendly, powered. We're proud to offer a genuinely eco-friendly way to get around and a real answer to city congestion.

We built our booking app because too many people were left standing on a corner, unsure how to flag a pedicab down or what a ride would even cost. We wanted getting around downtown to feel simple, transparent, and welcoming. Not like a guessing game: unsure if the driver is permitted or has a background check, whether the cab is permitted and has insurance, or whether the driver overcharges the customer; every cab is currently at a different rate.

Beyond everyday rides, we're proud to offer tours, charters, and company events, and to partner with local businesses on marketing activations that bring color and energy to Austin's biggest events.

More than anything, we care about connection. Bringing people, drivers, and local businesses together, and being part of the fabric of Austin's downtown community, the same way it's shown up for us. This campaign isn't just about keeping cabs on the road; it's about keeping that community intact.

Thank you for considering supporting WooRides.
