Spend two days with us before you start your pedicab business
Visit our San Diego factory, ride every model, and go out with the pedicab fleet we run downtown. We show you how we build, permit, staff and market a pedicab operation, and you ask every question you have. You leave knowing whether this business is right for you and exactly what your fleet should look like.
Why come to San Diego
Buying a fleet is a big decision. Brochures and calls only go so far. Here you see the whole operation for yourself: the cabs being built, the drivers at work, and the systems that keep a city-permitted fleet running.
See how they are built
Walk the factory floor and see the frames, motors, batteries and assembly behind every Xion pedicab.
Watch a real fleet work
Ride along with our own San Diego fleet on a busy downtown night and see dispatch, drivers and riders up close.
Get straight answers
Permits, insurance, drivers, sponsors, maintenance: ask the people who handle it every day.
What the two days cover
The vehicle and the street
- Factory tour. How Xion pedicabs are engineered and assembled in San Diego.
- Inside a pedicab. A hands-on walk through every major part, plus the basic maintenance and repairs an owner can do.
- Test rides. Drive the 3-seat, 6-seat and cargo models.
- Permits and insurance. Business structures, licensing, insurance and working with your city.
- Evening ride-along. Shadow our downtown fleet in action.
Running the business
- Revenue streams. Passenger fares, advertising wraps through VIP Outdoor Media, event contracts and venue partnerships.
- Drivers. Recruiting, training and managing drivers, plus safety rules.
- Dispatch and marketing. How we use Chariot dispatch and win hotels, venues and events.
- Your city. A working session on your market: permit rules, zones and seasons.
- Your fleet plan. One-on-one time on models, fleet size, pricing and financing options.
The schedule adapts to each group. Private visits for fleet buyers can focus on whatever matters most to you.
