THE PPR* EXPERIENCE
Discover a new means of transportation developed by Sylvia Winkler, Stephan Köperl and artists from India

With their PPR, the passenger propelled rickshaw, Sylvia Winkler and Stephan Köperl encourage people from all walks of life to use this healthy and eco-friendly means of transport. In this vehicle the hierarchy of passenger/puller is transformed into a collaborative unit in which physical power and logistical knowledge are shared to bring things forward. Please take a breathtaking ride on our PPR to fuel the dream of a post-oil society!
