You can easily hire a trishaw that is mostly located at the beginning of Armenian Street in Penang near the bicycle shop. A little fun fact about Penang’s 3 wheel pedicab is that it is different and probably the only one in Malaysia where the passengers get a full front view. Due to the position of where the passengers are sat which is in front, that is how they are able to get the perfect 360° view. Moreover, this is also one of Penang’s pride and iconic symbol. So, if you’ve not been on one then you should definitely try it out.
Tired of walking? Well, you can also rent a bicycle to ride around the George Town area. Moreover, there is a wide variety of bicycles that you can choose from and that includes an electrical bicycle. However, remember to be careful as you’re riding along the main road!
