Cyclo (or "xich-lo" in Vietnamese) is a kind of human-powered tricycle invented by a French named Coupeaud in 1939 for sport purposes. However, they only became popular when introduced to Phnompenh and then Saigon in 1939-1940 as a small-scaled local means of transport. In Vietnam and Cambodia, the driver's seat is situated behind the passenger, not in front or beside like in other countries.
