The rickshaw design is fairly simple, which is
entirely appropriate, but it works. I think it would make more sense,
though, for the puller to be in front of the horse-mount and holding the ends
of the handles instead of being on the inside. The farther forward you hold
the handles, the greater the leverage you can exert on the rickshaw to keep
it steady, and the less exhausting it will be for the person pulling it.

That might make it steadier, but the traditional rickshaw design is for a bar in
front of the driver (is that what you call him)... it’s much easier to push
against the bar that it would be to pull on a handle mounted along the direction
of travel.
