Kelowna, a city in Canada, continues to attract visitors with its blend of natural beauty and outdoor activities. Known for its vineyards, pine forests, and the expansive Okanagan Lake, the city offers a range of recreational options-from hiking at Knox Mountain Park to cycling along the historic Myra Canyon trestles. Among the more unconventional experiences available in the region is a hand-pulled rickshaw service operated by local resident Daniel Power. According to his social media presence, Power began constructing and operating these rickshaws in 2013. His rides, which often include spontaneous stunts and performances, have become a distinctive feature of Kelowna's tourism landscape.

In one Instagram video, Daniel Power, wearing only a pair of fitted shorts, was seen pulling the shafts of the rickshaw as the female passengers squealed in excitement. At first, he started slow before picking up speed and running on the streets of Kelowna at night. In one moment, when the rickshaw was in motion, Daniel lifted his body in the air by supporting his hands on the shaft. The result? The rickshaw got tilted backwards as the tourists screamed in fun. Daniel then turned upside down, showcasing his impeccable skill, balance and dexterity. “Screaming ununderstandably,” read the side note. The video received 12.4 million views.

“He was a fairy,” pointed out another. 

“I looked away from my phone for a sec and when I looked back, he was upside down facing me and I lost it,” admitted one user.
