Trouble is that there is no legal definition of a "rickshaw" or a

They are a bit of an annoyance, aren't they? I have seen them roll up
to myself and others countless times to try and tout for business.
Their prices are also extortionate.

but are they extortionate when compared to black cabs for the distance
(I really have no idea, but I suspect not)

Yes, I think they are. Many years ago, I wanted to use one to get from
Victoria Station to Earls Court. The guy wanted £50 up front.
