Becaks are a form of transport invented by the Japanese, who decided it was wrong for men to be pulling passengers like an animal in a contraption. They invented the becak, still to be seen in country areas of Indonesia, where a two person cab for people, sitting side by side was propelled by a driver sitting behind them and steering from above.
AS matters progressed, some Becaks were given a small Motor and were name for short Becak BerMOtor or BEMO and to this day most forms of small transport are named Bemo.
Thus endeth the lesson.
