By far the most common rowed vehicles are boats. This article would more appropriately be titled "Rowed Land Vehicles". I have added the title tag until this is resolved.
Could be. Got any suggestions, preferably neither trade names nor unreasonably cumbersome? I did think of "Rowed land vehicles" or something like it, but felt it too long, and "street rowing vehicles" suited me but someone else thought that the vehicles wouldn't be safe on the road.

I have reverted the removal of the title tag. In addition to issue that most rowed vehicles are boats, a google search on "Rowed Vehicle" gets very few hits that use the term in the context of this article, and all the links that I have checked that are in this context either point back to this wikipedia article or quotes of this wikipedia article.

help) two examples are shown, a tricycle build by George W. Lee in the 1870s, refered as a "rowing-action tricycle" and a design from K. Borkowski (1974) refered as a "rowing-action bicycle". I think rowing cycles or rowing-action cycles would be the better name for this category. The name "rowing bike" is used by Thys but as a generic name, you could see the homepage in German and Dutch use the respective generic names in german and dutch (Ruderrad and Roeifiets), while Rowbike is a trademark. Rowed vehicles would clearly include boats.

This article is currently referencing a lot of specific models. Crediting manufacturers for specific significant innovations is fine, but listing all the models they make and minor variations (such as adult versus child size) is not. I have removed a few of them. Some innovations have multiple manufacturers listed, so some digging needs to be done to figure out who has the patent, credit them appropriately, and delete the manufactures that copied the design later.
The result of the move request was: page moved. While consensus was clear, do note the existence of rowbike. Don't know if this means a merge or not. Vegaswikian ( talk) 23:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Rowing cycles — Rowing cycles appears to be a generic name, used for a long time and offers a better dscription of the subject. See also discussion *article title*.

Should the late 1880s "roadsculler" craze be worked into this article. Just ran across a picture of the contestants in the 1888 Madison Square Garden race. [1].-- Milowent • has spoken 03:48, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
