For adventure it could be a great idea however practicaly it would be quite tiresome to ride it for own transportation. Unleass one is habituate one normal can ride maximum10 km (6 miles) in one hour when the road is good.
The cost of rickshaw varries from Rs. 5000/- to Rs 10000/- depending on its type and quality of material.

good luck for your adventure to travel India in a cycle rickshaw. as far as cycle rickshaw cost it is around 10000 rs to 12000 depend of extra fittings you need . you have to register with rto office if you are using at metropolitan city like kolkatta,Delhi,Chennai. a temporary license is must.
or get a permission letter from tourist department ministry asking them to grant you the permission for this . so that you can keep that letter with you . the tourist department of India will surely help you in this regard.

Do you have the energy to ride it in Indian roads?
I say you buy a Bicycle instead which would cost you Rs3000.
No manufacturers make cycle rickshaw , they are custom made by local cycle merchants. It will cost you Rs8000 approx
1US$ = 40 India Rupee

I love this question.. should cost about INR 7000 to 8000. I think one has to register his rickshaw with police but since you are not gonna use it for commercial purposes, there is no need to register.
P.S. Are you sure u wanna roam around India in a rickshaw?
