Replacement pedicab tires.

Where can I find replacement tires. My friend translated it and said they were tubular, but I doubt it. It is also a very strange size.

26 x 1 3/4 is a size that Schwinn used for many decades. what ISO lists as a 571 tire bead seat diameter. Is this the size of your tires? Do know that bicycle tires are not just size specific but also can have casing and tread differences that might be important to consider. Andy

It looks like they are 26 x 1.75 tires (not tubeless)
If I am right, here is a good deal on a pair

You NEVER interchange decimal & fractional sizes.

See Sheldon-
https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

Look for 650C or ??-571mm markings as Andy mentioned.

1.75 and 1 3/4 are not the same thing in bike tires.

they do look like they might be tubulars. The rim doesn't look deep enough for a hook and bead. I could be wrong. Or maybe they are S7 (Schwinn) size?

Here's Sheldon Brown's tire size article. A little bit of a long read but you can just skip to the charts to show what each size is in different measurement systems. ISO sizes are usually the most accurate for finding what will fit your rim and as Andrew mentioned the tires in the photos would be a 571mm BSD (Bead Seat Diameter) ISO size. My guess about the "tubular" reference from the friend is just a mistranslation of a "tubed" or "clincher" tire. Tire Sizing Systems (sheldonbrown.com)
