We propose a Corbino-disk geometry of a graphene membrane under out-of-plane strain deformations as a convenient path to detect pseudo-magnetic and electric fields via electronic transport. The three-fold symmetric pseudo-magnetic field changes sign six times as function of angle, leading to snake states connecting the inner and outer contacts and to nearly quantized transport. For dynamical strain obtained upon AC gating, the system supports an AC pseudo-electric field which, in the presence of the pseudo-magnetic field, produces a net electronic charge current in the absence of an external voltage, via a pseudo-Hall effect.
