Me and my co-authors aim towards designing, validating and fabricating a three wheeled hybrid human
powered electric vehicle driven by single driver, which has a capability to act as a good viable option for city local
transportation. The vehicle would be capable of being driven electrically as well as by a single driver. We also provided
this tricycle with self-charging concept. During pedaling the batteries are being charged and after charging driver can
switch to the auto-powered mode. Also this Batteries can be charged by means of external power supply. Thus This vehicle
is capable of being driven by three energy sources. We designed the vehicle keeping ergonomics and value engineering in
mind. Our Vehicle further is designed keeping in view the comfort and minimum fatigue to the driver, Minimum stopping
distance, better stability at High speed.
