Problem Statement:

Transportation for Physically Handicapped people

---

Detail:

The tricycle operates on a battery & DC Motor (24V, 21 W, 1.5A). The battery allows the vehicle to run for 8 hours after full charge. The motors give a uniform speed of 8 km/hour facilitating its movement on sand also. Asjadbhai has incorporated few other features also. It has a reverse brake system, which allows this tricycle to move forward only. Hence, the tricycle can run on incline also without any fear of moving backwards, down the slope. Ergonomics have been carefully considered. The side metal arm support can be lifted allowing the disabled person climb up the seat comfortably. Once the person gets seated, the same can be lowered and locked. The seat has a push back system so that when the user feels tired he can push it back and extend it like a bed and take rest. Up to three hundred kg weight can be carried on his vehicle. The vehicle, which has a headlight, also has a provision of a water bottle holder and a news paper/magazine holder.http://nif.org.in/innovation/battery_-operated_-tricycle_-customized-_for_-the_-lower_-limb_-physically-challenged/44
