SolarLab’s new rickshaw

Posted by on December 8th, 2008 in industrial design, transport

From Dezeen:

London-based research and design company SolarLab is developing a solar-powered rickshaw.

The solar generator will create 75% of the total power need to drive the vehicle, while the remaining 25% will be provided by the drivers’ pedal-power. The physical exertion needed will be dramatically less than that of even a standard bicycle, much less a traditional rickshaw, allowing any driver, not just athletes, to drive the vehicles.
