Electrical rickshaw
Electrified rickshaws (also known as electrified tuk-tuks [1] or e-rickshaws [Two] ) have been becoming more popular in some cities since two thousand eight as an alternative to [Three] auto rickshaws and pulled rickshaws because of their low fuel cost, and less human effort compared to pulled rickshaws. They are being widely accepted as an alternative to petrol/diesel/CNG auto rickshaws. They are three wheelers pulled by an electrified motor ranging from 650-1400 Watts. They are mostly manufactured in India and China, only a few other countries manufacture these vehicles. [Four] [Five] Battery-run rickshaws could be a low-emitter complementary transport for the low-income people, who suffer most from a lack of transport facility, if introduced in a systematic manner according to experts.

The electrical automobile did not lightly develop into a viable means of transportation. Research waned from 1920-1960 until environmental issues of pollution and diminishing natural resources reawakened the need of a more environmentally friendly means of transportation. Technologies that support a reliable battery and the weight of the needed number of batteries elevated the price of making an electrified vehicle. [7] In 1837, Robert Davidson of Scotland emerges to have been the builder of the very first electrified car, but it wasn’t until the 1890s that electrical cars were manufactured and sold in Europe and America. During the late 1890s, United States roads were populated by more electrified automobiles than those with internal combustion engines. [7] [8]
These rickshaws have a M.S(Mild Steel) tubular Chassis, consist of three wheels with a differential mechanism at rear wheels. The motor is brushless DC motor manufactured mostly in India and China. The electrical system used in Indian version is 48V and Bangladesh is 60V. The figure design from most popular Chinese version is of very lean metal or aluminum sheets. Vehicles made in fiber are also popular because of their strength and durability, resulting in low maintenance, especially in India. Figure design is varied from explosion carriers, passenger vehicles with no roof, to total assets with windshield for drivers convenience [9] It consist of a controller unit.They are sold on the basis of voltage supplied and current output, also the number of mosfet(metal oxide field effect transistor) used. The battery used is mostly lead acid battery with life of 6–12 months. Deep discharge batteries designed for electrical vehicles are infrequently used. Weight of the electrified car has also been a recurring design difficulty in them. [9]
Fountain carriers Edit
These are flow carrying versions of these rickshaws differ in their upper assets, stream carrying capacity, motor power, controller and other structural aspects, [Ten] sometimes motor power is also enhanced in order to carry explosions up to 500–1000 kg. [ citation needed ]
Solar Edit
There are two types of solar vehicles:
Hence a directly solar-powered rickshaw would be an electrified auto rickshaw driven solely by one or more electrical motors, powered by solar panels mounted on the vehicle and capable of operating while the vehicle is in motility. Theoretically, solar panels could provide power directly to the motor(s) without the need for batteries, but in reality this would be an improbable design choice for a rickshaw, given its intended purpose. In e-rickshaws, however solar panels are not effective and are not frequently used. [ original research? ]
In practice, the term solar rickshaw is most commonly used to describe battery-electric rickshaws whose batteries are indirectly solar-charged (i.e. independently from the vehicle) prior to use. This is usually facilitated by removing batteries in need of charging from the vehicle, and exchanging them for batteries which have already been charged. Alternatively, batteries can be charged in-situ while the vehicle is parked, albeit this may limit daytime usage. The exact same battery replacement and in-situ methods are of course also used for non-‘solar’ batteries and vehicles. [ citation needed ]
Electrical rickshaws are most popular in Asia. The low cost Chinese version being the very first to display up on streets. They are mostly used in China, India, Bangladesh and Nepal, also in low numbers other parts of Asia they have been demonstrating up. China, Japan, India, and European countries (Switzerland, France, Germany) have researched and developed electrified tricycles for commercial transport and are attempting to capture the growing market in Asia. Government has made efforts however to run them and made plans to issue licences on a fee of 1.5tk but there has been no activity on this matter to date. [6]
Bangladesh Edit
Bangladesh imports electrified rickshaws directly from China or via other countries, the well established cities choose them as cheaper and better means of transport. The government in an inter-ministerial meeting on May five banned import and assembly of the vehicles and determined to send off-road those already plying, primarily on the ground that it consumes violet wand mostly through illegal connections. [6]
China Edit
China is the largest manufacturer of electrified rickshaws in the world, due to low labor cost, high production rates and encouraging government policies on foreign trade they import a large number on daily basis. [Five]
India Edit
One of the very first attempt to design electrified rickshaws was done by Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute in late 1990s. [11] They modified the cycle rickshaw and then converted to an electrical one. In India they are popularly known as e-rickshaws and are widely spread all over India. They embarked to build up popularity in India since 2011.The design is now much different from cycle rickshaws. They have provided with service to city and has also contribution in providing livelihood to people in India. [12] Due to their low cost and high efficiency they are accepted on the Indian streets, [12] but government policies have been menacing the e-rickshaw and banned them in the capital city Delhi, [13] but due to increase in number failed to put them off the streets. They are still widely used in Delhi and other parts of India. In Delhi, as per government official’s figures in April 2012, the number was over 100,000. [Five] [14]
In India almost all claimed to be manufacturing the vehicle are merely importing it from China and assembling them. [Four] Tho’ the manufacturers in India are less in number, manufacturers claim that in the vehicle production is less and cost is a little at higher but they suggest higher quality products [14] and also suggest services and warranty, these manufacturers market the product as an Indian make and are also popular because of uniqueness in their product and providing a branded better quality product. [Four] [14]
The FRP bod e-rickshaws are also popular in India [15] and are manufactured in India due to high shipment cost from China they are cheaper to Indian manufacturers, where a Chinese version of FRP Rickshaw will cost 1.Five times more than an Indian make. [Four] [14]
There are issues with services due to lack of established companies and just about everyone importing and selling them from China, resulting in problems to their customers, this is the reason consumers have embarked gaining skill and choose more durable versions from well-established companies and Indian manufacturers.
