Abstract :

In the village of India, the main method of traveling is to ride a bicycle or to walk. A hand-powered tricycle, therefore, provides great freedom for a disabled individual. It enables him to go to work and school and to interact with other people. These tricycles are built in the village by a man who worked as an apprentice in another town to learn the skill. The tricycle frame consists primarily of square steel tubing, and the mechanical components are bicycle parts that are available at the local market.

The purpose of this project was to make improvements to the current design. The team was able to identify problems by testing a tricycle ought back. A main concern was to utilize technology appropriate, so that the nationals can continue to build the tricycles with their resources. The team will be presenting the new design to the nationals in IIMT.
