Trishaw

, , , , ,


Dimensions of Trishaw: 1.9m (Front wheel to Back wheel)
1.36m (Back left wheel to back right wheel)
1.8m (Height: from the wheel to the shelter)

Weight of Trishaw:
Approx. 100kg (including battery / motor / cassette player

Material:
The trishaw side-carriage is made of fibre-glass, the wheels are made of stain-less steel; all-weather cover is made of water-proof canvas.

Load: The trishaw can hold up to 200kg

Width of seat: 37cm

Other features:
Headlight, side mirror, two indicator lights, electric horn and bicycle ring

Battery-generated motor:
The set up of the controls in the entire system is designed with the rider in mind, and its operation is simple and uncomplicated. To increase the speed, the rider only needs to press the on/off switch above the right handlebar while cycling, and increase the speed of the trishaw to the desired speed before releasing the switch. The battery-powered trishaw will then travel at that constant speed. To reduce the speed, the rider simply uses the brakes as control. Maximum speed = 20km/hr.

Place of manufacture: The trishaws were produced in China.
