Abstract

This study examines the functionality and performance analysis of an electric trishaw that has been designed and developed by “Beca Team” from UTeM, with a specific focus on an efficient, dependable, and environmentally friendly urban transportation alternative. The project entailed conducting tests on the functionality of its electrical components and evaluating its performance in terms of speed and power consumption. The study emphasizes the influence of fluctuating load situations and the ability of the trishaw to adapt to different terrains on its speed and acceleration. The study employs rigorous testing in real-world situations to identify potential stress spots and electrical component difficulties, thereby guaranteeing the vehicle's durability and long-term functionality. The key findings indicate that trishaws experience a decrease in performance when faced with higher inclines due to the increased power requirement. The voltage analysis forecasts that the device will operate for approximately 34.3 minutes under a constant load before it reaches the cut-off voltage. Guidelines for improving motor efficiency and establishing efficient load distribution methods are given to predic the trishaw's performance and its dependability in various urban settings. This study provides useful information that can be used to enhance the design and operation of electric trishaws, hence advancing sustainable options for urban mobility.
