Abstract
The electric rickshaw serves as a crucial mode of transport for seamless connectivity in numerous urban areas. The majority of the vehicles in use in developing nations contribute to noise and air pollution, except for those powered by humans. However, commercially operated human-powered vehicles require substantial physical exertion to operate. A hybrid rickshaw, powered by a battery and assisted by a motor, can offer a comparatively comfortable, quiet, and pollution-free transportation solution. The main emphasis of this study was on evaluating the performance of electric rickshaws. This electric rickshaw has seen significant alterations in passenger capacity compared to the widely prevalent existing rickshaws. The integration of a battery-powered motor drive system with the current pedal setup. This would enable the utilization of a comparatively smaller motor and storage batteries for automation, while also lessening human labor and maintaining the possibility of a fully human-powered drive. The performance test, validated through real-world testing, showed that the hybrid vehicle delivers results in terms of speed, acceleration, and power consumption. This facilitates simpler motion control and offers a good opportunity to adjust the balance between human effort and motor power.
