About

Jignesh designed and developed a customised two wheeler wherein one can mount the vehicle with wheelchair. He developed two variants, one with engine power based and the other electric power based. The engine and pillion body of the Honda scooter (Activa) has been shifted towards the right, while in its place a lorry is attached to the vehicle’s front part. In this lorry, a person with his wheelchair can be accommodated. The wheelchair is locked in its place using belts and/ or a wheel- docking system. The ramp provides additional safety support as it is linearly actuated and locked in its place behind the wheelchair. The modified vehicle can be driven up to speed of 60 kmph

Benefits

Modified two-wheelers empower people with disabilities by offering independent travel, improving quality of life. They're accessible, maneuverable, and often more affordable than adapted cars.
