Especially in busy streets of cities, pollution is at alarmingly high levels due to very slow movement of automobile vehicles. Keeping these in mind, solar powered motor assisted tricycle (SOLECKSHAW) has been developed. SOLECKSHAW is an eco friendly tricycle. It is driven partly by pedal and partly by electric power supplied by a battery that is charged from solar energy. An override mechanism has been used at the center of rear axle; resulting in proper turning and better dynamic stability of the vehicle. Its power source is solar energy, which eliminates the problem of environment pollution that lies with other automobile. This vehicle provides driving comfort to the driver and can run for longer distances compared to manual driven cycle rickshaws, resulting in higher earning of rickshaw pullers. Further, it reduces the drudgery of Rickshaw pullers, who are prone to TB, due to heavy manual effort required for normal rickshaw. As a whole this SOLECKSHAW is one of the best vehicles of tomorrow for the congested downtown transport
