A Solar Tricycle for Rural Transport is an eco-friendly, low-cost, and sustainable mode of transportation designed for rural and semi-urban areas. The tricycle is powered by solar panels mounted on its roof, which charge a battery bank that runs an electric motor. This setup eliminates the need for fossil fuels, reduces operating costs, and provides a reliable transport solution for passengers and goods in areas with limited access to conventional fuel stations.

The tricycle can be used for public transport, goods delivery, and agricultural produce transport, offering a green alternative that supports rural development.
