Profession: Student

Inspired by: Human is looking for greener and efficient transportation for fighting the global issues. Keeping this in mind, my Team ThunderBolt ( http://www.nitw.ac.in/sae/thunderbolt ) set out to design and fabricate a two seater hybrid trike, run on human-cum-battery power. It is highly engineered, safe and ergonomically designed, commercially viable as a product attractive to the consumers.

Benefits:
+Short distance transportation
+Urban mobility transformation
+No air and noise pollution and lesser carbon footprints.
+Ergonomically designed
+Health benefits
+Stable in all terrain conditions

Innovations:
+Unique transmission system in which inverted differential is used to transmit power of humans independently through pedals at different rpm
+Accelerator control for combining any proportion of electric power to support human power
+Impact Energy Diffuser for safety in front impact/collision.

Manufacturability:
As we have already made a working prototype, it is possible to manufacturing this trike. Using latest technologies and setup up a plant, mass production is possible.

Marketability:
The world is moving to adopt greener and healthier technologies. If the benefits of this trike is marketed properly, it can become a popular trend.
