    Soleckshaw, A Solar-Powered Rickshaw For Indian Streets

    FEATURED, WHEELS

    I’ve never been to India, but I can imagine the rigors of a rickshaw driver.  Ferrying customers and  their packages on nothing but brute strength – all day, everyday – is like a mild form of torture.  In fact, India’s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) director general Samir Brahmachari says the average rickshaw driver is often undernourished, getting back only 1,600 of the 4,000 calories they usually expend on an average day. Remedying that plight is among their [...]
