E-Ricks

[MAB]

Just found this on the BBC news website!

BBC News - Will E-ricks replace rickshaws on the streets of Delhi?

No chance, the range will always kill them, two hours endurance at most is nowhere near enough for a working day.

Am I mistaken or does the guy in the eRick not pedal at all?

Why condemn rickshawriders who switch over to a life of getting stuck when the battery runs out, obesity and hassle with parts they do not understand an can't maintain or repair?

Aren't there better solutions available?

Like this?: Wind power accelerates the pedal-powered rickshaw

I have doubts that it actually produces sufficient power though.
