Electric rickshaw
Electric rickshaws (also known as electric tuk-tuks or e-rickshaws) have been becoming more popular in some cities since 2008 as an alternative to auto rickshaws and pulled rickshaws because of their low fuel cost, and less human effort compared to pulled rickshaws. They are being widely accepted as an alternative to petrol/diesel/CNG auto rickshaws. They are 3 wheels pulled by an electric motor ranging from 650-1400 Watts. They are mostly manufactured in China, only a few other countries manufacture these vehicles.〔(It’s cheaper: Dealers import rickshaw parts from China, assemble them here | The Indian Express )〕〔(Regulation threatens India's e-rickshaws - Features - Al Jazeera English )〕
Battery-run rickshaws could be a low-emitter complementary transport for the low-income people, who suffer most from a lack of transport facility, if introduced in a systematic manner according to experts.〔http://archive.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=187825〕
==Evolution of electric vehicles==
The electric automobile did not easily develop into a viable means of transportation. Research waned from 1920-1960 until environmental issues of pollution and diminishing natural resources reawakened the need of a more environmentally friendly means of transportation. Technologies that support a reliable battery and the weight of the needed number of batteries elevated the price of making an electric vehicle.〔Whitener, Barbara. The Electric Car Book. Louisville, KY: Love Street Books, 1981.〕 In 1837, Robert Davidson of Scotland appears to have been the builder of the first electric car, but it wasn't until the 1890s that electric cars were manufactured and sold in Europe and America. During the late 1890s, United States roads were populated by more electric automobiles than those with internal combustion engines.〔〔Shacket, Sheldon R. The Complete Book of Electric Vehicles.
