E-Trikes Thread

A body like that made with Fiber glass would weigh about 150Kg.

So is that good or bad or ????

My E-Trike design - if I joined the contest.

- concept for Tsikot forums lang kaya walang headlights / tail lights
- fiberglass body, plastic curtains for side door and windows
- hinged side impact beam for side door
- negative tumblehome (side windows slant outward at the top) for shading from the sun







Good enough to be among the top three and win 200,000 pesos?

Your e-trike design may look good but it will not be on the top three. One reason, the body design is complex and have curves in the wrong way. The complex design of the body would make manufacturing more expensive. The wrong curves reduces the interior space of the vehicle or making the vehicle overly wider than it should be.

Personally I would prefer seating designs more similar to the "tilapia" trikes being used in THE FORT & Taguig area. This means less enclosing side walls for easier passenger access in and out. Keeping to a "jeepney" style passenger area inherits the problems of the old system.

Taking from another country.... the Thailand Tuktuk is a successful design which offers lots of comfortable passenger space



And to carry more passengers, there are longer variants...

i can't do much with a p300 budget design wise. more likely will come up with a dumb down version of what's already plying out there.

would've been cooler/practical if they asked a graphic skin re-design, anything ennobling the pinoy e-motion wazevah
