Soleckshaw; Relieve To Mankind Part-1

A highly developed, solar powered model of cycle-rickshaw has been introduced in India. This new model assures to render a solution to problems of intensive bad situation, very serious pollution and reliance on fossil fuel. It will free mankind forever from hard human labor. These are some of the common problems people facing in densely populated cities of India's.
This new version with the name of "soleckshaw," is introduced this month in capital city of New Delhi. It is a motorized vehicle. It can be run by pedals and also can be driven from a solar power generated from 36-volt solar battery.
CSIR - Center for Scientific and Industrial Research - is behind the whole concept and development. It is a state-run establishment. It is not released for public use yet. These new model vehicles are being run in places like Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk area to check their specifications.
Chandni Chowk is one of the city's ancient and busiest commercial areas. It belongs back to Moghul era. It is having complex and confusing paths, narrow and twisting streets, obturated with big buses, automobiles (motorbikes and cycles) and general public.
Its biggest success will be improvement in living standards of rickshaw pullers. This was stated by Pradip Kumar Sarmah who is head of non-profit Center for Rural Development. It will raise status of job and also lessen backbreaking hard activity of pushing pedals. It will give them a new status of rickshaw drivers from rickshaw pullers. In India, there are approximately millions of cycle-rickshaws exceeding figure of eight million.
Features of this new remake include FM radio and points to charge up cellular phones. Many things are removed which were present in the old version like the weak and thin metal and wooden frames. These were the things giving Delhi rickshaws a dry and uninteresting appearance.
The maximum speed of "soleckshaw," is 15 km per hour which is equal to 9.3 miles. It features a more strengthened frame and bouncing foam seats. It is having a capacity to carry up three people. Its main energy source is its solar battery. It is having the maximum capacity to run the rickshaw up to 50 to 70 kilometers which is equal to 30 to 42 miles. Rickshaw drivers would be able to deposit expired batteries at centralized solar-powered charging stations. They would also be able to replace them by paying a nominal fee there.
