News - The Solekshaw
by Life Positive
The "soleckshaw," unveiled last month in New Delhi, is a motorised
cycle rickshaw that can be pedalled
normally or run on a 36-volt solar
battery.
Developed by the state-run Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), prototypes are receiving a baptism of fire by being road-tested in Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk area.

One of the city's oldest and busiest markets, dating back to the Moghul era, Chandni Chowk comprises a byzantine maze of narrow, winding streets, choked with buses, cars, scooters, cyclists and brave pedestrians.
"The most important achievement will be improving the lot of rickshaw drivers," said Pradip Kumar Sarmah, head
of the non-profit Centre for Rural Development.
