Design and Development of SOW-Hy Electric Tricycle

Edwin T. Romero | Ramon S. Idanan | Jefferson E. Urbano

Abstract:

This research accomplished the design, construction, and evaluation of a Solar-Wind Hybrid (SOW-Hy) Electric Tricycle as a sustainable transportation alternative. The tricycle combines innovative features, including solar, wind, and pedal-powered charging systems. The tricycle demonstrated important technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental sustainability through validating and processing results from user’s survey. The study's results highlight the potential of such hybrid systems to lessen dependence on fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and raise sustainable mobility. Future research will focus on improving the energy storage system and extending the tricycle's functioning range.
