چکیده
Manually powered hand tricycles are commonly used vehicles used by the mobility challenged for conveyance and transportation in India. However, the existing models are inadequate in many essential features. The authors have developed a new design, which can be configured according to the user’s requirement and comfort. The features that are adjustable are the driving mechanism, seat height, and inclination, back-rest inclination, and foot-rests. Telescopic tubes are used in all the modular features.
