Abstract: : In several Asian countries, three-wheeled vehicles called hand carts are commonly used as people and goods taxis. The vehicle's design is simple and unproductive, yet it fits the environment it operates in rather well. The increasing need for sustainable and effective transportation solutions has led to the need for upgrades for traditional handcarts, which are commonly used to convey goods in both urban and rural settings. The purpose of this project is to design and construct an electric handcart as a more efficient and greener substitute for manual carts. An electric motor on the electric handcart will aid in transporting heavy objects, reducing the physical strain on users. It will run on a system of rechargeable batteries. The design incorporates elements such as an LED display, a battery management system, and a solar panel that serves as a charging hub to increase the use of the cart. The handcart will be lightweight but durable, constructed using sustainable materials.
