Solar powered rickshaws!

The Department of Posts in India has introduced solar power rickshaws for use in mail delivery.Ten of these rickshaws will be trialled before a national rollout.These solar powered rickshaws - known as Soleckshaws - are a form of Pedicab, a pedal-operated and motor assisted zero-carbon emission, urban transport vehicle. The speed of a Soleckshaw matches a powered vehicle in downtown traffic conditions at around 10-15 kmh.There are no solar panels on the rickshaw itself. Each vehicle carries a deep cycle battery that is recharged from a central recharging station which is powered by solar energy.
