Abstract	There is increasing demand for sustainable and eco friendly transportation which has led to the increased usage of electric vehicles and the use of renewable energy technologies. Solar hybrid e-rickshaws are a combination of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery-powered electric vehicles, designed to increase efficiency and decrease reliance on grid electricity. This study introduces design and performance analysis of solar hybrid e-rickshaw combined with solar panels, rechargeable batteries, BLDC motors and MPPT charge controllers. The energy consumption, solar energy production, range of the vehicles, charging time, and efficiency of the system are analyzed. The results indicate that the solar assistance proportion of total energy demand is around 25-30%, range of driving extended from about 70 km to 90 km, and driving time reduced. The proposed system is affordable, environment friendly and sustainable transport solution for urban and rural.
