Though Rickshaw is one the most Eco-friendly vehicles but pedaling one is a herculean task that leaves the puller sweating from head to toe. But a pedicab driver from Nepal has a different story to tell when he eased the effort by installing a windmill to his rickshaw. Built by a professor in the next town, the wind mill was made of metal drum that works as a windmill to help provide extra thrust to the pedicab. Dubbed the wind-human hybrid vehicle, the windmill is connected to the rear wheel with a side-mounted gear, which would make the pedicab easier to pedal in a tailwind – pretty similar to Wind powered car we discussed earlier.
