This project is based on tadpole trike to provide safe and compact commuting solution to late Lerner who never driven any vehicle due to reasons like financial situation, fear of accident, balancing issue etc. Also
for those whose face problem due to aging. Through this project I will try to understand physical and mental issue faced by user. by understanding multiple aspect like context, product and user we can get multiple design insights. These insights will be translated into design solution. Many three-wheelers which exist in the form of motorcycle-based machines are often called trikes and often have the front single wheel and mechanics similar to that of a motorcycle and the rear axle similar to that of a car. Often such vehicles are owner-constructed using a portion of a rear-engine, rear-drive Volkswagen Beetle in combination with a motorcycle front end. Other trikes include ATVs that are specially constructed for off-road use. Three-wheelers can have either one wheel at the back and two at the front (2F1R), (for example: Morgan Motor Company) or one wheel at the front and two at the back (1F2R) (such as the Reliant
Robin). Due to better safety when braking, an increasingly popular form is the front-steering “tadpole” or “reverse trike” sometimes with front drive but usually with rear drive. A variant on the ‘one at the front’ layout was the Scott Sociable, which resembled a four-wheeler with a front wheel missing.
