MosJan Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 ARMENIA RESEMBLES INDIA [03:05 pm] 27 August, 2008 http://www.a1plus.am/file/img/b/8873.jpg more images http://www.a1plus.am/img/ImgNavPrev.gif http://www.a1plus.am/img/ImgNavNext.gif Now that the price of benzine has gone up young environmentalists, who are worried about the ecological situation in Yerevan, want to promote an ecologically clean transportation means quite unknown to Armenian. Riksha is a three-wheel bicycle which can transport up to 3-4 passengers at a time. “Riksha is quite popular in India but we have imitated the European model which is comparatively easy to ride,” says Mariam who was the first to suggested the idea of rikhsa in Armenia. “Bezine pollutes the air while riskha is an ecologically clean vehicle,” she adds. The first Armenian riskha is covered with pictures and appeals to keep the environment clean. It was made by cyclist Samvel Hovhannissian in a specialised “HVZ” workshop. The vehicle has got front and back lights, sound signal, hand and foot brakes. “I can make such a bicycle every month,” says Samvel. Drivers can speed up to 35km/h. The bicycle can also work by a sun-accumulator. Riksha appeals to drivers and passengers with its bright colours. Samvel and Mariam say that random passengers wonder if they can afford one. So far such bicycles are not on sale. The number of rikshas will probably increase in the capital streets as young environmentalists have applied to the City Hall for further assistance. http://www.a1plus.am/en/?page=issue&iid=63496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyTerrain Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 They should seriously consider mass producing these babies. In the long run this may actually save our lungs from cancer. Armenia is becoming a toxic wasteland and nobody gives a damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
