The aim of this project was to create a design solution for a one–off research vehicle that is being developed by the Automotive Research Department of the University of Bradford. This vehicle is a human powered tricycle that features an electric motor, which combined with a torque sensor creates a “green” everyday commuter vehicle for road use. The needed

design solution has to transform the steel tube construction of the tricycle into a aesthetically pleasing and desirable commuter vehicle that will offer comfort, practicality, economy and joy to the user. Although this is a “one–off” vehicle, it is be able to make a competitive product in the European electric recumbent tricycles and bicycles market.
