Sustainable energy alternatives for local 
transportation are explored in this research paper via the 
lens of electric rickshaws. Rickshaws are often utilized for 
local transportation. With a focus on reducing negative 
impacts on the environment and promoting sustainable 
mobility, the goal is to create alternatives to traditional 
automobiles that operate on fossil fuels that are both
ecologically benign and economical. In the article’s first 
portion, the importance of finding new ways to use energy 
in the transportation sector is discussed. After that, the 
article focuses on the rise of rickshaws as a cleaner 
alternative to traditional automobile. The low cost and the 
ability to carry a few passengers at once make rickshaws 
ideal for short trips in heavily populated regions with high 
levels of air pollution. This paper provides information on 
the design of electric rickshaws, including the structure, 
power transmission, power modes, controllability, and 
stability of the vehicles. The section titled "Findings and 
Discussion," emphasize many advantages of electric 
rickshaws as well as the opportunities for their broad use. 
Countries like Sri Lanka, who embrace this environmentally 
friendly and economically viable alternative, stand to gain 
considerable economic, social, and environmental 
advantages. The effective execution of this project will help 
to the creation of a transportation system that is more 
environmentally friendly and efficient in its use of energy, 
as well as solve the urgent problems of urbanization, 
pollution, and resource depletion.
