The drawings of the modern cycle rickshaws were designed for the India Cycle Rickshaw Improvement Project. The project resulted in nearly half a million modern rickshaws in North India. The new rickshaws are revolutionary in terms of safety and comfort both for the rickshaw drivers as well as the passengers. Advantages include a 30% weight reduction by means of an integral tubular frame, the provision of a multi gear system specifically designed for rickshaws, and a lower center of gravity, which improves the stability of the vehicle.
