FX students invent e-scooter
Students of Mechanical Engineering stream of Francis Xavier College of Engineering in Tirunelveli have invented a low-cost electric scooter. Nitish Kumar, Balakumaran, Balasuriya, Mohammed Abdul Rahim, Venkatesh and Krupa Selva Kumar have invented the e-scooter which can also go in the reverse direction with the flip of a switch. It is easier to balance due to the added stability provided by the third wheel. Thus inexperienced drivers or people with balance problems will benefit from it. At an average speed of 35 km per hour, one can ride up to 50 km. Compared to vehicles available in the market, it is easy to maintain and affordable (less than 60,000) with other accessories.
