A solar powered tricycle for the physically disabled persons has been designed using the simple surface structural (SSS) analytical method without the need for rigorous complex method of the finite element analysis (FEA) usually employed in automobile industry. The structural performance analysis and powertrain performance analysis were carried out in order to predict the vehicle performance at certain operational condition, and also to assist in powertrain selection and sizing. The Simple surface structural (SSS) analysis was performed on the tricycle frame to determine the deformation of the tricycle when it is subjected to the driver and goods payloads totaling 900N. The powertrain performance simulation was carried out on the tricycle using gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 1300N for only the driver, and GVW of 2000N when goods are on board under using different accelerations in starting from. This simulation output resulted in the selected BLDC motor of 5000W and a 3000W.h battery capacity. The structural performance analysis gave a maximum deflection of about 1.3mm which is within the safe limit. The tricycle will be able to cover a minimum distance of 10km and a maximum distance of 30 km depending on the payload and the road conditions.
