Abstract

Abstract:


In accordance to the climate change crisis, and the scramble consumption of raw materials, and energy resources, an electric car is no longer been the perfect choice that guarantees a reduction in the need for non-renewable energy resources, leading to a reduction in its emissions, and the use of a clean renewable energy source instead, as the threat of the acute shortage of a number of materials necessary for the production of these cars have become an obsession, especially after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
China, as the top chief of the electric cars manufacturers, suffers from their limited main resources depending on external resources to cover their needs, especially Nickel (Ni), Lithium (Li) and Cadmium (Cd), rather than the burden of disposing of expendable batteries, which could be stated as the research problem.
The research aims to indicate the role of velomobiles as a concise vehicle, depending on physical capabilities to move, where a one or more users can ride to facilitate their transportation needs using pedals. It can also be used for recreational purposes in touristic attractions, coastal areas, and residential communities by adults or teenagers males and females in a safe, civilized and effective manner.
