Well done guys.
Below is a list of items to address (design requirements) regarding the design of our magnificent Agri Ev.

: : ROBBIE : :
**Robbie, hope you get better mate’

- We are still working on a narrow track Agri-Ev
- There is a front drive engine/tractor… think of a mini quad that pulls canoes on wheels…

Engine / Tractor
- two person capacity
- robust under carriage
>> “beds and furrows”
- as light as possible (buoyant)
- maintenance free
- small to medium in size
- purely functional
- easy to read instrumentation
- easy to use controls
- used for pulling
- independent suspension
- weatherproof
>> “urban street sweeper”
- P.T.O a separate motor
- Spare tyre / or no need at all… e.g. Michelin Tweel

Used for:
- transportation of produce
- used like a tractor
>> able to retrofit numerous farming tools (graders, augers, bores, etc..)
- P.T.O for local farming community
- Power generation…


Cart / Trolley
- Tilting solar cell roof
- Small and large variations
- Transportation for produce, therefore modular and adaptable
- Lightweight
- Can be shelter for vehicle
- Refuge
- Can be converted into a basic four legged tent with pegs.

Used for:
- modular, converts from a number of trolley’s into a temporary market stall
- lunch shelter, used in the sun or rain
- can keep produce fresh, encourage air circulation
