Environmentally friendly hypothetically dangerous the newest addition to our roads. Unlike the conventional Tuk this death trap will be illuminating sparks and can vanish in to a cloud of smoke with its passengers during our world renown reckless driving competitions. Welcome to sri lanka how may we kill you ?

Do not forget that old tuk tuks works on gasoline. The topic of emergency response must be addressed and safety procedures implemented. It just requires a little training for emergency responders. The topic of battery recycling must be addressed.

There is even more incentive to install more decentralised solar and wind energy. Moreover used E-tuk tuk batteries can be used to stabilize the electric grid at critical chockepoints
