Description
Description | The emKoko project involves the design and construction of an electric pedestrian-pulled handcart (mkokoteni) to assist in moving irrigation implements on farms, replacing manual pulling with an electric motorized solution. The project was initiated to address the challenge of moving heavy loads efficiently in agricultural settings, with specifications including a 400kg load weight, 48V 45Ah lithium battery, and a 3kW motor with a rider seat. The design was modular, focusing on ease of maneuverability, ground clearance, torque, and off-road capability, culminating in a rear-seat-driven model with upgraded battery capacity for a 0.5-ton payload. |
