Fruiti-Cycle is a low cost distribution solution for fruits and vegetables for small scale farmer in Uganda.
Vision: To eliminate the current 50% post-harvest losses in fruits and vegetables happening in the distribution chain due to poor handling, poor storage and poor means of transportation in the world.
Mission: To increase market accessibility for local farmers in rural areas or less served urban areas
The product is an electric motorized tricycle mounted with a detachable refrigerated storage unit for conveniently and safely distributing fresh fruits and vegetables.
Fruiti-Cycle uses manual peddling energy to generate electricity then converts it up to 50km/hr motorized system. This energy allows a famer to carry 5 times more produce (up to 300kg carrying capacity) every time unlike the current normal bicycles with 60kg carrying capacity. The energy also allows a farmer to reach far markets in a radius of 100km without getting exhausted unlike the normal bicycles that can only travel as far as 30km before a farmer gets very exhausted.
Unlike other motor tricycles in the market, Fruiti-Cycle has a refrigerated storage unit which uses evaporative cooling system powered by solar to prolong the shelf-life of the produce during distribution and to reduce mechanical damages due to poor packaging. The storage unit is also detachable to be used within the market by market vendors to preserve their produce up to five days, significantly reducing the total post-harvest losses from 50% to only 10%.
