         The ISDA Foundation takes charge of the maintenance and research and development .  According to the personnel of ISDA Foundation, the batteries were increased from 82 watts to 102 watts to adjust to the city's terrain and make droptime shorte for recharging.

         The E-trike carries 10 passengers and is more comfortable for the commuters than the current designs of tricycles. The daily amortization is P300.00 which according to Mr. So, a lighter amortization package for the owner.

         Ms. Tesiorna suggested if it would be possible to install alternator to allow self-charging.

          The white painted E-trikes are the first twenty units which has been recalled to allow the change of battery.  The green ones are new deliveries and has owners already.

         Mr. So facilitated the franchise and has been granted already.  The E-trikes are already readied for turnover to project beneficiaries.  Congratulations to Gov. Sol F.  Matugas for placing green jobs as one of its program.
