Handicap people face huge challenges to make normal and vital activities. Transportation is one of these hindrances that daily defies handicap people. In developing countries like Colombia this situation is worst because of the infrastructure with elevators, ramps and especial public transportation to handicap people is low or inexistent. Even though, this kind of vehicles already exist in the market, their prices are unaffordable in places like Colombia due to import costs. In an effort to improve the conditions of this population, it was proposed to develop a handicapped tricycle using local components and affordable technology to massive use. To develop this prototype was used the classical mechanic design methodology. In preliminary evaluations, the prototype showed a good balance in ergonomics, functionality and costs.
