Retrofit Turns a bicycle to an ‘Ambulance’
Posted: July 29th, 2009 By: Juliana Rotich
Zambikes is a project that retrofits bicycles by adding a trailer. This is especially useful in rural Zambia (and other parts of Africa) where there aren’t many cars to get the sick to hospital, much less an ambulance.
Watch how the ‘Zambulance’ retrofit is made…
The ‘ZamCart’
A multipurpose trailer
Interestingly, the Zambike project sells and outfits bikes under the local brand name of ‘Amaka Sana’, the Bemba word for ‘very strong’ .
