01The customer problem
02Operating it in your location
Fuel or charging, routine maintenance, approved route or park charges, licensing, insurance and safe vehicle storage all affect the true daily margin. Confirm the local rules before operating and keep a daily record of fares and expenses.
03What you need to test it
A roadworthy and properly documented tricycle, required protective and maintenance items, secure storage, operating records and access to an approved route or park where applicable.
04Your first practical test
Prepare one credible example of tricycle transport business, define exactly what a small first service includes and ask five suitable customers for specific feedback.
05Likely customers
Begin with commuters who need dependable short-distance transport on an approved local route. Choose one group for the first test so your message, sample and price are specific rather than trying to appeal to everyone.
06A simple first offer
A limited tricycle transport business offer for one defined customer group, including a safe, dependable local journey on an agreed route, one agreed delivery date and clearly stated boundaries.
