Electric Skatable and Walkable Shoes(ESWS)
We know that ?Bangladesh's transportation system is vary bad.It's around 6000 buses run in Dhaka city and on an average speed is just 6.5 Km/h. It's like a walking speed.The carbon dioxide emission is 73190 kilo tone per year.The traffic congestion in Dhaka is wasting around 3.2 million? working hours daily and it's causing a loss of Tk 370 billion a year?.?
After 700-800 times failure and takes 2 years of time finally I have made a solution for this problem.The world first shoe that can be able to electrically skate(20km) and walk when I need.It's very useful,safety and environment friendly. Anyone can afford this and pass trough the traffic easily without doing any hard work.
This solution can take anyone to go a distance around 20km in just 1 taka. So it will really help to reduce the transportation cost and it's company will be the working place for many unemployed people.
Bangladesh's area is around 147,570? square kilometer and the population is around 170 million. Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and one of the most crowded place in the world. Over 20 million people lives in this 306.4 km²? area.
Transportation system is one of the main problem of Dhaka .Everyone of this city is affected by this problem. Not only this 20 million people but also the people of other city's and rural area's are affected by this major problem.
Most of the people have no personal transportation system .They are to travel by bus or Uber, which are costly and responsible for traffic jam. In that case my patented electric skatable and walkable shoe(ESWS) will contribute a lot to get rid of boring traffic jam. Because it's a personal transportation system. Anyone can go anywhere with this and it's cost is around 1taka/ 20km.
2 years ago I had an examination in BUET and I was in mirpur section 1. The distance between mirpur 1 to BUET is 10 km but it was taken 3 hours to reach there and got fail in the examination due to going late by 2 hours. After that incident I decided to make a solution that can get rid of traffic jam. I am from a middle class family and most of the people of Bangladesh are middle class. I know what can we afford. So after thinking about all people needs I decided to invent those shoes(ESWS) and after 2 years of hardworking I have completed my project with a satisfying result. It's price will be similar to a price of a simple bicycle, so everyone can afford this.
From the beginning of humanities, people are trying to make transportation system batter to batter. Rocket, airplane, helicopter, car, motorbike, bicycle, ebike, hover board, and many kinds of vehicle have made by so many inventors. But there is no personal vehicle has ever invented that can run in on road ,off road and anywhere we want to go. But I have made this solution .
I invented the world first electric shoes that can be skate if you want and also can be walk by wearing this without change anything. It's a simple shoe in terms of look, but in terms of technology it is generally ground breaking. It operated by your thinking . If you want to skate just turn on the switch from your rc breslet and press a little bit by using your toe and it will start to run. It has a range of 20 km with the top speed of 15 km/h now. You can control the speed by your toe pressing power. I can able to give the speed around 25 to 30 km/h but I have limited the speed for safety. Two powerful motors can provide a maximum power of 500 watts(250watts each) and a 120 w/h lithium ion battery pack(each) produces the electricity for the motors. If you want to walk ,just turn off your rc breslet, it will lock the rollers automatically and you can able to walk ,jump or jog just like a normal shoe. It is water and dust resistance. So you can go anywhere you want to. It has a wight of around 900 grams each. It sounds heavy but actually you can't feel anything when you are walking.
It's a dream work for me. I have failure more than 800 times and took 2 years of hardworking to invent this. I believe, that will be the future of transportation system and help all the people of Bangladesh and all over the world.

There are a lot of skating shoes, skate board , hover board , bicycle and motorcycle are available in the world, but nothing can pass the traffic jam easily and they are not usable for all place like shopping mall, footpath, upper flour etc. My invented Electric skatable and walkable shoe(ESWS) is a new personal transportation system that can be able to run everywhere like footpath ,shopping mall ,on road and off road. You can also walk by wearing these shoes. So it is very safety and useful. Boys, girls and people of any age's can use this shoes easily. In Bangladesh transportation cost per 20 kilometers is 50 taka for bus, 200-300 taka for car/uber, 50 taka for motorcycle an so on. But it's cost is just 1 taka per 20 kilometers. More over all that vehicles take a lot of space which is responsible for traffic jam. On the other hand ESWS don't take any extra space because it's a shoe.
Most of the people of Bangladesh lives in 5th or 6th floured building and there is no lift fatalities ,only ladder system is available and most of the building has no parking space. So people of those building can not use any personal vehicle.
But the ESWS can solve all these problem very easily because it's wearable, useful, and it's price will be affordable to all .
Those fatalities make my ESWS innovative and it will reduce the traffic jam and carbon emission to the environment.
Theory of Change is a tool used to model how short-term changes lead to long-term impacts.
In Bangladesh there are many kinds of vehicle available, but most of the people can not afford those vehicle. Buses ,cars, bikes are available everywhere but they are expensive and make the unwanted traffic jam.
In that case my invented ESWS will change the whole things. It's a new vehicle that will be available in cheap prices and it's very much useful. So everyone can purchase this and use them everywhere. That will change the personal transportation system over night because everyone's trying to go anywhere in short time, easily, safely and efficiently. And all that features are available in my shoes(ESWS).
So we can see the output and outcomes in very short time.
- Middle-Income
There are 170 million people live in Bangladesh . 34% of them live in urban area and rest of 66% people live in rural area. In rural area most of the markets and school, college are to much far from their houses and they are to go by walking ,bicycle or other rural vehicles which is costly. In urban area offices , schools ,colleges, and universities are much more far from their house.
So if I can make a company of it and production it at an affordable price, more than 100,000 ESWS will be sold.
And next 5 years I hope there are more than 10% of our population will purchase it and use it everywhere.
My goals are within the next year is to make a company of ESWS which will be a working place for many unemployed person. Technology changes day by day. So my technology will be changed if needed.
From the childhood ,my dream and goal is to make a futuristic vehicle company. So after one year I will try to focus on other vehicles like cars, buses, trucks, bikes and even airplanes to make them futuristic, usable and affordable.
The main barrier of my goals are financial and some technical problems. The main technical problem is the battery problem. I didn't find the appropriate battery in Bangladeshi local market and I am trying to bring it from china. It takes more than 1 month of time to reach Bangladesh. I already ordered the batteries from china and they need 25 days to come in Bangladesh .Till then I have to use local lead acid batteries which is very heavy but working very well.
Financial problem is the main problem to me , because I don't have enough money to invest in my invention. I save my pocket money to invest my dreams. It's very difficult to invest more money in research for a university student.
That's the problem I'm facing now. But next five years I will face other problems, like battery damage, market loss, and any kind of technical damages of my ESWS.
At present if I get a sponsorship or any financial support from others I will be able to open a company and solve my technical problems also and able to fulfill my dreams. If I can't get it, I will take a small loan to start a small company of ESWS. By taking the profit of sold products I will try to make my company bigger to bigger. I will also add some new features to attract the customers. After one year or more I will make some other vehicle ,that can help me to stay in market perfectly.
So this is how I will overcome from my barriers.
- Not registered as any organization
I have no team. I built the ESWS completely by myself.
Tiger Challenge from Tiger It Foundation is one of the biggest scientific competition all over the world. It will be a great honor to me If I can be a finalist .
It's price money is huge . So if I can win this, I will make the company of my invented Electric Stakable and Walkable Shoes(ESWS) and fulfill my dreams.
That's why I am applying to the Tiger Challenge.
