Disacare in Lusaka builds these ambulances: http://cadlab6.mit.edu/bike.ambulance/ I helped design them a few years back. Check out BenNambia http://www.benbikes.org.za/namibia/ too. Aaron Weiler built some ambulances out there a while back.
Hello! I'd love to see the designs for the two seaters. My NGO is looking for a rustic "ambulance" solution for home health care workers in small villages in Zambia and the Congo. We're also attempting a stationary bike generator project to charge cell phones for income generating projects in Zambia, if anyone has any information about this sort of thing.THANKS!Michelle MahlikHealthEd Connectfor more information visit Healthedconnect.org--On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Angelo Coletta <summitcyclingcenter@yahoo.com> wrote:

we have new designs for 3-wheel 2-seaters using kids' huffys. several
styles of trailers, long johns, and also a pedal bus- greatly utilizing
old bike frames. Free Cycles is keeping our 2,000 ft community shop, and
expanding with a 6,000 sq ft fabrication warehouse 3 doors down.
please do not recycle any frames. we will take them. broken or bent.
just not rust. or you keep them, save them, and re-use!
if you cannot re-use, we can figure a way to get them here- hot air
balloon, steam ship, e-train, somehow.
