Speaking in an interview with TikTok street interviewer Steve, known for his On The Move With Steve series, the dealer shared details about the new tricycle and why he believes it could become useful in Ghana despite public hesitation.
According to him, the electric tricycle was imported directly from China as part of efforts to introduce a cleaner and more cost-effective means of transport into the system.
He explained that, unlike the regular Pragya and other mechanical tricycles many people are used to, this version does not require fuel or engine oil.
“This tricycle is electric. It does not require fuel or oil. Just charge and go.”
He said while speaking about the vehicle.
The dealer admitted that getting people to fully accept it may take some time since the regular petrol-powered versions are already common and familiar on Ghanaian roads.
However, he believes that with proper awareness and visibility, more people will gradually appreciate its benefits.

He disclosed that the electric Pragya is currently priced at GH¢60,000.
Touching on safety, the dealer confidently rated the tricycle highly, stressing that it is more secure than the usual open-sided versions commonly used for commercial transport.
He explained that the enclosed structure and side doors make it safer for passengers, especially children, who are often more vulnerable in ordinary tricycles.

“With the safety measures, I will give this one 100% because the doors are enclosed,” he said. “The normal Pragya can be dangerous because passengers can easily fall, but with this one, kids and even adults should be very safe.”
Price per charge of the electric tricycle
He also highlighted its running cost as one of its biggest advantages.
According to him, one full charge costs roughly GH₵7, and even if the vehicle is charged twice a day, the cost may remain around GH₵4 to GH₵20 daily, which could help users save more money over time.
He added that one full charge can last for about six hours, and it also comes with a reserve motor system that can be switched on when the battery runs low.
For many Ghanaians, the idea may still feel new, but the electric Pragya is already opening fresh conversations about the future of transport.
