Becak Bergigi Ringankan Tukang Becak, Inovasi Sekelompok Mahasiswa UNY
JOGJA – Jika selama ini, untuk memacu kecepatan becak, hanya dengan satu gigi, maka saat ini di Jogja sedang dikembangkan becak dengan roda lebih satu gigi, layaknya sepeda gunung.
Becak dengan roba bergigi layaknya sepeda gunung itu merupakan hasil inovasi sekelompok mahasiswa Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) dalam rangka meningkatkan efektifitas dan efisiensi bagi tukang becak saat mengayuh becak tersebut.
Mereka adalah Azmi Wijayati, Tretya Ardyani, Susanti, dan Mariah Rihan Fasyir dari prodi kimia Fakultas MIPA UNY dan Subhan Nurkholis dari Prodi Pendidikan Teknik Otomotif Fakultas Teknik UNY. Mereka merancang penerapan roda gigi sepeda gunung pada becak.
“Kami berharap dengan aplikasi roda gigi ini bisa membantu kerja tukang becak dan semoga bisa menjadi ciri khas becak di Jogja,” kata Azmi.
Tretya Ardyani menambahkan, selama ini banyak limbah dari komponen sepeda gunung yang tidak terpakai dan tidak termanfaatkan. Kebanyakan orang hanya menjual rongsokan sepeda gunung kepada pemulung dengan harga yang relatif murah.
“Salah satu limbah dari komponen sepeda gunung yang kami manfaatkan adalah gear atau roda gigi. Sepeda gunung memiliki 18-27 gear pindah yang berguna untuk mengatur kecepatan dan kenyamanan dalam mengayuh pedalnya,” kata Tretya.
Humas FMIPA UNY Dedy Herdito MM mengatakan, dari kreatifitas mahasiswa tersebut membuahkan hasil dengan meraih dana DIKTI dalam Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa Bidang Penerapan Teknologi tahun 2011.(hes)

Jogja Rickshaw With Gear More Efficient
YOGYAKARTA - If, during this, to accelerate the speed rickshaw, with just one tooth, it is currently being developed in Jogja more wheel rickshaw with one tooth, like a mountain bike.
Pedicab by Roba toothed like a mountain bike is the result of innovation that a group of students, State University of Yogyakarta (UNY) in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency for the pedaling rickshaw pedicab at it.
They are Wijayati Azmi, Tretya Ardyani, Susan, and Mariah Rihan Fasyir of chemical Prodi UNY Faculty of Science and Education Prodi Subhan Nurkholis of Automotive Engineering Faculty of Engineering UNY. They designed the application of mountain bike gear on tricycles.
One of the rickshaw makers toothed, Wijayati Azmi said the modification rickshaw with the installation of such gear on a mountain bike that allows the rickshaw drivers can go on an uphill road with a load lighter paddles.
"We hope that with the application of this gear can help work the pedicab drivers and hopefully it could be a hallmark of pedicabs in Yogyakarta," said Azmi.

Tretya Ardyani added, as long as it wastes a lot of mountain bike components unused and not exploited. Most people only sell junk mountain bike to the scavengers with the relatively cheap price.
"One of the waste from the mountain bike components that we use is a gear or gear. 18-27 gear mountain bike has a useful move to regulate the speed and convenience in the pedal, "said Tretya.
PR, State UNY Dedy Herdito MM said, from the creativity of these students reach fruition with DIKTI funds in Student Creativity Program Field Application of Technology in 2011.
