Lotus Ministry Trust has announced a solar-powered scooter investment model that sets aside 5 to 20 percent of net profits for relief work. Investors and manufacturers can fund meals, blankets, and education in northern Bangladesh.

San Francisco, United States, October 20, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Lotus Ministry Trust recently announced an investment and profit-sharing opportunity built around American-made solar-powered scooters, linking clean transport production to humanitarian relief in northern Bangladesh. Under the model, investors and manufacturing partners commit a set share of scooter profits to the organization’s food, clothing, and education programs.

The newly announced investment model available through Lotus Ministry Trust sets aside a defined percentage of net profit per unit, typically between 5 and 20 percent, and contractually commits it to the humanitarian partner before revenue is recognized. Funds are transferred at least quarterly into Lotus Ministry Trust’s field operations budget. Impact reporting on meals delivered, blankets distributed, and families served then flows back to the production partner, which gives investors and buyers a documented record of where the money went. The approach aligns with a report from the International Rescue Committee on multi-year flexible funding, which found that multi-year funding can lead to notable cost-efficiency gains and can make aid program delivery more effective through predictable funding sources.
Lotus Ministry Trust's team points to several revenue streams for solar-powered scooter production beyond direct unit sales. These include service contracts, accessory sales, and fleet partnerships with urban delivery companies and campus mobility programs. They also highlight advantages of domestic production, such as lower shipping costs, faster quality control cycles, and access to supply chain incentives under federal clean energy policy.

On the environmental side, the organization frames the solar-powered scooter as a practical option for renewable energy commuting and carbon footprint reduction. The team says built-in photovoltaic charging extends battery range and reduces how often riders need to plug into the grid, which lowers lifetime operating costs for owners.
Lotus Ministry Trust was founded by inventor Jeffrey Dunan, whose solar-powered motorcycle was featured in a 1979 newspaper article. Since 2021, the organization has delivered vegetarian meals, warm clothing, blankets, and educational resources to remote villages in northern Bangladesh. Distribution is carried out by trained local volunteer teams, with the Rajshahi division at the core of its field operations.
