Horses and carriages used to carry tourists through the quaint streets of historic Cocoa Village, Fla. But the times, they are achangin’.

Next month, the Village’s tourism agency will replace the horses and buggies with solar-powered electric golf carts.

Volunteers will drive the carts and take tourists on tours through the village, highlighting some of the local businesses in the historic district of Cocoa, located about an hour from Orlando, Fla.

The new system, which will be dubbed the “solar rider,” will shuttle visitors from parking areas and is expected to breathe new life into the historic district by bringing visitors who might not come if they had to walk.

Tip money and donations are expected to be enough to maintain the small vehicles, which will otherwise cost almost nothing to run.
