Optimised for Traffic

Traditional Auto Rickshaws are highly polluting and inefficient. Their engines are at idle most of the time and rarely reach economical speeds. At these low speeds (even up to 30 or 40kph) the ElectriCABs electric motor will run silently, efficiently and with zero emissions, for a pleasant and environment friendly journey.

 

Virtually Silent

The rear wheels of the EletriCAB are powered by individual hub motors. This direct drive system is virtually silent so, in normal battery operated use, the ElectriCAB offers a very quiet ride.

 

Zero Emissions

In normal, battery operated use; the ElectriCAB emits no harmful fumes. It is clean and emission free, making it a welcome alternative to polluting petrol only vehicles.

 

Up to Six Passengers

The ElectriCAB can comfortably bear a payload of up to 600Kg. Up to three passengers may travel with maximum leg room and baggage space or, using compact fold down seats, up to six passengers can travel in relative comfort.
