Bajaj Riki C40 05 E Cart

The Bajaj Riki C40 05 E Cart (Riki C4005) is an L3-category electric cargo three-wheeler built for last-mile urban delivery, e-commerce, FMCG, parcel, beverage and waste-management operations. It pairs a monocoque chassis with a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery for a certified 164 km range.

Price & Variants

Priced from ₹2.01 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi) in a single Electric/Loader variant. Pricing is consistent across India, with the final on-road price varying only with local insurance and registration.

Range & Charging

A 5.4 kWh Li-ion battery (IP67 rated) delivers a certified range of 164 km. The off-board 1500 W external charger takes about 3 hours 45 minutes for a full charge, minimising downtime between shifts.

Performance & Capability

The PMSM motor produces 1.99 kW of rated power and 25 Nm of torque through a 2-speed automatic (E-TEC) gearbox with a top speed of 25 km/h. A 29.3% gradeability and hill-hold assist handle inclines and rollbacks confidently, supported by hydraulic drum brakes and regenerative braking.

Dimensions & Practicality

Measuring 2795 mm long, 995 mm wide and 1700 mm tall on a 2065 mm wheelbase with 170 mm ground clearance, the Riki C4005 carries a 400 kg payload on its deck body. Independent suspension and 120/80 R12 tubeless tyres keep the ride stable under load.

Who Should Buy It

The Riki C4005 suits delivery operators and small businesses running frequent, load-based city routes who want low running costs, a fast-enough recharge and a 3-year or 60,000 km warranty. Its 25 km/h top speed and single-seat cabin are best kept to intracity delivery rather than long runs.
