Dawki Velocitti

The Dawki Velocitti is an electric 3-seater auto rickshaw built for short-haul passenger duty on Indian roads. It runs on a 4 kW electric motor producing 80 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 50 km/h, and is sold as a fully built vehicle on a chassis-with-cabin layout. TrucksDekho lists the price as coming soon, so expect a commercial quotation from a Dawki dealer once pricing is announced.

Range and charging

The Velocitti claims a driving range of 192 km on a full charge under standard driving conditions, which is well above what most electric auto rickshaws offer. Charging is conventional and unhurried: a full top-up takes around 4 hours, which suits overnight or mid-day depot charging rather than quick top-ups between shifts.

Performance and payload

With 4 kW of power and 80 Nm of torque, the Velocitti is tuned for urban and semi-urban traffic rather than speed. It seats D+3 passengers plus the driver, and the 450 kg kerb weight keeps the vehicle light enough for steady performance under load. The 1,950 mm wheelbase and 3,500 mm turning radius make it easy to manoeuvre through narrow lanes, while the independent front and rear suspension smooths out broken city surfaces.

Who should buy it

The Velocitti suits passenger e-rickshaw operators who want a long single-charge range for multi-shift use, and fleet buyers who prioritise running cost over outright power. The 210 mm ground clearance handles modest speed breakers, and the fully built body option means it is road-ready from the dealership without third-party body work.
