Godawari eBLU Rozee E-Auto L5M

The Godawari eBLU Rozee E-Auto L5M is a high-speed passenger carrier auto-rickshaw (L5M category) from Godawari Electric Motors. It seats a driver plus three passengers (D+3), is available across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad at a published on-road price from Rs 3.38 lakh, and is aimed at city commuting and short last-mile passenger runs rather than long-distance work.

Range and charging

A 10 kWh lithium-ion battery pack (51.2V) powers the eBLU Rozee-E Auto L5M, delivering a claimed range of 130 km on a full charge. Full charging takes about 6 hours 30 minutes from the standard charger, which fits an overnight top-up pattern for a daily city route. There is no DC fast-charging provision published for this class of e-auto, so operators should plan around home or depot charging between shifts.

Performance and payload

The motor produces 8 kW of power and 36 Nm of torque, with a 50 km/h top speed and 7% gradeability, which is adequate for flat city roads and moderate inclines. With a 782 kg gross vehicle weight and 462 kg kerb weight, the usable carrying capacity works out to roughly 320 kg including passengers and luggage. The chassis rides on a 2,110 mm wheelbase with 235 mm of ground clearance, front leading-arm coil springs, rear trailing-arm coil springs, hydraulic drum brakes and 3.75x12 tyres. A digital instrument cluster comes standard; the cabin is open with a handle-bar steering layout and no air-conditioning.

Who should buy it

The eBLU Rozee-E Auto L5M suits e-auto operators and small fleet buyers who run predictable intra-city passenger routes, carry four people, and can charge overnight. The 130 km range and 6.5-hour charge time are honest limits for a single-shift day, and the 3.38 lakh on-road entry point keeps acquisition costs low against petrol autos. Buyers covering long highway stretches or running double shifts should confirm battery-swap or fast-charging options with a local Godawari dealer before committing.
