The Hitech Ht Queen is a low-speed passenger electric rickshaw built for last-mile commuter runs in Indian towns and cities. It combines a brushless motor with a 48V battery pack and a four-passenger cabin.

Battery and range

The Ht Queen runs on a 48V battery available in 110 Ah or 130 Ah options (about 5.3-6.2 kWh), delivering a claimed range of around 100-120 km on a full charge. Recharging takes about 5 hours from a standard socket.

Motor and performance

A brushless motor drives the rear wheel, with top speed capped at 25 km/h for the L3M low-speed passenger class. An automatic transmission with a 1-forward, 1-reverse gearbox keeps operation simple.

Comfort and ride

Leaf spring front and rear suspension smooths out uneven roads, while a 180 mm ground clearance and a 2400 mm turning radius help it negotiate narrow streets.
