Indo Wagen Q8 Smart

Indo Wagen Q8 Smart is a 4-seater electric passenger rickshaw from Indo Wagen, built for city and short-distance commercial runs. It is a low-speed L3M category vehicle with a top speed of 25 km/h.

Price and Variants

It is offered as a single 4 Seater/Electric variant at Rs 1.2 lakh (ex-showroom).

Battery and Range

A 48 V / 5.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides the range. The claimed range is 80 to 100 km per charge, with a full top-up taking about 8 to 10 hours on a standard home socket, which suits an overnight charging routine.

Motor and Performance

A 1000 W motor drives the rear wheels to a top speed of 25 km/h. A differential transmission with a single forward and reverse gear and drum brakes keep the powertrain simple and cheap to maintain.

Seating and Load

The cabin seats one driver plus four passengers. A chassis-with-cabin body with day-cabin bodywork, hydraulic shock absorbers front and rear and 207 mm ground clearance make it comfortable on uneven city roads. It measures 2606 mm long, 998 mm wide and 1720 mm tall.

Running Costs and Ownership

At 80 to 100 km per charge and a low per-km electricity cost, the Indo Wagen Q8 Smart is a budget workhorse for metro feeders, short shuttle routes and school runs. Spare parts and dealer support are widely available through the Indo Wagen network across India.
