Mini Metro E Rickshaw

Mini Metro is one of the most popular and fast-growing electric three-wheeler manufacturers in India. The Mini Metro E Rickshaw is a well-designed, efficient and capable electric three-wheeler passenger carrier offering a sustainable and economical package for last-mile connectivity in the Indian market, priced from Rs 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom).

Price & Variants

The Mini Metro E Rickshaw is offered as a single 4-Seater/Electric variant at Rs 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom), with pricing staying consistent across major cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. The final on-road cost varies by city once registration and local charges are added.

Battery & Range

The e-rickshaw is powered by a 1000 W BLDC motor paired to a 24-tube controller with a 130 Ah (48 V) Exide/Okaya battery offering 110 km of claimed range on a full load. A full charge takes 7-8 hours from a standard socket, so it is charged overnight between daily runs; there is no DC fast-charging option.

Performance

A BLDC motor with a differential transmission (1 forward + 1 reverse gear) drives a top speed of 22 km/h, suited to city and last-mile passenger runs. Drum brakes on all wheels handle stopping, and the 1 hp motor keeps running and maintenance costs low for daily commercial use.

Dimensions & Practicality

At 2650 x 970 x 1772 mm with a 2120 mm wheelbase, 180 mm ground clearance and a 2200 mm turning radius, the E Rickshaw seats 4 passengers plus the driver and has a gross vehicle weight of 500 kg. Suspension uses hydraulic shockers with spring at the front and leaf springs at the rear.

Features

Standard kit includes electric start, FM and music system, roof LED lights, motorized wiper and a carrier stepney with cover, along with a digital instrument cluster. Comfort extras such as AC, power steering and seat belts are not available.

Who Should Buy It

The Mini Metro E Rickshaw is built for operators and owner-drivers running short city passenger trips and last-mile connectivity where a low-speed, high-value three-wheeler earns its keep. The overnight 8-hour charge and 500 kg gross weight fit typical metro feeder routes, while the 22 km/h top speed keeps it firmly in the city.
