Terra Motors Kyoro L5

The Terra Motors Kyoro L5 (marketed as KYORO+) is a fully electric L5M high-speed passenger three-wheeler, built with Japanese engineering for Indian cities. It seats a driver plus three passengers (D+3), rides on a 2080 mm wheelbase with a 750 kg gross vehicle weight, and is offered in a single 2080/Electric variant. Ex-showroom pricing is on request at Terra dealerships, and the vehicle is eligible for government EV subsidies.

Range and charging

Powering the Kyoro L5 is an 11.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack running at 51.2 V, which delivers a claimed range of up to 200 km on a full charge, based on real-world driving simulations as mandated by ARAI. A full charge takes roughly 4-5 hours, which suits overnight depot or home charging for a daily auto operator. Terra Motors backs the battery with a 5-year or 1,20,000 km warranty, and the brand's Terra Finance arm offers schemes with up to 100% funding to lower the entry barrier.

Performance and payload

The Kyoro L5 is powered by an IP67-rated PMSM motor rated at 8 kW, with a top speed of 55 km/h and a quick launch from 0 to 28 km/h in about 5.6 seconds. A highly durable 2-speed gearbox with a clutch mechanism enables 22% gradeability, so slopes and flyovers are manageable even with a full load. The articulated trailing arm transmission, hydraulic drum brakes with parking brakes, and helical telescopic shock absorbers front and rear keep rides stable over uneven city roads. With a kerb weight of 450 kg against a 750 kg GVW, it carries roughly 300 kg of passengers and luggage. The dual-tone upholstery, digital instrument cluster showing battery, speed, range and trip data, handlebar steering and day cabin round out the driver package.

Who should buy it

The Kyoro L5 is built for city passenger operators, auto drivers and small fleet owners, who want a high-speed electric rickshaw with the range to work a full day and the top speed to keep up with urban traffic. Terra Motors claims daily savings of roughly ₹400-600 against CNG or diesel autos, which is what makes the EMI economics work for an owner-driver. Verify dealer and service-network coverage in your city before purchase, and confirm the on-road price at a Terra dealership since ex-showroom pricing is not published.
