Vani Moto ZoomRoo Deluxe Blue Auto

The Vani Moto ZoomRoo Deluxe Blue Auto is a battery-electric auto rickshaw built for last-mile passenger movement in Indian cities. It is a low-speed L3M passenger carrier that comes in a single 3 Seater/Electric variant, listed at a uniform ₹1.90 Lakh (ex-showroom) across the country. Running on a 2 hp DC motor and a 130 Ah lithium-ion battery, it is aimed at fleet operators and individual drivers who want a zero-tailpipe, low-maintenance vehicle for short city runs.

Range and charging

Vani Moto claims a range of up to 140 km on a full charge for the Deluxe Blue Auto, with a top speed of 25 km/h, well suited to dense urban routes rather than highways. The 130 Ah battery takes 8 to 10 hours to top up fully from a standard socket, which fits overnight or day-time depot charging cycles. Because it is a low-speed passenger carrier, there is no fast-charging provision; the charging routine is simple plug-and-charge.

Performance and payload

The 2 hp DC motor pairs with an automatic transmission and a 1 Forward + 1 Reverse gearbox, and the rear axle uses drum brakes with MacPherson strut front and leaf spring rear suspension. Kerb weight is 450 kg against a gross vehicle weight of 800 kg, leaving roughly 350 kg of carrying capacity, and the three-wheel layout (3x3 axle configuration) keeps it nimble in congested lanes. It seats one driver plus three passengers.

Who should buy it

At ₹1.90 Lakh with a 140 km range and 350 kg of payload headroom, the ZoomRoo Deluxe Blue Auto is a strong candidate for e-rickshaw operators upgrading from lead-acid fleets, small fleet owners, and shared-mobility pilots running fixed commuter routes. It is not a cargo or highway vehicle, city passenger duty is its home.
