YC Electric Yatri Super

The YC Electric Yatri Super is a passenger e-rickshaw from YC Electric (Yatri Electric Vehicle), built for last-mile passenger transport in Indian cities. It is an L3M low-speed passenger carrier with a simple, low-maintenance electric drivetrain, priced between Rs 1.69 lakh and Rs 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom) in a single 4-Seater/Electric variant.

Battery and Range

A 2.0 kWh (41.7 Ah, 48V) lithium-ion battery delivers a listed range of 75 km and a claimed 75-90 km on a single charge. Recharging takes roughly 5-7 hours from a standard AC outlet, and there is no DC fast-charge option, so overnight charging is the norm.

Performance and Driving

A 1.5 kW BLDC motor produces 2 hp with a top speed of 25 km/h, appropriate for its low-speed passenger carrier class. An automatic driveline with 1 forward and 1 reverse gear keeps operation simple, and a 3x3 axle layout with drum brakes front and rear covers the basics.

Dimensions and Practicality

Measuring 2780 mm long, 995 mm wide and 1755 mm tall on a 1668 mm wheelbase with 150 mm ground clearance, the Yatri Super seats the driver plus four passengers (D+4) with a payload capacity of 380 kg against a 693 kg gross vehicle weight. A digital instrument cluster and hydraulic front suspension are standard.

Who Should Buy It

The Yatri Super suits commercial e-rickshaw operators running daily intra-city passenger routes at a low upfront price. Buyers should weigh the 25 km/h top speed and AC-only 5-7 hour charging against the low running cost and D+4 passenger capacity before committing.
