Bajaj Riki C40 is a battery-powered three-wheeler designed for intra-city cargo and last-mile delivery needs. It features a 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery and claims a certified range of up to 164 km on a full charge, making it suitable for daily urban logistics. Its sturdy monocoque build and long loading deck are optimised for heavy loads and frequent deliveries. The ground clearance of 170 mm and compact overall dimensions help it navigate congested lanes with ease. For fleet owners and small-business operators, Riki C40 presents a modern, low-running-cost solution for routine city deliveries. In the expanding EV three-wheeler segment, it stands as a strong cargo-focused option.

Performance & Engine

Riki C40 runs on a PMSM electric motor that produces 1.99 kW power and 25 Nm torque. It comes with a 2-speed automatic gearbox, which makes driving easier in city traffic with frequent start-stop movement. The top speed is around 25 km/h, which is adequate for cargo delivery cycles within city limits. Gradeability is rated at 29.3%, helping the vehicle climb slopes and tackle city flyovers even under load. Its 5.4 kWh battery supports a full day’s delivery operations on a single charge, making it cost-effective for small and mid-size transport operators.

Capacity & Comfort

Riki C40 is designed with a long loading deck and a durable monocoque chassis to support heavy cargo cycles. Its suspension setup includes semi-trailing arms with coil springs and an anti-roll bar, offering stability while carrying loads. Tubeless 120/80 R12 tyres help absorb regular city road bumps and uneven surfaces. Inside, the vehicle offers features like a digital instrument cluster, comfortable seat, glovebox, bottle holder, and mobile charging port, enhancing daily usability. With 170 mm ground clearance and compact body dimensions, it is well-suited for congested urban roads and tight delivery lanes.

Durability & Maintenance

The monocoque chassis provides structural strength, supporting frequent load-unload cycles and protecting the vehicle from daily wear. Hydraulic drum brakes combined with regenerative braking reduce brake wear and improve long-term reliability. Its battery pack comes with an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, adding protection during rainy seasons or dusty urban routes. Bajaj offers a warranty of 3 years or 60,000 km, which gives additional assurance to cargo business owners. As an EV, it has fewer moving parts compared to diesel or petrol cargo three-wheelers, resulting in lower maintenance needs and reduced downtime.

Fuel Efficiency & Emissions

Being fully electric, Riki C40 produces zero emissions, making it a clean mobility option for cities with pollution concerns. Its running cost per kilometre is significantly lower than petrol or diesel three-wheelers due to cheaper electricity and reduced mechanical wear. The certified 164 km range helps complete full shift cycles without mid-day charging. The off-board charger takes approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to charge the vehicle from zero to full. This combination of range and efficiency makes it a practical choice for logistics operators looking to cut running costs.

Competitors

The main competitors for the Riki C40 are electric cargo three-wheelers offered by various organised and unorganised players. Many local or unbranded electric loaders still use lead-acid batteries, whereas Riki C40 uses a lithium-ion battery with better performance and reliability. Within Bajaj’s own EV lineup, there are passenger-focused models, showing the brand’s broader direction in electric three-wheelers. Compared to smaller EV players, Riki C40 stands out for its build quality, service network support, and strong brand trust — all crucial for commercial buyers.
