India’s electric mobility sector is growing. With rising fuel prices and demand for clean transport, companies are shifting focus. Atul Auto joins the movement with the launch of its Atul Rik EV 2025 — a purpose-built electric passenger rickshaw designed for urban mobility.
Drivers need vehicles they can trust. The Rik EV offers a 120 km range, powered by a durable lithium-ion battery. It charges fully in 6–7 hours. With fast charging, 80% power returns in under 2 hours. That means less waiting and more driving.
This EV rickshaw works well for short-haul trips, ride-sharing, and city commutes. The battery management system keeps performance steady, even with frequent stops. Whether you're carrying passengers or parcels, the electric 3-wheeler keeps running through a full day.
The Rik EV is built for business. With a price expected under ₹2 lakh, it's placed firmly in the affordable electric rickshaw market. Running costs are low. Maintenance is simple. Fuel? Not needed.
With FAME II subsidies and state-level EV policies, the overall cost drops even more. That’s why it appeals to fleet owners, local transporters, and first-time buyers. It meets the growing demand for low-cost EV rickshaws in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.
India’s roads can be tough. But the Rik EV handles them well. It’s light but strong. Its 3W frame gives balance. The cabin offers legroom, airflow, and comfortable seats.
The electric drivetrain gives instant torque, which is useful in traffic. The turning radius is tight, helping in narrow lanes. As a commercial electric vehicle, it’s designed for crowded routes and busy days.
1. How long does an electric rickshaw battery last?
Most batteries last 1.5 to 3 years, with lithium-ion options offering better lifespan and performance than lead-acid types.
2. What is the charging cost of an electric rickshaw?
A full charge costs around ₹30–₹60, depending on battery size and power rates. Per km cost is usually under ₹0.50.
3. Do electric 3-wheelers get government subsidies?
Yes. Under FAME II, buyers get purchase subsidies, GST benefits, and sometimes road tax waivers.
4. How is an e-rickshaw different from an electric auto?
E-rickshaws are lighter, slower, and for short trips. Electric autos are stronger, faster, and ideal for urban routes.
The Atul Rik EV 2025 isn’t just another rickshaw. It’s a step forward in India’s green mobility shift. For drivers, it's practical. For cities, it’s clean. And for the industry, it’s a reminder — electric can be both smart and simple.
