Rickshaws are arguably one of the most popular means of transport in India, but they are extremely noisy, pollute the environment and the fares are always on the rise owing to higher running costs.
Terra, the Japanese company which unveiled three motorcycles at the expo earlier this year, plans to change that with its new electric three wheeler offering , the R6. The company says that it will launch the vehicle in 2015 in the Indian market.
Toru Tokushige, CEO and founder, Terra Motors said, "There is huge three wheeler market in Asia, for example in India. So we'll release the R6 with a strong durability and safety."
Measuring 2,950mm x 1,090mm x 1,800mm, the R6 can carry a total of seven occupants (six passengers and the driver) and can attain a maximum speed of 30kmph. The company claims a seven hour time for the battery to charge completely. An 80 per cent quick charge is said to take 2-3 hours. The company says that the R6 can pull tight 3.2 metre radius turn with a motorcycle-like handlebar.
