    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied In Jammu Ahead Of Launch

    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied by Jayant KerniBajaj Auto is gearing up to introduce a new, more affordable electric rickshaw aimed at countering the wave of low-cost, unbranded, and imported electric three-wheelers currently dominating the market. After filing a design patent for this new EV in March 2025, the first camouflaged test mule has now been spied on public roads near Jammu, suggesting that launch preparations are gaining momentum.
    Bajaj’s Answer to Low-Cost E-Rickshaws
    Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Jayant Kerni for sharing the exclusive spy shots. The heavily camouflaged prototype closely resembles the patent images seen earlier, confirming Bajaj’s focus on a simple, spacious, and cost-effective design. The rickshaw carries a boxy silhouette, optimizing interior space for passengers — a smart move to appeal to operators looking to maximize trip revenues.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    Up front, the prototype sports basic circular headlights and a large windscreen, prioritizing visibility. On the inside, the flat seats and minimalistic cabin highlight Bajaj’s focus on practicality and ease of production, keeping costs in check. Despite the cost-cutting, it’s expected that Bajaj will maintain its high standards of build quality, battery reliability, and safety – key concerns with many of the cheaper, unbranded rivals.
    Bajaj Patents New Electric 3 Wheeler
    Focus on Affordability, Safety, and Reliability
    Unlike many Chinese-imported kits flooding the segment, Bajaj’s upcoming rickshaw will likely be equipped with a better-tested battery pack, promising longer range, faster charging, and an overall longer life cycle. It is expected to offer benefits like roadside assistance, warranties for both vehicle and battery, and easier access to service networks — advantages that many unbranded options cannot match.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    While specific technical details remain under wraps, the new affordable Bajaj electric rickshaw could borrow lessons from the recently launched Bajaj GOGO electric rickshaw, which boasts a best-in-class 251 km range. Similar strengths could make Bajaj’s upcoming product an attractive option for fleet operators and individual owners alike.
    Cheaper Bajaj Electric Rickshaw Spied
    Launch Timeline
    Bajaj’s entry in the lower-cost electric rickshaw segment will surely heat up competition and offer buyers a trusted alternative to the existing unorganized market. An official announcement regarding its launch could follow soon, given that road testing has already begun. Stay tuned for more updates as Bajaj’s budget electric three-wheeler inches closer to production!

The company is a leader in commercial electric vehicles spanning over 3W category and more recently, 4W category as well, with the launch of Mahindra Zeo with BaaS pricing.
    The company is stoked to celebrate market dominance as MLMML emerged as India’s No.1 commercial electric vehicle manufacturer for the fourth consecutive year. Mahindra Last Mile Mobility was the leader in this segment in FY22, FY23, FY24 and now, FY25. Firmly grasping this segment in its hand while facing stiff competition from rival brands.
    Mahindra Commercial EVs
    In the commercial EV space, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited operates a successful portfolio consisting of electric 3W (Treo, Treo Yaari, e-Alfa Plus, e-Alfa Cargo, Zor Grand and Treo Zor) along with the recently launched electric 4W (Zeo).?? Treo has been the bread and butter vehicle for MLMML.
    Mahindra Treo ZOR EVs
    Treo lineup has achieved quite a few spectacular feats. From celebrating 1,000 unit sales milestone of Treo in April 2021, Treo has now surpassed 1 lakh unit sales milestone as well. MLMML remains the only electric commercial vehicle manufacturer in India to sell over 2 lakh commercial EVs.
    For the fourth consecutive year, Mahindra has maintained leadership in commercial EV space. The company maintains 37.3% market share in L5 category and is among the major driving forces behind the success of this segment.

    Electric Force Traveller Spied Testing Undisguised Ahead Of Launch

    Electric Force Traveller SpiedWe have gotten our hands on the first ever spy shots of electric Force Traveller. This test mule was spied testing near Pune city in Maharashtra by automotive enthusiast Anvay Sheolikar. These spy show an Electric Zero Emissions version of Force’s bread and butter, Traveller van, without any camouflage.
    Electric Force Traveller Spied Testing
    Force Motors has been the market leader where commercial vans are concerned. The company has become synonymous with van market in India and has even moved into premium segments with Urbania. The company is further expanding its portfolio with electric offerings under the Traveller umbrella.
    Electric Force Traveller Spied
    It is interesting to see Force moving ahead with electric vans under Traveller brand and not their new and flagship Urabania brand. This could be because of the massive brand recall that Traveller has which Urbania is yet to achieve. This is not just in India, but Force Traveller is rather popular globally in all the markets Force Motors operates.
    Force Motors had showcased this vehicle at Auto Expo 2020 and it looks almost unchanged. Only changes we can see is in its graphics on side body panels, which look less like a concept and more like a production vehicle. Considering that it looks similar to ICE Traveller, Force Motors has not bothered to camouflage it.
    Electric Force Traveller Spied
    We can see stuck glass on all sides, indicating that it is an air conditioned vehicle. Stuck glass also eliminates rattling of windows and reduces outside noises, which is a plus. We can see entrance is behind the front passenger seat. It protrudes slightly outward, similar to what was showcased at Auto Expo 2020.
    What to expect?
    At Auto Expo 2020, some specs of this vehicle were revealed which could hold true with this vehicle. Max range to be expected with this 160 km on a single charge and charging time can be around 5 hours. Which makes it an intra city commute vehicle. The door was not automated on the vehicle showcased at Auto Expo 2020, which may be changed with this model.
    Electric Force Traveller Spied
    On the inside, there was seating for 13+D with 6 of these seats being side facing along with space in the middle for 6 passengers to stand (13+6+D). There was also a screen on the inside which could be used to show the name of the stop and other paraphernalia. Multiple AC vents, speaker and provision for more speakers and an emergency exit are some of the notable features.
    Where specs are concerned, it is expected to get a dead axle at the front and a live one at the rear, all-four disc brakes, semi-elliptical leaf spring suspension at all four corners, mechanical handbrake, 215/75-R15 tubeless radial tyres and a peak power of 120 kW (161 bhp). Launch is likely soon. More
