Lohia Auto has launched its new electric rickshaw, Narain iCE, to further the cause of sustainable mobility across India. This new Electric 3 Wheeler is designed to provide urban commuters with a green mode of transport, highlighting Lohia's commitment to eco-friendly innovations.
One of the leading electric three-wheeler manufacturers, Lohia Auto, has been one of the most driven brands in terms of electric mobility across India. The Narain iCE Passenger electric rickshaw has now been introduced. It is fully manufactured in India, supporting the Indian government's vision of cleaner and more sustainable transportation options.
The Narain iCE electric rickshaw by Lohia is designed for environmentally conscious consumers. It will ensure dependable and efficient urban/semi-urban transport. With its eco-friendly concept and innovative features, this model can lessen the carbon footprint of Indian cities.
Inbuilt into the Narain iCE rickshaw are various up-to-date features that have greatly improved the experience and performance of the vehicle. This has energy-efficient LED lights that provide better lighting while using less energy. With this, it would be just perfect for urban use, where efficiency and safety are paramount.
The vehicle's sleek, modern look is enhanced by its unique butterfly design, giving it a stylish appearance on the road. For added convenience and security, the Narain iCE also features keyless entry, making it easier for drivers to operate.
The Lohia Narain iCE's prominent features are its powerful and efficient battery options. It runs on a 48V, liquid-activated battery with a capacity of 130 Ah, which gives a driving range of 80-90 kilometres on a single charge. This makes it practical for moving passengers around in busy urban and semi-urban areas.
It offers two kinds of batteries for different needs: lead-acid and lithium-ion. The lead-acid battery has 130, 135, and 150 Ah capacity options, while the lithium-ion battery has 51.2V and 105Ah capacity options. Their charging times are different; a lithium battery takes four hours to charge, and a lead-acid one takes seven to eight hours.
This model comes with a 1200 W BLDC (brushless direct current) motor, which runs smoothly and efficiently on the road. It also has alloy wheels and 3.75 R12, 4PR tyres, which ensure good grip and, therefore, better stability and safety.
Lohia has placed a strong emphasis on safety with the Narain iCE rickshaw. The vehicle has ABS, which increases control over the vehicle and avoids skidding in the event of sudden stops. The robust structure of the chassis enhances overall durability and provides safety to the passengers.
On comfort, the rickshaw's ergonomic design and adjustable seating ensure a smooth ride for both driver and passengers. The riding comfort of this vehicle has been improved significantly with shock-absorbing suspension, making it quite suitable for daily commutes.
