Electric Three Wheelers (E–Three Wheelers) are small vehicles, with three
wheels and use electric power from batteries to run. They use an electric
motor as engine which draws electric power from the rechargeable batteries
installed in the wheeler body. These battery operated vehicles are perfect
for small distant transport, both cargo and people; they are perfect for
running on narrow streets because of their small size. But the biggest
reason for their popularity is low operating cost and zero pollution. They
are like normal three wheeler but powered by electric motor instead of
petrol or diesel motor. They are best for pollution free, environmental
friendly transport system in short distances. Actually they are not capable
of running long distance.

Electric Three Wheelers are now one of the preferred modes of transport in
streets because of its low maintenance cost, low fuel cost, eco-friendly, no
noise pollution, easy to drive and last but not the least livelihood,
Electric Three Wheeler is a boon to the common Man. Without putting in much
physical efforts and without investing much amount of money, the earning is
quite good for an Electric Three Wheeler driver and hence it is an important
means of livelihood for many.

These Electric Three Wheelers consist of 3 wheels with a differential
mechanism at rear wheels. Basically these vehicles have a mild steel tubular
chassis. The motor is brushless DC motor manufactured mostly in India and
China. The electrical system used in Indian version is 48V DC can run 90-100
km/full charge. Basic seating capacity is driver plus 4 passengers

These vehicles are now started using in transporting light weight goods as
e-loader. Hence there are lots of opportunities of income.

There are two types of e-rickshaw:

a) Electric Three Wheeler (Passenger)

b) Electric Three Wheeler (Cargo)

Electric Three Wheeler (Passenger)

“E-three wheeler” means a special purpose battery operated vehicle having
three wheels and intended to provide last mile connectivity for transport of
passengers for hire

Battery-run three wheeler could be a low-emitter complementary transport for
the low-income people, who suffer most from a lack of transport facility, if
introduced in a systematic manner according to experts.

The electric automobile did not easily develop into a viable means of
transportation. Research waned from 1920-1960 until environmental issues of
pollution and diminishing natural resources reawakened the need of a more
environmentally friendly means of transportation. Technologies that support
a reliable battery and the weight of the needed number of batteries elevated
the price of making an electric vehicle.In 1837, Robert Davidson of Scotland
appears to have been the builder of the first electric car, but it wasn’t
until the 1890s that electric cars were manufactured and sold in Europe and
America. During the late 1890s, United States roads were populated by more
electric automobiles than those with internal combustion engines.

Electric Three Wheeler is the most convenient and safe mode of local
transportation of two or four passengers. Electric Three Wheeler is commonly
available in India and other parts under developed & developing countries
for hiring on small rentals for limited time. Apart from E-Three Wheeler,
company will also make Electric Three Wheeler which can carry weight up to
300 Kgs.

Electric Three Wheeler drivers will obtain license through which he/she can
drive Electric Three Wheeler in city. The entire assembly and fabrication
work for mfg. Electric Three Wheeler performed in highly automatic plants.

The components are made as per standard specifications and hence permit 100%
inters changeability and the chassis is fabricated accordingly keeping the
optimum ground clearance and other factors in view.

Components are available in ready to use surface conditions. Automatic
assembly-fixtures, working tools and testing equipments cover the range of
installations. Normally the Electric Three Wheeler assembly unit with
installed capacity around one lacks Nos. p.a., falls in a medium scale
industry category. But a SSI-Unit can also be started with limited
facilities like:-

Electric Three Wheeler are three wheel battery operated vehicles, which are
considered as an upgrade to conventional Electric Three Wheeler, and
economically better than auto Electric Three Wheeler and other fuel
variants, these Electric Three Wheeler, since are battery powered have zero
emission, and is often argued to be much better than other Electric Three
Wheeler as they are considered almost pollution free. E Three Wheelers are
now fairly popular amongst Indian three wheeler drivers and has created new
opportunities for people, as they require minimum investment to earn a
living. They offer huge returns in less time, and are easy to operate and
have low maintenance and running cost. A lot of variants are available these
days, most of them started as low quality products and were imported from
China. These days Indian E Three wheelers have been developed offering a
higher quality and better services at an equivalent cost. Electric Three
Wheeler can provide a decent income since the battery charging cost is far
lower than any other fuel, new material such as fiberglass has been
introduced in them, since the material provides high strength, durability
and lighter than metals.

E–Three wheelers have been becoming more popular in most parts of the globe
since 2008. In India, e – three wheelers began to gain popularity since
2011.

As these Electric Three Wheelers faced a ban by the Indian government in the
capital city of Delhi, the increase in their number failed. But, still they
are widely used in most parts of the country.
On 8 October, 2014, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had notified
the rules to regulate the Electric Three Wheelers by making important
amendments under the Motor Vehicles Rules of 1989. In March 2015, the
Parliament passed the amendments and finally, legalized the use of Electric
Three Wheeler.

Recently, the transport department decided to introduce these Electric Three
Wheeler in four major cities of Maharashtra – Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and
Nashik.

Now, that these new age vehicles will be available on the streets soon,
let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of e-Electric Three
Wheeler.

Electric Three Wheelers are now one of the preferred modes of transport in
streets because of its low maintenance cost, low fuel cost, Eco-friendly, no
noise pollution, easy to drive and last but not the least livelihood,
Electric Three Wheeler is a boon to the common man. Without putting in much
