India’s rapidly emerging
automobile player Lohia Auto Industries has launched a new series of battery
run e-Rickshaw by the name of Narain. The Narain E-Rickshaw is improved and
customised vehicles designed for Indian roads and commuting habits. To begin
with two models of e-Riksha Narain and Narain LC i.e. passenger and cargo have
launched. In later part of the year, there will be more products to be launched
under Narain series.
Commenting on the launch of
Narain e-rickshaws, Ayush Lohia, CEO, Lohia Auto Industries said, “Narain is a
unique product designed by Indians for India with many additional features to
offer a great product. We are already having two models of e-rikshaws by the
name of Humrahi and with the addition of Narain in our portfolio, now we have a
wide range of electric vehicle to offer”
Disclosing the key features of Narain, Lohia
said, “An E-Rickshaw is a specialised vehicle not an ordinary cycle-Rikshaw the
way people thinks. Hence, while we
designed Narain, we have kept in mind every aspect ie Indian Road conditions,
climate, riding style and commuting habits etc”
Powered by 1,950 watt motor and equipped with
higher battery capacity, “Narain” and “Narain Lc” are Eco-Friendly Electric
Rickshaws (e-rickshaws) for both passengers and cargo respectively. Bigger
wheel base of 3X17 with spokes provides highest ground clearance. The hydraulic
suspension ensures the passengers have smooth and silent riding in all rural,
urban, kaccha or pakka roads and streets. The another USP is, this e-Rikshaw works
on “Motor with chain drive Mechanism” a
technology which used in motorcycles, to ensure durability, long battery and
motor life. In addition to the good looks, attractive interiors, custom
fittings and exceptional finish, Narain can accommodate four passengers at a
time and are completely built in India. These rickshaws are low-maintenance,
easy to operate and cost much less than the traditional auto-rickshaws and
battery-pulled three-wheelers.
“With Narain e-Rikshaw, our
mission is to bring electric vehicle revolution to every nook and corner of the
country. Hence we are also working on to increase our dealer network. Narain is
coming with 2 year warranty to ensure a secure ownership and livelihood. Lohia
Auto has also become the only company to offer 2 years warranty on electric rickshaws,”
added Lohia
Lohia said, the cheap imported
and spurious products are available at the every nook and corner, but in long
run they are proved to be honey trap. They might come cheap but the higher
running cost, non availability of spare parts and reliable service centres make
these product 3 times more expensive than a certified trusted Indian E-Rickshaw
like Lohia Narain
Part of the Rs 630 crore Lohia
Global, Lohia Auto is shaping up as the fastest growing automobile player in
India. The company has recently ventured out in commercial vehicle segment with
the launch of diesel run 3 wheelers both passenger and cargo models.
