New Spy Shots Capture Raahi E-Rickshaw in Bengaluru
It could have been inferred from the recent spy shots of Ola Raahi e-rickshaw that its exterior design resembles the concepts closest to its patent designs and style, which is sleek. Notably, while the test version had no doors for the driver’s cabin, future versions may have a closed cabin with air conditioning. It appears that Ola wants to turn Raahi into one of the sleekest rickshaws you can get with projector LED headlights, square LED DRLs, and a single-blade windshield wiper.
Other features
Judging from its appearance the Ola Raahi e-rickshaw is anticipated to have a removable and swappable battery, something that would prove very beneficial in the commercial field. Details of the powertrain are still being kept under the wraps, however, the opportunity to get the most out of each day makes Raahi a worthy addition to the segment with Indian electric vehicles market in its focus.
