e-rickshaw
Battery-powered passenger vehicle
An e-rickshaw is a battery-powered three-wheeled vehicle used for short-distance passenger transport, common in South Asia.
It's a modern successor to the cycle rickshaw—quieter, faster, and less physically demanding on the driver.
E-rickshaws typically carry two to four passengers and operate as informal taxis in urban areas: We took an e-rickshaw from the market to the hotel.
