So gear up and let Raahii become your perfect companion to breeze through the roads.
According to Hero Electric, the key differences on Raahii are its upgrades and refinements from the existing electric rickshaws. They are listed as follows:
Welding: Current electric rickshaws use welding at their joints such as arm rests, step through area and the roof which are poorly executed and result in easy disintegration and breakages. Raahii addresses this issue by using nut and bolt under cover with chassis and 3mm thick L-Plate Gussets at the joints resulting in a more reliable and strong body and safeguard the weld joints from rusting.
Paint & Rust: The paint quality used by the existing e-rickshaw is substandard and result in the rusting of the vehicle. Raahii uses a superior double coat painting on the surface (25-30 microns thick), under chassis parts and front & rear side of wheels giving it extended life and improved quality. The under body is covered in Epoxy Resin which does not allow for rusting.
Other areas of improvement are use of military grade fasteners to avoid rusting and the nuts & bolts which are exposed on the current e-rickshaw have been redesigned to be fixed inside the body covers to keep its exposure to the environment a minimum.
Space: The legroom provided for the driver and passenger in the Raahii is substantially larger and the highest space on any electric rickshaw present on Indian roads making for a more comfortable and spacious ride.
