🚀 Introduction: The Future Is Electric
In 2025, transport businesses are undergoing a major transformation — and at the center of this shift is the electric rickshaw fleet. As fuel costs soar and environmental concerns rise, more entrepreneurs and fleet owners are turning to electric mobility as a cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable solution.
An electric rickshaw fleet not only cuts down operational expenses but also increases profit margins while supporting India’s push toward green mobility. If you’re in the transport business, now is the time to switch.
⚡ 1. Low Operational Costs & High ROI
One of the biggest advantages of investing in an electric rickshaw fleet is drastically lower running costs.
- No fuel expenses
- Minimal maintenance
- Affordable batteries with long life cycles
Example: A diesel rickshaw can cost ₹200–300 per day in fuel, while an electric rickshaw costs as little as ₹30–40 for charging. Multiply this saving across 10–20 rickshaws and you see the difference.
🌱 2. Environmentally Responsible Choice
Running a transport business with electric rickshaws means you’re reducing carbon emissions. With zero tailpipe emissions, e-rickshaws help you build a green, sustainable brand — a great image boost for companies that want to stand out.
✅ According to NITI Aayog, India aims for 80% electrification of 3-wheelers by 2030.
🛠️ 3. Easy Maintenance & Fewer Breakdowns
Electric rickshaws have fewer moving parts than fuel-based vehicles, meaning:
- Fewer chances of breakdowns
- Low-cost repairs
- Less downtime
Models like the BULOCK SHAKTI and BULOCK BL2 come with high-efficiency motors, quality controllers, and rugged steel frames — making them ideal for daily commercial use.
💰 4. Government Subsidies & Incentives
Fleet owners benefit from various subsidy schemes under the FAME II policy and state EV policies, reducing the upfront cost of each rickshaw.
- Subsidies of up to ₹30,000 per vehicle
- Low-interest loans through government schemes
- Reduced GST (just 5% for EVs)
🏆 5. Ideal for Last-Mile Delivery & Ride Sharing
Electric rickshaws are perfect for:
- Daily commuters
- School transportation
- Last-mile delivery (groceries, parcels, courier)
Their compact size and excellent mileage (like 100–120 km per charge in Bulock models) make them an unbeatable choice for high-frequency, short-distance transport.
🔋 6. Long Battery Life & Easy Charging
Modern electric rickshaws now run on advanced GEL and Lithium batteries. For example:
| Battery Model | Voltage | Capacity | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulock 12140 | 12V | 140Ah | 100–120 km |
| Bulock 12145-15 | 12V | 145Ah | Up to 130 km |
These batteries are easy to charge and highly reliable, ensuring your fleet is always road-ready.
🔄 7. Scalable for Growing Businesses
With affordable entry-level models like BULOCK TEJAS or Cheetah, you can start small and scale your fleet as your business grows.
- Easy fleet monitoring
- Compatible with GPS & meters
- Optional upgrades (rear view camera, alloy wheels, etc.)
📈 8. Branding & Visibility
An electric rickshaw fleet also acts as a mobile billboard for your brand. Wrap them with your logo or sponsor ads — they are constantly moving through high-traffic zones, giving you continuous visibility.
🔧 9. Easy Access to Spare Parts & Service
Thanks to growing EV adoption, it’s now easier than ever to find spare parts and service for your fleet.
Bulock offers a complete range of e-rickshaw spare parts, including controllers, motors, meters, and brake systems.
📍 10. Great for Local & Urban Transport
Whether it’s narrow city lanes, semi-urban roads, or rural hubs — electric rickshaws are well-suited to Indian transport needs.
With top speeds of 25–40 km/h and strong suspension systems, models like BULOCK BL2 offer a comfortable ride for up to 6 passengers.
🧠 Final Thoughts: Make the Smart Move

- Lower costs
- Higher margins
