Rickshaw \u2013 The new Outlook!!"},"content":{"rendered":"

India is fast growing on Electric vehicles and when the makers of cars and bikes\/scooters are running towards manufacturing more ecological vehicles then why not rickshaws too. That\u2019s where giants like Oye! Rickshaw comes into play. A Gurugram based electric rickshaw hailing company is adamant in changing the outlook of people by engineering pollution-free rickshaws in Delhi NCR.<\/p>\n

Oye! Rickshaw is an amalgamation of three beautifully engineered concepts \u2013 Ride, Deliver, and Battery Swapping.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Oye!<\/p>\n

Ride and Delivery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With approximately 8000 driver partners over the five cities of Delhi, NCR, Oye! Rickshaw believes not only in creating value for the customers but also for their drivers. During the pandemic, the company provided a side stream of income for their e-rickshaw drivers while many like them were losing financial hope. The team provided a delivery platform where the drivers can deliver goods to the customer\u2019s doorsteps and get paid for the same.<\/p>\n

By partnering with brands like Big Basket, Jio Mart, Udaan, etc. the drivers could provide an enjoyable ride to their customers during the peak hours in the morning and evening and keep themselves busy by delivering goods to incur extra income post-Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Battery Swapping<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oye! Rickshaw is need-sensitive and to empower and provide extra miles to their driver-partners, they have started the Battery Swapping business. The usual time to charge an e-battery takes up to 8 to 10 hours and costs Rs. 100 to Rs. 150 per day. Through battery swapping the time is reduced to just 2-5 minutes and the company provides an instant discount of Rs. 50 to their driver-partners too.<\/p>\n

Through a single battery charge, the e-rickshaws have the mobility of 50-60 Km range but with the introduction of Battery Swapping by Oye! Rickshaw, the e-rickshaw has increased its range to 100 Km per day.<\/p>\n

The battery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The battery used by Oye! Rickshaw\u2019s e-rickshaws are lithium ion-based. This is an advanced technology that uses lithium ions. As it is the key component during the whole electrochemical cycle, the lithium atoms are ionized and separated from their electrons during the discharge system. The ions are permitted to move through a micro permeable separator. Due to their small size, they have a very high voltage as well as high charge storage per unit mass and unit volume.<\/p>\n

A Lithium-ion battery is one of the most technologically advanced batteries available in the market that is very safe for drivers as well as riders. These IoT-enabled batteries are tracked, traced, and analyzed via a battery intelligence system developed by the in-house team of Oye! Rickshaw. This innovative system makes lithium-ion batteries the smartest in the market by provides crucial information like the life of the battery, number of rides and analyses them at the same time. This aids the company to constantly improve the riding experience of their riders and driver-partners too.<\/p>\n
