EV startup launches three-wheeler designed for delivery drivers

Vaidyuthi Mobility, an electric vehicle (EV) startup, has rolled out EV Gully100, a three-wheeled electric vehicle designed for delivery drivers who hold only a two-wheeler licence. It is the first such vehicle on Indian roads, taking advantage of new regulatory changes that allow electric three-wheelers in this category to be operated without a commercial LMV-3 licence.

India’s delivery fleets rely heavily on two-wheelers for small loads and larger autorickshaws for heavier cargo. Gully100 aims at addressing the delivery of cargo in the range of 50-km to 400-km, which accounts for a significant portion of urban delivery demand, thereby minimising the overloading of bikes or underutilisation of expensive vehicles.

“We are building a category that did not exist before. Most delivery operations today are stuck between too small or too big. This gives them a third option — one that fits the job,” said Raj Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Vaidyuthi Mobility.

The EV uses a dual-motor setup designed for high torque and better traction, especially under full load. The suspension has been built in-house and includes an adaptive system meant to handle uneven city roads.

According to the company, its new cabin layout is the most spacious in its class and is designed for longer shifts. The battery offers a real-world range of 120 km on a single charge.

“This is one of the safest and most affordable electric three-wheelers we’ve ever built,” said Hari Vasudevan, co-founder and CTO of Vaidyuthi Mobility. “We didn’t just optimise for price. We looked at what the Indian delivery workforce actually needs on the ground — from terrain and load to comfort and driver access.”

The Gully100 also brings in a set of safety features including Tilt Guard, a system that helps prevent the vehicle from rolling over, especially on uneven roads or sharp turns. There’s also an active swing arm and an electronic differential, both of which work together to keep the ride stable and responsive under load.

Vaidyuthi Mobility has also developed what it calls the world’s first Breathe & Adapt air suspension, built to adjust on the fly to potholes, shifting weight, or rough terrain. According to the company, the vehicle is also eligible for State and Central EV incentives.
