It is the auto union who is opposing this. Moreover, the CM itself was a auto union head once in thane district.

E rickshaw should be regulated in Bengal also. They cause massive traffic it has become nightmare for others

This is worst transport system. 1. Slow Speed 2. Cause of Traffic 3. Highly vulnerable for Accident 4. Open body, cause problems during rain, dust and summer

hidden reason why rickshaw union doesn't allow e-rickshaw is that it is cheap and 4 people can sit unlike normal auto thus it creates competition for them

But this E rickshaw broke high price monopoly of cycle rickshaw taking nearly 1/4 price and from home to Delhi metro station earlier there was only one option phat phat seve in which 14 people seat in a car like rickshaw and it was very very congested, no air , and literally have to wait 15-20 minutes for full filling of that vehicle. For decades this was the daily life of delhite specially for a metro travelling man but after E rickshaw came those phat phat seva vehicles now not be seen more in Delhi, easy seating, fast filling of passengers, open from all sides for air and it somewhat also effects auto rickshaw wala ( never go with meter) because now these E rickshaw started going to 10-12 km distance also . In delhi sabzi walas has now these types of rickshaw by this they easily purchase vegetables from mandi and sell them to different areas, doodhwalas started carrying doodhs containers in those rickshaws, even government bodies started collecting garbage in these rickshaws, people use these types of rickshaws to send their children to schools from home, sand and ballo, cement carrying vehicles also replaced from old cycle thela to e rickshaw, furniture shops delivers furniture in these rickshaws, these rickshaws literally replaced more than 50 percent cycle thelas, and tempos . In small land cities like Agra kanpur , ferozabad, vrindavan these E rickshaws nearly replaced costly auto rickshaw for far travelling also. I can assure that after these E rickshaw+ metro travelling in Delhi becomes like a flowing butter and these E rickshaws are boon for momos stalls, food stalls ( they carried there apparatus in these rickshaws earlier by 2-3 round of cycle rickshaw) and for shopkeepers for transferring things, after these rickshaws people stop using personal vehicled to reach to metro stations and earlier metro stations have parking space but now no new metro station in Delhi has parking space because no need of it

Weren't we talking about banning regular rickshaws altogether? They are already unsafe themselves so e-rickshaws are even worse. Good decision in my opinion.

3:10 "mumbai ke road narrows hai" proceeds to show video of huge trucks going through narrow road

Actually these rickshaws somewhat reduced vehicles in Delhi roads, earlier many metro stations in Delhi have parking space but now no new metro station has parking space because no need of it, And earlier people were not using so much metro because of difficulty in going to metro station from home and metro station to work place or bazzar so they were using bikes etc but now no more, and people also started using these rickshaws when going to bazzar and crowded streets in place of cars. These rickshaws becomes a lifeline for shopkeepers in delhi bazzar and busy streets areas for shop luggage transport in cheap prices

E-rickshaws provide excellent last mile connectivity to Delhi metro travellers and thankfully replaced most paddle rickshaws, but it is understandable that some people hate them (although Delhi auto drivers are the worst, its better to take a shared cab)

The new e rickshaw runs at a higher speed, around 65kph it's worth using

#askPT : You just talked about e-rickshaws which are extremely slow but you didn't consider e-autos which are exactly like kaale-peele autos but with electric motors which are capable of running at around 60km/h. All the points raised by unions are countered by these e-autos. Examples: TVS King Electric, Piaggio Ape-e-City, Bajaj RE Electric, etc.

We must limit the number of autos and e-rickshaws in cities. At the moment there are just too many of them which outnumber private vehicles and overwhelm the roads. When a substantial metro network is built and bus connectivity improves, that would be a good opportunity to reduce the number of rickshaws.

Haan bhai, e-rickshaw is not fast enough to move in Mumbai's pathetic traffic...genuis rickshaw walle aur ussi bhi genius politicians jo faltu argument accept kar lete hain

Why only Mumbai for development???? politicians ignoring marathvada and vidarbh and developing Mumbai origin only..

These Mumbai auto unions specially doing these because they know for last mile connectivity they will finish there monopoly, in Delhi E rickshaw+ metro becomes complete solution for going anywhere from whole NCR. In delhi before metro and these rickshaw, Auto walas were nearly king of delhi roads

Bro literally just obsessed with Mumbai

Bhai ap mumbai k alawa baki cities par bhi dedicated video bnaya karo. Every cities have their problems and ongoing projects to tackle them like mumbai

High time, BMC should start making proper sidewalks and cycling lane. This will reduce the traffic on road

Entire North India have this E-Rickshaws in high volume and these are used generally used for streets and inside areas where person has to commute like from home to 2-4kms….Auto walas charge heavy for just 2-4kms….In delhi ncr these E-Rickshaws charges 20₹ per person for 2-3 kms…and max they make sit 4 passengers… Pune should have these E-Rickshaws only inside area lanes…not for main roads

The simple solution is to redesign the auto and make it a little wider so 3 people can sit comfortably and also improve the ventilation for the driver, have better method to save us from rain and have a maximum range of 150 kms and a speed of 85 km/hr so that it can easily run on highways.

its rickshaw, better than manual cycle rickshaw, don't u understand, in croudy narrow old city routes these are good option. However shouldn't be allowed on highways

In delhi e-rickshaw are used for last mile travel and range upto 5km only. We use metros, ev bus to travel all accross the NCR and there's always an e-rikshaw stand on every metro station connecting you to nearby areas per person fare upto 20rs. I am from Delhi currently living in Mumbai and i can say is this city deserve more. I see people risking thier life in local daily and wasting hours in travel only. Comparatively Mumbai per capita income is more but politicians didn't provide anything for thier tax payers

I visited Delhi one year back, and thank god 😂😂 its not in mumbai. Kya chutiyap hai vo gadi. Stuntbazi jyada kartai hai log.

Commendable work ❤

If Speed and Safety is problem so they can allow Electric Auto eg. ''Piaggio Ape E-City or Mahindra Treo Zor''. They looks like normal auto and run upto speed of 45-50kmph.

i am of the view that small cars like alto and nano cars should be authorised to run as autorickshaws in Mumbai instead of the current tri-wheeler rickshaws. driver + one passenger in front and 2 passengers in the rear, comfy travel and safe, especially in rainy season main issue is . rickshaws can turn easily so the average pedestrian does not care how he/she walks on the road, they know the rickshaw will easily move around them and go ahead. problem is they expect the same kind of avoidance from 4 wheel cars and this is where a lot of non fatal ( and some fatal) accidents happen. autorickshaws have changed the behaviour of people living in mumbai suburbs

They have destroyed the whole traffic rules

Great decision all other cities should also take especially Delhi

Very good decision. E Rickshaws have created traffic havoc in entire Delhi

They are unregulated and a menace to the already deteriorating traffic conditions!

The CM of the richest state n india can't stand upto the auto union. Keep living in ancient mindset and forget about progress.

I'm totally against E rickshaws. They cause havoc in cities of Uttar Pradesh.

Before allowing E- Rikshaws in Mumbai suburban areas those will have to be customised for heavy rains and street flooding. There will be need to provide charging stations.

Argument to aise de raha he zaise auto bhut accha or safe he 😂😂😂 ghanta .. Just dirty politics...ager e rickshaw bekar he to apne app eliminate ho zayega....log nhi use krenge .(natural selection).kuch v

E Rickshaw battery charging does not cost 7/km. Even if battery replacement cost is considered. If it did, it wouldn't have become rickshaw of choice in the North states. It is slower to move but it also moves more people than an Autorickshaw. Bajaj RE is legal for 3 passengers, E-Rickshaws carry 6 (2 people each on 2 rows facing each other, sometimes 3). So they carry twice the load of an Autorickshaw in 1.2x floor area. So they may decrease the speed, but they also decrease the vehicles on the road like a bus does. Also, these E-Rickshaws use Lead Acid battery which has a resale value. New battery is rarely sold without trading in your old battery. This old battery recycling rate is very high and almost nothing ends up in the landfill. Nobody in their right mind will throw away a lead acid battery. Some enterprising battery dealers cater specifically to E-Rickshaws and run battery swap stations where an E-Rickshaw can swap their discharged battery in 5 min for a charged one for a fixed fee. If this service is used, there is practically zero battery replacement cost because it is paid for every charge, not once every 6 months. And even if it costs slightly more to run/km (which it doesn't), let's not forget that the E-rickshaw transports 6 people, not 3. Majorly E-Rickshaws are used as last mile transit around metro stations. They need not travel on the faster roads because people getting out of the metro know where they need to go and alight only at the nearest stations. Mumbai metro stations are only just coming up but suburban rail has been there in Mumbai since a 100+ years. But suburban rail stations are farther from each other than metro stations reducing the practicality of a slower mode of transport. The real reason why E-Rickshaws did not pick up in Mumbai like they did in north is because initial push to E-Rickshaws came from people upgrading from cycle rickshaws. And Cycle rickshaws do not exist anywhere in Maharashtra, not just in Mumbai. All over Maharashtra, Autorikshaw is just Rickshaw. Without the initial push from cycle rickshaw upgraders, none of the existing CNG rickshaw providers switched. Now Ola is bringing its 3-wheeler to compete with Bajaj RE apart from Mahindra Treo and Bajaj themselves. These are true competitor to the Autorickshaw. They have the emissions advantage but suffer from the same seating capacity disadvantage. Till the time an EV competitor to the 6 seater tuk-tuk is not made, the congestion problem cannot be solved. I usually like your videos but this one is very poorly researched.

If there are useable footpaths on every road in the country, there would be no need for banning these vehicles. Govt. To hide its inefficiency is doing such activities

When this rikshaw was launched i thought we were going back in time😂😂 good move by mumbai

All running Rikshaw are 4 stroke not 2 stroke.

They're large and slow, they'll be nightmare for fast paced Mumbai. Mai ek chhota town me rahta hoon aur cycle chalata hoon, ye jab samne aa jata hai kafi gussa ata hai

batteries will cause more pollution than existing 3-wheelers, while many 3-wheelers now are 4 stroke and not 2 stroke, the old 2 stroke engines are still prevalent but this can be changed by a proper reform planning. Existing Batteries are not a solution.

the battery lifecycle is something to be concerned about. Other than it should be cheaper than CNG rickshaws

Unlike other cities...Auto drivers actually follow meter rules...i dont have any issues with Auto Rickshaws in Mumbai...u should worry about other cities

Sirf mumbai nai duniya ko e rickshaw adopt karna chahiye. But first we should ask the auto union about their apprehensions and concerns. Also adding steering wheel like a car will solve the rash driving problem. Handle like bikes allow sudden turns.

Erikshaw provide employment to many and they are also better than autos for short distances. Only thing they need is regulations

It's actually a simple reason, our normal rickshaw in Mumbai travels long distances and due to that they not just need range for multiple trips but also the most important speed. The kind of E-Rickshaw you are telling/ Delhi has, are small, slow and have very less range, which is ideal for a small city/state like Delhi, but not in Mumbai. Yes, there are adaptions of E-Rickshaw which are the normal size of our normal Mumbai Rickshaw but will take time to adapt in large scale, because it's not just about Union accepting it but also important about the amount profit can it generate considering it's life span, range etc.

I always wondered what happened to their batteries.

e-rickshaw batteries are not recycled ?

New EV auto's are best options.. bajaj Re and tvs. But the best option is public uses the public transport. Best, metro, local.

Very dangerous... West Bengal is facing this problem

Simple answer... Politics... Else erickshaw is good as golf kart... Short and circuit routes only

Hello sir. As always thank you for the video. Please do this type of analysis story of other City around the country. As there are lots of interesting development and story going on and like me others are also interested, so please do consider the request.

E riksha is a downgrade to to current Auto rikshaw. If CNG is the problem then replace it with clean fuel, like Hydrogen fuel rather than replacing it with battery (lithium)

Why cant we make e-rickshaw on existing chassis and increase its range with bigger battery pack...... 6:44

If not Mumbai, why can't it be done in rural Maharashtra? Is it not easier to maintain and environment friendly?

majority of the traffic is due to E rickshaw. in my city approx 1lakh plus rickshaws are in used. i think its a good decision but if they are allowed there should be linited rickshaw.

E-Autos would be a better alternative.

bajaj and Ape have proper auto which is even running in ola and uber.

Koi bhiwandi me rickshaw ki situation ke upar vdo bnao yar...lakho rickshaw hai most of them are illigal

Im from UP and 70-80% rikshaws are electric one they are slow af. even cycle guys overtake them effortlessly. although in my city most of e rikshaws are deployed in inner areas for last mile connectivity while to travel within area to another area from main road prominently cng autos are used by zoning of city.

Bhai mumbai ke alawa Aur Koi City hai ya nahi India mei ? Obsessed with Mumbai

They are Nuisance in every city they are converting roads into very slow traffic ,yes they had contributed in less petrol fuel consuming but they create slow traffic .

Jai Hind Vande Mataram⚔️🙂🙏🚩

auto meter paar nhi chalti sir, main mumbai mh hoti hogi but not in other mumbai's counterparts like NAINA & Navi Mumbai

Siliguri is became Totoguri, E riksha is became nightmare.

Please please please Nagpur me bhi ban kardo! They are a mess on road, and cause of many accidents and traffic jams!

E ricksaw ko no allotment.n 5guna illegal auto rickshaw to allow kiya .

Speed and range is valid point not the safety, even normal rickshaw will score 0 in safety

Bio CNG is best carbon neutral fuel.

E rickshaw is the biggest headache.

E Rickshaws have created so much traffic and their drivers are so reckless

The CM wont hurt his core voters base.. isn't it obvious..

Good job 👍

Why only Mumbai, why not Nandurbar

bhai mic change kro.. voice bot kam h or clear voice nhi h

Pollution ko kam karna hai to E - rikshaw ko lana chahiye

Mumbai ki Auto 5 ⭐ safety rating ke sath aati he 😅

Bhai Gorai ja Raha hai !

calling autos in maharashtra affordable is such a joke lol

Delhi most polluted but after opting EV still facing air pollution 😢.. it's not about Cars polluting environment but the factories, illegal constructions

Sodium sulfur battery 3 times the capacity

I'm from Lucknow.. and I'm fed up with these e rickshaws .. firstly just are slow.. uncomfortable.. unsafe... The people who drive them have 0 level of civic sense.. they can make a u turn at any point of time from the mid of the road where they see their passengers.. they don't follow any rules.. they don't obey traffic lights.. they can even park their vehicle in the mid of the road also... They don't care if the entire back traffic is struck up just because the rickshaw driver wanted to stop . They are just making my city slow and weird.. they are just infinite on the roads now..

Erickshaw should be banned in india..one hit me from back side on the day of diwali which resulted injury on my left leg thankfully i recovered after 20 days

E rikshaw can make more beautiful current design is looking very poor..

no it should not be allowed unless its solves the problem of Congestion, Slow Speed, Open auto as it should be closed type like normal rikshaw and most important poor Battery quality which drains in just year it not good it must be long lasting like EV cars and safe. If e auto are allowed it can help increase Charging Infrastructure.

E rickshaws are failure of governments in India. They are not able to provide other mode of transport

Like electric BEST buses in Mumbai, electric rickshaw should be made compulsory.

current auto riksha ka chasis leke usko electric kyun nahi kar sakte. abhi jo eriksha hai usme agar accident hua to driver bach hi nahi payega

Yaar sabsay bada grah hai e-rickshaw sadak pe chalte hue ..

mahindra e auto used in hilly areas is better then these 25 km erickshaw

Accha kia vaise bhi in log ke vajah se traffic aur speed bhut kam hojata hai vehicle ka

Mahindra, kinetic and ape had launched e rickshaws

Mumbai transport is controlled by Auto Mafia. Previously Illegal Mafias used to run Mumbai now, Legal Mafias liie Autorickshaw Unions are controlling Mumbai. Also, the CM is also an ex-AutoRickshaw driver so, he's obviously biased.

Sirf mumbai kyu ? Har jagah karna chahiye. But design needs lot of improvements.

Maine kabhi bhi Kolkata or Mumbai me toto rickshaws nahi dekha

E Rickshows are not suitable for Mumbai. Those are slow and aerodynamics are not suitable fast moving traffic.

E rikshaw are menace on Indian roads.

Mumbai ko hargiz bhi E Rickshaw nahi allow karna chahiye. Traffic ki band baja ke rakhi hai in E Rickshaws ne. The drivers have zero civic sense. They break traffic rules every time.

Is it true that Bajaj Auto killed the Public Bus service in cities like Pune?

they are more of a nuisance to public than convenience. most of the drivers break every traffic rule.

In our city "e-rickshaw" is known as "MODI WALA RICKSHAW"
