Bajaj Qute

[Milano]

I’m seeing this as a replacement to courier motorbikes. Or perhaps as cheap inner city taxis.

True. A company that regularly delivers to me usually has to send 2 x delivery bikes on the same run as the bike box has such limited capacity.

That dashboard will have kots over it everyday. Not thanks!

 

[Polymathic]

Looking at how slow the tuk tuks are I have no faith in this thing as a delivery car, it will take you ages to deliver anything, watching them struggling to go up an incline with the driver helplessly sitting there is the most painful thing to watch.

If I had R65k and wanted a delivery vehicle I would buy a Cherry QQ or some Spark, I don't think there would be much difference in terms of running costs, you will be able to make more trips, load more and make more money to pay for the extra petrol.

For businesses who only deliver within a neighborhood ie with a 3km radius and not having to use the main roads this vehicle is perfect.

A motorbike is light, fast and can navigate through traffic and its most cost efficient when it comes to fuel and other running costs, why would you replace it with this?

Capacity and versatility. If you don't want it, don't buy it.

I'm seeing typical muppet saffas cramming a family of four into it and driving between Jhb and Durban or JHB and CT.

I have seen this trending and wonder how R150p/m for 72 months becomes R65k?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

just wait till the tuk tuks start going up against it.

I have seen this trending and wonder how R150p/m for 72 months becomes R65k?

The miracle of balloon payment?

35% residual and 45% balloon...

I have seen this trending and wonder how R150p/m for 72 months becomes R65k?

Or the rumoured full price of R4900 or R6900 or whatever the fake figures were. Viral false marketing makes it trend though.

We'll have to see I guess, I don't see this making the business sense that you see, but the devil will be in the sales numbers.

 

[TheChamp]

Yep, I had spotted one of these things operating as taxis in Sandton last year before lockdown.
Here’s one I spotted I believe the last week of working at the office before lockdown:

I see someone got impatient and gave this one a gentle nudge.

 

[JohnStarr]

Was it designed by someone who was playing "pin the tail on the car design"...my 8-year old came up with something better the other day!

We'll have to see I guess, I don't see this making the business sense that you see, but the devil will be in the sales numbers.

The devil will likely be in the build quality and durability even when applied to fit for purpose duties. It does not appear to rate well in terms of build quality even in India versus far more globally established manufacturers that sell in the delivery bike segment.

you dont, but its perfect! drive this little Sh*tbox until the wheels fall of , or until you finish paying it off, (whatever comes first)
when its pathetic engine dies, just crush it, and buy another, they could even offer a buyback plan to sell you new little Sh*tboxes.

perfect car for today's society, strange they dont make an EV version,
or a version with a hole in the floor, you can use to scoot yourself along "Flintstones" style.

Of course, if you don't die in it before the wheels falls off.

According to a media report, Uber has launched the Bajaj Qute quadricycle in its new UberXS category. The new category has been introduced on the Uber App from June 13, 2019. Initially, it will only be available in Bangalore.

On petrol, the engine puts out 13 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 18.9 Nm of torque @ 4,000 rpm. When running on CNG, the peak output drops to 10.83 BHP and the torque is restricted to 16.1 Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

All UberXS rides will be powered by CNG.
