The Bajaj Qute has scored just 1 star in crash tests conducted by the Euro NCAP. The quadricycle managed to score only 28% in adult occupant safety.

According to the report, in the frontal crash test, the Qute's structure was judged to be unstable. Many spot welds had released and deformation of the structure indicated that it could not have withstood a higher degree of loading.

There were no signs of deformation to any mounting points for the seat belt or buckle.

In the side impact test, the door on the struck side became detached from the A-pillar as the door structure detached from the hinges.

In the frontal impact, despite modest rearward and upward movement of the steering wheel, the dummy’s head made contact with the centre of the steering wheel. The Qute does not have frontal airbags.

The findings indicate a high probability of serious or fatal injury in a human as a result of this contact.

Protection of the neck was rated as good. However, together with the unstable structure, the contact with the rim of the steering wheel gave high chest compressions and the protection offered to this area of the body was rated as poor.

Protection of the knee, femur and pelvis was also rated as poor owing to the presence of hard structures below the dashboard.

In the side impact test, the force with which the head struck the side roof rail indicated a high probability of serious or fatal injury due to the lack of a side curtain airbag or padding in this area.

Similarly, dummy readings of lateral rib compression were high and protection of the chest was rated as poor. Protection of the abdomen was rated as marginal and that of the pelvis was good.

Quadricycles built by other manufacturers have also scored poorly in crash tests conducted by Euro NCAP.

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

Was seen on We Buy Cars for R20k or something. Most people won't buy this new either

Edit : Seems some people thought it was R4500. Petrol for the full tank is R150 though apparently

What's the difference between this and a motorcycle? Safety is on par.......looks like the only two differences is that you won't get wet in the Qute, when it rains and that I won't fit inside one.
 
N1 drive to Cape Town, with the Cape Docter doing its thing... You will fall over in this galoppie.

It probably doesn't have a boot. So you have to pack stuff on the roof. Roix would probably beat tjat things across town on his bike.

In short, yes, but the practical differences are minimal. Both a balloon and residual payment imply paying a defined amount at the end of your car loan, specifically designed to reduce your ongoing repayments throughout the life of your loan prior to the end of term. Commonly related to car leases (not loans), residual payments are a factor of the final estimated value of your vehicle accounting for depreciation considerations. Balloon payments related to car loans (not leases) where they are set as percentages or values not based on the value of the car.

1 year warranty...hows how long it will last.

one year/10k km, that's barely half a year of driving for most people, must be the shortest warranty on the market.

These are basically in the same class as the Tata Nano. Small affordable vehicle for the Indian market. The Nano failed and they stopped manufacturing in 2019.
