The Ape E-City despite being an e-rickshaw is 689 kg of GVW and payload of 390 kg. You can take a comfortable 3-passenger comfortable seat that has generous cabin space and a cozy, wide passenger seat.

Piaggio offers 36 months or 100 000 km of warranty and three years of scheduled maintenance free and a comprehensive AMC promise for three years.
One of the major factors of the electric avatar of Ape branded three-wheeler is that while they maintain the key design architecture, look and feel of the IC engine sibling, at the same time you find the EVs differentiating them on the key external factors. Take a look at the Ape E-City, and you won’t miss the striking Italian design and distinctive styling. The attractive front look with blue-vision headlamps and contemporary decals attract your attention. Then you see the appealing chrome branding and dual-tone seats.
Despite being an EV, there is no compromise on either space, practicality or features in the Ape E-City. The vehicle dimensions are 1930 mm of wheelbase, 1370 mm of width, length and height of 2700 mm and 1700 mm respectively. The ground clearance is 163mm (200 for swappable battery variant). You hardly see anything missing, which means Piaggio is offering you everything you expect in terms of the exterior and interior of this auto-rickshaw.
The electric avatar of the Ape E-City makes sure you earn higher profit by spending less on the running cost. Since no engine and transmission, you get a far superior driving experience and the passenger would also feel quite comfortable in the noiseless vehicles. To ensure superior performance of this electric Ape E-City against the IC engine powered auto-rickshaw, Piaggio is offering quite a lot of features and value-added services to make it an attractive vehicle to own.
The performance is ensured by a 48V voltage lithium-ion type battery which comes with 5.44 kW of peak power, with a rated battery capacity of 7.5 kW (4.5kW for swappable battery). It produces a reasonable 29Nm of torque with a longer range. Piaggio claims 110 km of real-life driving range on this vehicle (68 for swappable variants). Besides you get higher pickup with the boost mode, and the gradeability of the E-City is higher with a hill-hold assist feature.
With the fixed battery variant, you get a 48V, 3000W off-board charger, and the full charge of the battery takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes. In the swappable battery variant, you have multiple advantages like no worry of running out of charge with instant battery swapping, no battery replacement cost and anti-theft GPS enabled batteries. Piaggio also has an easy to use mobile App that helps you with all the necessary user-friendly features.
