I have driven this 3-wheel Bajaj pickup and its predecessor for years. Here are my proposals for the folks in Akurdi, Pune (India), for improvements. I would increase the wheel size from 40 cm to 50 cm (16” to 20”) -- to give the vehicle a smoother ride and 25% greater speed. I would narrow the load bed by 10cm (4”) at each side -- to give it an even better advantage in traffic and when parking. I would reduce the drag, among other things by extending the front about 10 cm (4”) -- which in turn would provide greater space inside for the petrol tank and cubby-hole. I might increase the engine size from 175cc to 200cc, to add a little power. And I would install seat belts as standard (I have a 4-point seatbelt in mine). OBSERVATION: Then it should just about be the perfect “car”! And ... they could work on an electric model.
