The term 'E-rickshaw' denotes Electric Rickshaw. As the name suggests these rickshaws run on electricity, quite unlike the conventional rickshaws, and so there is no emission of harmful gases. The battery in these vehicles is rechargeable and can easily be recharged from a roadside point or even at home. Over the last few years the demand for such rickshaws has gone up to a large extent with people growing more and more conscious about environmental decadence.
