Vaidyuthi Mobility Launches EV Gully100: A Game-Changer for India’s Last-Mile Delivery
Vaidyuthi Mobility, a Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup, has introduced a first-of-its-kind electric three-wheeler, the EV Gully100, designed specifically to fill a critical gap in India’s last-mile logistics and urban delivery ecosystem. Priced at under ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom) after central and state subsidies, the Gully100 is not just an affordable solution but also a revolutionary one, as it can be operated by anyone with a standard two-wheeler license.
The Unlicensed Advantage: Bridging the Gap in Urban Logistics
The most significant aspect of the Gully100 is that it leverages a recent regulatory change in India that allows certain categories of electric three-wheelers to be driven without a commercial LMV-3 (Light Motor Vehicle – 3-wheeler) license. This reform is a major step toward democratizing the gig economy and last-mile delivery sector.
- Addressing a Market Need: The Gully100 is designed to target the long-ignored mid-load delivery segment, which handles cargo in the range of 50 to 400 kg. This is a space where delivery companies have traditionally been forced to either overload motorbikes or use underutilized, expensive auto-rickshaws.
- Lowering Barriers to Entry: By eliminating the need for a commercial license, the Gully100 opens up a new world of opportunities for thousands of gig workers, delivery partners, and small business owners who previously lacked the necessary permits to operate a three-wheeler. This reduces the cost and time associated with acquiring a commercial license, thereby expanding the available driver pool for fleet operators.
Features and Engineering: Designed for Indian Realities
The Gully100 is engineered from the ground up to handle the demanding conditions of Indian roads while prioritizing safety, efficiency, and driver comfort.
- Dual-Motor Powertrain: The vehicle is equipped with a dual-motor system that provides high torque, ensuring strong performance even when carrying a full load. The scooter’s battery has a capacity of 9 kWh.
- “Breathe & Adapt” Suspension: A standout feature is the in-house developed “Breathe & Adapt” air suspension system. This innovative technology automatically adjusts to a variety of Indian road conditions and compensates for shifting cargo weight, ensuring a stable and comfortable ride.
- Advanced Safety Systems: Vaidyuthi Mobility has integrated several safety features, including Tilt Guard to prevent rollovers, an active swing arm, and an electronic differential for enhanced stability and control.
- Performance and Range: The Gully100 is built for a full day of delivery shifts, offering a claimed real-world range of 120 km on a single charge.
Availability and Price
Vaidyuthi Mobility has announced a clear timeline for the Gully100’s market entry.
- Manufacturing: Production is scheduled to begin in September 2025.
- Pre-orders: The company will open pre-orders for the EV in October 2025.
- Deliveries: Deliveries are slated to begin in November 2025.
With an ex-showroom price of under ₹2 lakh (subject to government subsidies), the EV Gully100 is poised to be an affordable and transformative solution for last-mile delivery, creating a new category of vehicles in India’s rapidly expanding electric mobility sector.
