Zelio E-Mobility Unveils Tanga Nine+ at RideAsia Expo 2026 with Autosafe Front Design
The Tanga Nine+ marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor and has been designed to address evolving last-mile mobility needs across urban and semi-urban markets. One of the most notable enhancements is the introduction of an Autosafe front design, moving beyond the conventional open or semi-open structures typically seen in three-wheelers. This advancement aims to improve passenger safety and enhance driver confidence in real-world operating conditions.
In addition, the vehicle offers an expanded seating capacity of up to 8 passengers, compared to 5 in the earlier Tanga Nine variant, enabling higher passenger throughput and improved earning potential for operators. The product has been specifically developed for shared mobility use cases such as intra-city transport, short-distance connectivity, and high-frequency routes, where efficiency, safety, and capacity are critical.
The Tanga Nine+ is engineered for dependable daily performance, delivering a top speed of 45–50 km/h and a range of up to 150 km per charge. It is powered by a 2.5 kW motor with BLDC/PMSM technology and offers multiple battery configurations, including 7.8 kWh and 10 kWh, providing flexibility based on usage requirements.
Built for comfort and durability, the vehicle features 670 mm leg space, a gross vehicle weight of 900 kg, and wheel & rim sizes of 3.75×12 / 4.00×12. It is equipped with a combi braking system with drum brakes at both the front and rear, ensuring stable and controlled braking performance. Charging options of 25A and 45A further support operational flexibility across different use cases.
“Last-mile mobility in India is evolving rapidly, and there is a clear need for solutions that balance safety, capacity, and economic viability,” said Kunal Arya, Managing Director, Zelio E-Mobility. “With the Tanga Nine+, we have focused on addressing these core requirements by introducing an Autosafe front design and significantly enhancing passenger capacity. This product is built to support operators with better earning potential while ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.”
The 7th edition of the RideAsia EV Expo brought together more than 300 leading brands, showcasing the latest products and technologies in a rapidly evolving electric mobility market shaped by shifting consumer demand, innovation, and emerging business channels. Zelio’s Tanga Nine+ attracted strong attention at the expo, generating considerable interest and enquiries from visitors.
