The UrbanCarriers product family is built on the CROC EV · India's first ARAI-certified reverse-trike platform by Speedloop Auto. Engineered for the 80₹100 kg urban payload band that two-wheelers can't safely carry and large 3Ws can't efficiently serve.
The CROC EV is the underlying platform powering all UrbanCarriers products. Its reverse-trike architecture · two wheels front, one rear · delivers the narrow width of a two-wheeler with the stability of a three-wheeler. A compact front packages a small track-width; a wide centre holds a removable 2₹5 kWh battery pack.
Single-seater with integrated backrest. Ladder + space frame chassis. Double wishbone independent front suspension. Designed to operate reliably on India's densest, most demanding urban routes.
All UrbanCarriers products are built on the CROC EV platform. The UrbanCarrier C80 is available now. All other models are in development.
