This post is a part of the Early Stage Climate Startup series from Climafix 2024


Highlights

  • Smart & accessible electric trikes for last-mile delivery market. 
  • WARAR’s electric trikes offer 200 kg cargo capacity, three times that of a motorbike.

1. Value Proposition

  • Increased Payload: The trikes provide 3x more space and payload capacity compared to traditional bikes, making them ideal for last-mile delivery in dense urban areas.
  • Enhanced Safety and Stability: The trike platform ensures stability at high speeds and can handle challenging road conditions.

2. Pain Points

  • Limited Mobility & High Cost: Small business owners, women, and individuals with disabilities face barriers in accessing affordable and reliable delivery vehicles. WARAR’s trikes provide a cost-effective and adaptable mobility solution.
  • Challenges in Urban Delivery: Traffic congestion, limited parking, and harsh weather conditions make delivery inefficient. WARAR address these issues by providing a narrow-footprint vehicle with weather protection, increasing delivery efficiency and reducing delays​.

3. Climate Impact

  • Replacing fuel-powered vehicles with electric trikes, WARAR helps reduce the carbon footprint of last-mile delivery operations.
  • Electric trike platform operates at a fraction of energy and cost, with battery swapping tech adding to efficiency.

4. Current & Future Target Segments

  • Current Target Segments: Food delivery, parcel delivery, and retail distribution benefit from the increased payload capacity and cost savings.
  • Future Target Segments: Larger logistics providers, e-commerce companies, and municipalities​.

5. USP

  • Payload Capacity & Design: The trikes provide three times the space and payload (200 kg) capacity. They also hold a provisional patent for its sprocket system, enhancing power transmission in electric vehicles and improving performance.
