What is different about Chale E‑rickshaw
A fare, not a negotiation
The price is calculated from your routed distance and the pricing rules set for your city, and shown in full before you book.
Quiet and battery-powered
No engine noise and no exhaust on short city trips, so the ride is calmer for everyone on board.
A captain who has been checked
Licence, registration and identity are reviewed by a person before an e-rickshaw captain can take a trip.

Follow the e-rickshaw to your pickup point on the map, and the trip afterwards, with an arrival time that updates.

Questions
Frequently asked
How many people can travel in a Chale e-rickshaw?
The e-rickshaw category is set for up to four people. The seat count shown when you book is the one your city is configured with.
Is an e-rickshaw good for long trips?
It is designed for short city trips. For longer distances, a car or auto is usually the better choice.
What if no e-rickshaw is available?
Chale tells you plainly that no captain accepted, rather than leaving you waiting. You can try again or choose another service.
Is the fare different at night or in the rain?
Pricing rules, including any time-of-day or demand modifiers, are set by the operations team per city and applied on the server. Whatever applies is included in the amount you see before you book.
