Product description Brand name and product description

Mellowcabs are three-wheeled electric minicabs that are designed to provide an efficient on-demand taxi service in urban areas. They are eco-friendly with zero carbon emissions as they use a solar panel that produces up to 35% of the cab’s power and a battery to complement the cab’s needs. They are aimed to provide micro transport within a three miles radius. A single Mellowcab can provide over 120 km of transport per day. A mobile app connects the commuters and the cabs and payment can be made via the app. A promotional video is available here.
