Martin Bester takes a drive in the Bajaj Qute

Here are a few more interesting facts about the newcomer that has South Africans' tongues wagging. 

Martin Bester had a first-hand experience with the Bajaj Qute, currently classified as a quadricycle. What this means is that the vehicle is defined by limitations in terms of weight, engine power and speed. We filmed this fun experience so you know what you're getting when you buy this newcomer. It has been rumoured to cost as little as R150 per month but that of course isn't true. The car retails at R 75 000 but you can get it for R 10 000 less for a limited time.

The Qute is designed to be a versatile vehicle that can suit multiple first and last-mile transportation needs. You can use it as a regular taxi in a crowded metro city or as a personal vehicle in a rural town. The vehicle has a 217cc petrol engine and can go at a maximum speed of 70 km/h. The vehicle can seat the driver as well as three passengers.
