Indian roads are quite monotonous in terms of the variety of vehicles, so anything out of that box is quite easy to spot. In one such scenario, a sophisticated-looking three-wheeler got the attention of people on the roads of Mumbai. So much so, that the vehicle was filmed and the videos were shared on social media. Many compared it to the Batmobile, while others called it an expensive electric rickshaw. However, the vehicle in the videos is a Lynx Lean Electric three-wheeler.

One of the social media users, who managed to identify the vehicle shared the information along with the video. In his post on X, he said, “People are guessing about the Vehicle driven in Mumbai. Here’s everything I could find about it. This is the Lynx Lean Electric, a two-seater, three-wheeled tilting vehicle by Lynx Cars, a Danish company.” He added, “Priced at €35,000, or ₹31,00,000, plus import costs.”
The video shared on social media, shows the Lynx Lean electric vehicle on a signal waiting with the other vehicles in the traffic. As soon as the light turns green, the driver heads ahead to take a sharp U-turn. The vehicle justifies its name by leaning on the turning side and executing the U-turn without a problem.
