Surge unveils S32: Is that a Real-life Batmobile?

Hero Motocorp-owned company Surge has revealed the S32, an electric vehicle (EV) that can be converted from a three-wheeled rickshaw to an e-scooter with ease. The Batmobile from Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" series served as the inspiration for this electric vehicle. Its design allows it to function as a rickshaw for business purposes and be quickly transformed into a high-performance scooter for navigating city traffic. Owners may convert the S32 move between a scooter and a rickshaw alternately, according to the Delhi-based company. It takes only three minutes to accomplish this.

Transformation from 3-wheeler to 2-wheeler

All it takes to complete the switch is a button press. Pressing the button causes the front windscreen to rise vertically, exposing the scooter within; at the same time, the cabin quickly changes, releasing a mechanism that doubles up as a spring.
