The Bajaj Qute has people's tongues wagging due to its miniature look. Only reaching a whopping high speed of 70km per hour, this car is now being used for transport services in Mzansi.

However, people have also used these miniature cars for speed-racing and it is getting out of hand. 

Here's how these cars have been stirring things up on social media:

We can't believe our eyes! It costs just under R200 to fill up a tank of petrol - unreal.

Unsurprisingly, the Baja Qute is technically not a car. It’s legally classified as a compact quadricycle.

In an effort to make ride-hailing services accessible and affordable for shorter trips, Bolt Lite has now integrated these cars into their platform, reports News24.
