The Bajaj Qute (known as Bajaj RE60 during its unveiling in 2012) is a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive, four-passenger India-classified quadricycle (similar category to the L7e Quadricycle subcategory found in EU-classified quadricycle norms) built by the Indian company Bajaj Auto and is aimed primarily at the Indian domestic market. The Bajaj Qute was the first four-wheeler manufactured by Bajaj Auto. It was unveiled on 3 January 2012 and production started in 2019.
On 22 May 2013, the Government of India legally classified it as a 'quadricycle'. As a result, it is electronically speed-limited to 70 km/h, and as of now, is only allowed to be used for commercial purposes as an alternative to auto rickshaws.
When the Bajaj Qute was brought to Europe, it was classified as an L7e Quadricycle.
