Every year through many NGOs, government organisations and by many other reports submitted on pollution level. But, the question is are that reports really taken seriously? Very few enthusiasm for electric vehicles doesn’t match the curiosity level which shown on social media or offline campaign.
Hurdles for electric mobility in India
Actually, there is lack of practicality too in the implementation of electric mobility. In developing nation like India, conditions are more worst than other developed nation. For eg. talk about this electric bike ‘Hero Flash’. In one charge its range is 65 kms. So, if you are using this then you will think for distance first. You have to go to your destinations and come back to your place, because you knew it in mid you will unable to find any charging station.
So, it means you only can max. half of its range. And believe me this is the first and major problem in owning an electric vehicle.

Under the seat, there is enough space to keep your stuff during riding.
As Sohinder Gill says this bike will surely prove a strong step towards make vehicles fuel free, but there is a long way to go.
Attractive pricing and eye pleasing look will hit the heart of targetted customers or not? This only can answer with time but for school or college going students, this will perfect. You don’t need a driving licence even to ride this.
There is lot more powerful bike which is targeting college students like Yamaha FZ 25, Duke 200, Pulsar 200 NS and more. Enthusiasm and selling graphs will pleasing to see and hoping for some interesting and shocking data.
