It has only been three months since the launch of the Jio Electric Cycle and it has already captured a significant market share in the newly emerging e-cycle sector. This newcomer stands out because of its intelligent combination of technology, performance, and affordability which aligns with Jio’s vision of making sophisticated innovations available for the masses.
Because the motor allows riders to reach a speed of 25 km/h, which is the legal limit for electric bicycles in many places, the cycle can be used for both urban commuting and leisure riding.
Arguably the cycle’s most extraordinary attribute is its range; riders can expect to travel 40 to 60 kilometers on a single charge depending on the riding style and terrain.
With the Jio Electric Cycle’s “range anxiety” most users experience with electric vehicles, becomes a problem of the past, as the cycle is suitable for daily trips making it highly practical
It takes just 3.5 hours to charge the battery, which can be done overnight. This battery can be easily removed.
Other than riding, features of an electric bike include smart riding technologies. Precise details such as riding speed, battery power, distance covered, and riding mode are provided on the handlebar LED display.
The dedicated mobile application available on both Android and IOS allows users to track their rides, monitor the condition of their batteries, or even locate their bike if misplaced. The application also allows users to customize their riding experience. Users can switch between eco, regular, and sport modes which vary in the level of power assistance provided.
Though comparable e-cycles by popular brands tend to range between ₹45,000 and ₹80,000, the Jio Electric Cycle is just ₹29,999, with luxury versions priced at ₹34,999 and ₹39,999.
Apart from individual benefits, the Jio Electric Cycle is a giant leap towards greener urban mobility. For short- to medium-distance transportation, each e-cycle on the road can potentially substitute carbon-spewing vehicles.
