Its products are engineered to be affordable, performance-driven, and practical for both everyday commuting and longer-distance travel, offering a compelling alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. The startup gained nationwide visibility following its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 2, where it presented its range of electric bicycles and tricycles.
