eBikeGo, an electric vehicle rental service, has announced its ambitious plans to increase its fleet of electric two-wheelers to over 100,000 units by the end of next fiscal year.
The company says having established a robust presence in 7 metropolitan cities over the past three years, it now aims to broaden its operations to include tier I and tier II cities across the country.
The last-mile delivery and e-commerce business is growing in India at the rate of 6.4 percent as of Q1 of 2024. As direct-to-consumer delivery becomes the need of the hour and a compulsory asset, the affordability of a petrol two-wheeler vehicle at the current price point raises a question. Additionally, adversely affecting the environment.
The annual growth rate of Hyperlocal Delivery (CAGR) from 2024 to 2029 is expected to be approximately 16.14 percent, resulting in a projected market volume of $92.50 billion by 2029.
Hyperlocal delivery models are also penetrating deep into tier II and III cities, as well as rural areas like Zepto, Big Basket, etc. to name a few.
The increase in the usage of petrol two-wheelers for the delivery chain will not only increase the fuel consumption but also, hamper the environment by adding up air pollution and substantial increase in carbon emissions. eBikeGo says it constantly persevere to reduce carbon emissions and in order to tackle this massive problem the company aims to switch 100,000 petrol bikes to electronic bikes by next fiscal year, hence saving 198,000 tonnes of carbon emission.
Since its inception in 2019 at Amritsar, eBikeGo has shown a dedicated commitment to
At present, eBikeGo manages a fleet of over 3,000 e-bikes, meticulously tracked over 10 million kilometres and optimised using data analytics (amounting to over one petabyte of data) through our home-grown telematics device.
“After a remarkable success in metropolitan cities, we now focus our expertise to expand to tier I and tier II cities. We are enthusiastic about the potential to transform everyday commuting into a more sustainable practice that supports both the environment and local economies,” said Dr. Irfan Khan, Founder & CEO, eBikeGo.
