Having revolutionized digital connectivity throughout India, Jio is all set to step into the electric mobility space the launch of Jio Electric Bicycle.
A new product, the K01 scooter, is at the genesis of the brethren brand in the smart mobility market as the perfect product, or says the press release, is expected to deliver a fusion of technology versus affordability, coupled with a stylish appearance.
“With the modern Indian in mind, the Jio Electric Cycle is poised to become a practical and futuristic mode of commuting with a perfect blend of performance and sustainability.
Sleek, Urban-Centric Design
What first appeals the eyes is the trendy look and the sports frame of the cycle. Made from lighter but strong aluminum alloy or carbon steel, this design is both durable and aesthetic pleasing.
The bike’s architecture will also feature an ergonomic handlebar, combined LED lighting, and a lightweight design, which is just perfect for city streets, as well as weaving through traffic, and easy, short-term commuting.
Power Meets Performance
Its powerful electric motor and removable li-ion battery are known to be its stand out features.
This blend provides gentle acceleration, quiet at use, and energy saving – especially ideal if you’re eco-conscious.
An approximate 70-75KMs of range per charge, the electric cycle outperforms many of its class.
It has three modes — electric only, pedal assist, and pedal, so riders can choose depending on the terrain or whether they want to preserve the charge in its battery.
Intelligent Features for Today’s Riders
Jio has brought in its digital capabilities to the product by Pert moo with smart features. We expect the electric cycle to get a digital dashboard which projects real-time figures such as, speed, range, battery-status, and ride modes.
This dashboard could also be compatible with Bluetooth and app integration, enabling riders to connect their smartphones, plot routes, view ride data, and even be notified of theft with just a few taps.
Built for Indian Roads
To really make it usable for the average Indian rider, the Jio Electric Cycle may include front suspension forks and puncture-resistant tires that soak up the shocks of Indian roads.
The ride is also cushioned with a comfortable saddle, and the seat height can be adjusted.
It is designed keeping in mind the traffic, speed breakers and the bad patches commonly found on city roads, thereby the rider feels very less discomfort even for longer rides.
Green Your Commute
With no carbon emissions and a low running cost, the Jio Electric Cycle fits in perfectly with India’s demand for greener modes of transportation.
It cuts down pollution and also saves substantial amount of fuel cost for the user.
Its battery backup is also long as well, so, it’s for sure one of the best investment for daily office going peoples, students and delivery guys.
Battery and Charge Conveniently
The cycle is likely to be powered by a 36V lithium-ion battery which can be fully charged in 3-4 hours from a standard home socket.
And since the battery is removable, charging is easier – even if you live in an apartment or a shared space.
Jio could also offer battery swap options or fast-charging stations in specific cities to make owning the scooter more convenient.
Pricing and availability details
The pricing is expected to lead Jio’s usual cheap and cheerful war. Currently, there is no word on a possible price but speculations are towards a range of ₹35,000-₹45,000 to make it cost effective compared to existing e-bikes as well as regular two-wheelers.
The high acceptance rate of Jio brands, and pan-India reach through the Reliance Digital retail channels could make the Jio Electric Cycle a hit across age groups and social status from the day one.
