700 kms per litre
Such a headline would never miss to grab your attention.. Well it is actually 700 kms at the cost of 1 litre of petrol. And believe it is not research, this Battery powered BIKE is already in market.
It does have its share of minuses - Max Speed < 25km/hr .. So it might mean we may not blaze(?) at speeds more than 20-22 km/hr.. that'll be fine if you are moving around TNagar most of the time, but otherwise it sounds crazy..
And with a Full Charge of the Battery (takes around 8 hrs for a recharge) , you can go upto 70-75 kms. This should not be big hurdle.. we can go around for around 4 days with a single full recharge and then charge it the next night.
Think we still remember Reva Electric Cars. The concept was good. But look at the car.. Does it look anywhere near ok.. The design and the aesthetics were too poor. . Heard they are getting in big investments (they are nowhere near break-even) .. Hope they give us a better product next time.
The bike is named as Yo Bike. Manufactured by Indus Electrans.
