With the price of a liter of petrol crossing the century, rural areas are looking at electric vehicles as an alternative to petrol carts. However, due to the high price of these, they are reluctant to buy them. Especially in rural India, however, they are ready to buy electric vehicles at a lower price. The newest startup Voltron is working on making an electric bicycle targeting such people.
Voltron
The Voltron startup‌ launched in August 2020. From this startup came the e-bicycle market under the name Voltron. Achieved a turnover of Rs 35 lakh during the year. At present, however, the rise in petrol rates and the government’s backing of electric vehicles under the FEMA scheme have intensified the aggression of the Voltron. Designed the electric bicycle to suit the needs of people in rural areas and municipalities. It is coming into the market with a target of ten crore turnover in a single year.
100 km with a single charge

The average charge per unit of electricity across the country is Rs. 4. You can travel a distance of 75 km at a cost of just four rupees. The maximum speed of this electric bicycle is 25 kilometers per hour.
What is the price
The price of the electric bicycle offered by Voltron is estimated to be around Rs 35,000. The company is offering a one-year warranty on this bicycle. The company is preparing to launch online and offline sales if Covid conditions improve. It is aiming to achieve a turnover of Rs 10 crore within a year. The company currently has a bicycle manufacturing unit at Najafgarh near Delhi. Four hundred bicycles are being made here per month and it will be increased to fifteen hundred.
Warranty
The controller of the bicycle guarantees that if there are any problems with the motor, the bicycle will be replaced immediately. This bicycle repair is also said to be very easy. However, it is not clear how much weight this bicycle can carry.
