How electric bikes begin in India?
First in India,  Bangalore based Ekovehicles & Gujarat based Electrotherm have stepped into this new form of business which was then a very new concept to Indians. Slowly they picked up sales because of electric bike advantage of no-license and no-registration. But as the technology still in nascent stage, there were a lot of service related problems faced by the costumer and due to this, the entire concept of electric bike lost the good will of costumers.

Mean while Avon cycles, Lectrix Motors ltd, Ampere vehicles pvt ltd, TI cycles also launched their electric bikes and concentrating on the “know how”& “know why” aspects of electric bikes and hoping a big future for this business.
