Customer Frustration with YO bike after sale service

Animated Wheels and Tires 4WP

This is with respect to the email we receieved from Mr. Jitu Vora dated 10.06.11 to our mail id.

He has purchased YO-EXL electric bike from Veraval dealer for YO Bikes, Gujarat before one year. He was given two years warranty for the battery. Recently the battery is not getting full charge and the drive range is utmost 10 km. He have complained many times to the dealer. He understood the dealer has closed the dealership of Yo bikes. Now he has no one to complain and his bike is lying idle. He tried to complain YO bikes but no response from the customer care. He frustration grew due to insensitivity of YO bike service team and planning to file a case of YO BIKE company in consumer court.

Note from EVHUB.IN :

If any one of the YO team has seen this complaint, I request you to forward this to your service team and make sure Mr. Jitu Vora’s bike get serviced. If not, this will reflect the poor service quality of electric bike companies and people will lose interest in electric bikes and effect negatively to whole EV market. Please act on it.

Contact us to info(at)evhub.in to get in touch with the customer.

Electric Vehicle Value Chain is Changing


Cheap Cycle Parts 2 468 x 60

Electric Vehicle Value Chain is Changing


The electric vehicle value chain is shown below. Basically, some finishers buy in the capital intensive powertrain from specialist suppliers and do the labour intensive, less technical coachwork to make a vehicle. This is commonplace with military vehicles and buses for instance. The new IDTechEx reports, “Electric Buses and Taxis 2011-2021″ and “Military, Security & Police Electric Vehicles 2011-2021″ give the detail on strong examples of this in buses and military vehicles in particular.
On the other hand, some manufacturers do the whole operation, Toyota, the world number one in electric vehicles, and Nissan being examples. Hybrid powertrains are a particularly complex technology, making them a meaningful segment for some time to come. There is nothing new in this: for example, with conventional cars, Rolls Royce has traditionally left the coachwork to others. However, even hybrid powertrains are simplifying and there will be a trend towards vehicle manufacturers buying in range extenders, motors, batteries etc separately and assembling them themselves into optimised systems.
