eBikeGo acquires manufacturing rights of e-trike Velocipedo from Torrot

MUMBAI: Electric mobility startup

eBikeGo

on Thursday announced that it has acquired the rights to manufacture smart e-trike '

Velocipedo

' of Spanish automotive company

Torrot

in India.

With this, eBikeGo now plans to enter the luxury electric three-wheeler industry and aims to manufacture these scooters (tricycles), the startup said in a release.

Velocipedo is a smart electric trike that looks like a tadpole tricycle, equipped with two front wheels and one rear wheel and is a completely unique concept of a three-wheeled, electric, networked vehicle that is destined to revolutionise urban travel.

It has a carbon fibre roof that serves as a roll cage for its two occupants.

This acquisition will address a niche in the Indian mobility sector, particularly in the electric vehicle segment, eBikGo said. Velocipedo is meant to provide all of the benefits of an e-scooter to the consumers but in a more secure and handy way, as per the release.

“We are happy to have acquired one of the leading international automotive companies for the manufacturing of e-Trike Velocipedo in the Indian Market, pertaining to the requirement of Indian consumers and infrastructure. This acquisition will put the Indian EV industry on the global map,” said Irfan

Khan

, Founder-CEO, eBikeGo.

The future of mobility is electric and the post-COVID, the world presents an opportunity for us to accelerate the adoption of e-mobility globally, he said.

With electric, digitally connected capabilities, three-wheelers will further emerge as the most preferred urban mobility paradigm around the world and will empower every consumer,” Khan added.

Velocipedo will be produced in three basic models: a personal vehicle,

Trick Taxi

and a cargo vehicle in Pune from early next year, the company said.

The basic model can accommodate two people.

The vehicle has a top speed of 95 Kmph and a range per charge of 200 kilometres. It can be fully charged in 1.5 hours (on 220V outlet), while the regenerative braking feature could add 10-20 per cent to the range, eBikeGo said.

The 155 kg Velocipedo-C, which is intended for commercial use, has room only for the driver along with enough space to accommodate 70 kg of cargo. This model just has a basic windshield and it will require a helmet to operate.
