Electric vehicles are being discussed a lot in India these days. People are troubled by the rising prices of petrol and diesel and are looking for alternatives that are cheap, good for the environment and comfortable in everyday life. At such a time, news is coming that Patanjali is now preparing to launch its new electric cycle in India.
On hearing the name of Patanjali, Ayurvedic medicines, household items and indigenous products come to the mind of most people. The company has made its hold in every household in the last few years. Now the same Patanjali, which is famous for giving natural and cheap products to the people, is entering the electric bicycle market.
This news has created a lot of enthusiasm among the people. Because it is expected that Patanjali’s electric cycle will be available at an affordable price compared to other expensive brands and will also give good features. Let us know in detail what can be the special features of this cycle, for whom it will prove to be most beneficial and what effect will it have on the Indian e-cycle market.
Powerful battery and long range
According to reports, lithium-ion battery will be given in Patanjali’s electric cycle. This battery will have the capacity to cover a distance of about 200 kilometers once fully charged.
- If your office is 15 kilometers away from home, then you can easily commute for 6 to 7 days by charging it once.
- People living in villages, who have to go to the farm or market 5–10 kilometers away every day, can also manage with this cycle for a week without charging it.
- It will take only 30 to 60 minutes to charge the battery. That means your cycle will be fully charged by the time you wake up in the morning and get ready.
Such a long range is seen only in expensive e-scooters and bikes these days. If Patanjali offers it at an affordable price, it will really be a big change.
Powerful motor and performance
This cycle has a 250W brushless hub motor, which will give a maximum speed of 25 kmph. This motor comes with three special riding modes –
- Eco Mode – In this, the battery is consumed the least and the cycle can cover the maximum distance.
- City Mode – For comfortable and balanced riding in the crowded city.
- Power Mode – It gives fast acceleration and better pickup.
You can ride the cycle in two ways –
- Pedal Assist Mode – When you pedal, the motor gives a little power, which reduces fatigue.
- Throttle Mode – In this, it can run like a bike without pedaling.
These features will be very useful for those who have to travel long distances daily but want to avoid petrol expenses or physical fatigue.
Smart Features – Need of the modern era
Today, people want not just a ride but a smart ride. Keeping this in mind, many new features can be given in Patanjali electric cycle.
- 3.5 inch digital display – It will have battery level, speed, trip meter and other important information.
- USB charging port – So that you can charge your mobile while on the go.
- Anti-theft lock system – Smart lock facility to prevent theft.
- Mobile holder – So that you can use navigation or keep the mobile safe.
- LED headlight and taillight – For clear light and safe journey at night.
Some reports also say that it can also have Bluetooth connectivity and music system. That means the journey will not only be easy but also fun.
Price – Friendly to the pocket of the common man
The biggest question is always how much will the price be. According to reports, the price of Patanjali’s electric cycle can be between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000.
- Most of the e-cycles available in the market today cost between Rs 20,000 and Rs 50,000.
- Some e-bikes cost more than Rs 1 lakh.
If Patanjali launches a cycle with such features for Rs 10-15 thousand, then it will be a very affordable option for the common man.
The company claims that this cycle will not only be a bicycle but will compete with a small motorcycle in many ways. Its top speed can be 40 to 45 kilometers per hour, which is enough for everyday travel.
Launch date – when will it come in the market
However, no official announcement has been made by Patanjali yet. But it is expected that this electric cycle can be launched in India by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
Patanjali’s strategy has always been a little different. Often the company first creates a buzz and then suddenly launches the product in the market. So it is also possible that this cycle will start appearing in the shops without making much noise.
Most useful for whom
- Students – This will be a cheap and safe ride for college or school going students.
- Office goers – A good option to save on petrol and get out of traffic easily.
- People from villages and small towns – To reach farms, markets or the nearest town quickly.
- Families – To fulfill daily needs like bringing groceries, dropping children, etc.
Impact on Indian e-cycle market
If Patanjali brings this electric cycle at such a cheap price, then it can prove to be a game changer for India’s e-mobility market.
- Other big companies will also have to reduce prices.
- People living in villages and small towns will be able to experience e-cycle for the first time.
- Expense on petrol and diesel will be reduced and gradually people will start using e-cycle-Will shift towards bicycles.
- There will also be a positive impact on the environment as there will be less smoke and pollution.
This situation can be similar to what Jio created in the field of internet. Earlier internet was expensive and people used it thoughtfully. But when Jio came, internet reached everyone’s pocket.
Conclusion – New ride for the common man
In short, Patanjali’s electric cycle is not just a bicycle but can become the new ride of the common man.
With affordable price, long range, powerful motor and smart features, it can give a new direction to e-mobility in India. If the company really launches this product for 10-15 thousand rupees, then it will prove to be a boon for everyone, from school going children to office going youth and village farmers.
Just as Patanjali gave indigenous options from people’s kitchen to medicine, similarly now this bicycle can improve the health of both the environment and pocket by reducing dependence on petrol-diesel on Indian roads.
