Electric bicycles classifications, history & development 

Electric Vehicles India

The ICE vehicles are one of the main causes of polluting the environment, the exhaust emissions of internal combustion engines such as hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM), the need for alternate energy methods is greater than ever. Lead-acid battery. Pure electric bicycles.

Rising Fuel Prices Have Imparted A Potent Boost To The Indian Electric Scooter Market

Get Electric Vehicle

In India, ICE scooters with internal combustion engines (ICE) account for roughly 70% of overall gasoline use. Despite the fact that electric scooters and bikes are more expensive than those powered by internal combustion engines, things are changing. The country requires both policy-induced encouragement and the lure of incentives.
