If you’ve been looking for an electric bicycle that’s affordable, equipped with smart features, and reliable, the wait is finally over. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved is making a strong entry into the electric mobility segment. Patanjali is reportedly launching an electric bicycle with a long range, short charging time, and advanced features.

This bicycle is expected to feature a lithium-ion battery, capable of delivering a comfortable ride of 80 to 100 kilometers on a single charge. Its premium variant could have a range of 180 to 250 kilometers. It could be equipped with a 250W to 350W brushless motor, providing a smooth and eco-friendly ride at speeds of up to 25 km/h.
