Pune, April 21, 2023: udChalo, a leading consumer tech firm, launched a path breaking electric bicycle named “VirBike“. The company has introduced this eco-friendly vehicle to offer sustainable and affordable transportation options for all Indians inspired by the armed forces. The name “VIR” is inspired by V=IR which is Ohm’s law in physics. It denotes the relationship between “voltage, current and resistance” in an electrical circuit. Also ‘VIR’ is said to be someone who is ‘brave’ and ‘courageous’ like our soilders.
Speaking about the E-Bike, Mr. Sahil Uttekar, Co-founder R&D Head, VirBike said, “VirBike” is a high-performance electric bicycle designed to provide a comfortable and smooth ride. The bike is not only eco-friendly but also designed to withstand harsh conditions. It is Ip rated 65 and 67. With a durable lightweight frame, disc brake with electric cut off, and an adjustable seat, VirBike is also lightweight making it an ideal choice for everyday use. All parts are built in India in line with the hon’ble PM’s ‘Make In India’ initiative.”
In addition to being durable, VirBike is also pocket-friendly. It is an affordable mode of transportation, and its low maintenance cost makes it an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers. An E-Bike will enable a soldier save up to 15 lakhs throughout his career. Moreover it doesn’t require a number plate, unlike any other vehicle for which ‘Fauji’s’ face RTO challenges with constant change in postings. With its sleek and stylish design, the bicycle is an ideal choice for people who want to make a statement while protecting the environment. Each ebike can reduce 240 kilograms of CO2 per year. Customers can now own the VirBike under the easy finance option available on the website.
Speaking about the launch, Ravi Kumar, CEO at udChalo, said, “VirBike is a proud innovation purely conceptualized and developed in India, reflecting our commitment to indigenous research and development. Our goal has always been to provide our customers with sustainable, affordable, and durable transportation options, and VirBike is a significant step towards that goal. Our mission at udChalo is to make life more comfortable for our soldiers, and the VirBike is one-step towards achieving that goal. The VirBike comes in five attractive colors, including a special Olive Green edition, exclusively available to the armed forces as a tribute to their bravery and sacrifice.”
