Legal Manager

Company Description:

We see ourselves as a bunch of crazy maniacs who refuse to understand "It Can Not Happen".

People know us for building the most awesome e-bikes (electric bicycles) but, how we see it is "We believe we are changing the world, one e-bike at a time, and playing a part in bringing India to the Global map for EVs." The company aims to bring across top-quality eBikes which would currently cost way more in the Indian market at an affordable price utilising its local sourcing and manufacturing capabilities.

Let's talk numbers

We are currently the market leader in India across the e-bike category.

Having grown from a team of 5 to now 250+ across the globe, from a small garage to now offices across 15 countries and clocking in INR 300+ Cr revenue in first three years of operations. We have raised series B from global investors.

We think this is a great start to our exciting journey.
