The speeding cars around the circle made it slightly difficult to ride the cycle on the first attempt
On Saturday noon, this writer, an avid cyclist, was introduced to an electric bicycle in Bandra East. Apart from the unusually huge basket attached to its front, it resembled a typical bicycle, owing to its pedals. But instead of pedalling, we used the accelerator to move forward, much like a scooter. For the next 20 minutes, we gave India’s new electric cycle a workout in the Kalanagar neighbourhood, much to the curiosity of onlookers.
A short while before our experimental drive that began near Ambedkar Udyan circle, we met Amartya Raj, founder of RevolGo, the electric cycle. He was accompanied by a delivery boy from a nearby grocery store that was the owner of a newly purchased bike. Soon, we attempted to mount the electric cycle that is a common means of transport in Europe. We were forewarned by cyclist Vijay Malhotra, who also accompanied us, about its weight, due to the container attached to the front, which had two bags — our daily one-shouldered tote bag, and a haversack. The container had space for more such bags.
