The company that has already put pressure on the telecom and broadband industries is setting their eyes on the expanding need of sustainable transportation in Indian cities as well. According to the first reports, the electric cycle would be introduced within the "Jio Mobility" segment in the first half of 2025.

By all accounts the design will be customized to Indian roads hence superior suspension and comfortability during traffic. Based on the early knowledge, the electric cycle may have a weight ranging at 20-25kg, and the potentially heaviest rider weight of up to 100 kg.
The pitching of the product is as a daily commuter e-cycle that can be used to curb reliance on two-wheelers on fuel and particularly Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Although the official specs remain cloaked, the leaked information indicates that the Jio Electric Cycle could have a range of up to 40 to 50 kilometres on full charge. The battery will be lithium-based and removable giving users the option of charging the battery on its own.
The level of charging time should be about 3-4 h of a regular home power socket. Also, it is discussed how in future upgrading solar charging support will be available.
The starting price may be 18,999 rupees
Price is one of the most discussed features of the live electricity bike that is expected. Sources at the company indicate that the starting price might be as low as 18,999 rupees and the e-cycle will be one of the cheapest ones on the market in the country. It is also said that Jio can launch easy EMI plans or pack offers with its other services such as JioFiber or Jio SIM.
This pricing model is sure to squeeze currently existing e-cycle manufacturers that already have similar products at rates beginning 25,000 and onwards.
Rollout strategy and target audience
Jio electric cycle should be launched in metros and big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai in the initial phase. The company is said to establish a specific service infrastructure and could form a liaison with local delivery services and food aggregators to drive the product into the gig economy market category.
College students and low-income urban workers are also the target group of the cycle because it provides them with a low-cost environmental-friendly mobility service.
Technical specs and App support
It is also said that the cycle will have Bluetooth-equipped technology, and users can download an application on their mobile and connect the cycle to their mobile to monitor the battery, distance travelled and detect anti-theft alerts. Simple LED indicators and headlamps should also be part of it.
