Image : Ultraviolette F77 This all-new product is expected to get a price tag of around ₹29,999-₹30,000 and is set to offer an astounding 400 km range per charge, making it one of the most cost effective forms of personal transport available in the market.
New Affordable Electric Mobility
There are reports from the middle of 2025 that Jio has plans to release an electric bicycle for urban taxi going commuters along with rural customers in search of a budget and sustainable transportation solution. Despite no official release date, trade sources believe that a launch will take place before the end of 2019.
The prelaunch buzz promises a battery that can power the car up to 400 km on a charge, which figures to be some kind of landmark at this price point. Few electric scooters or cycles in India currently offer this range under ₹50,000.According to observers, what makes the Jio offering interesting is that there are not many technology products in the market where you can depend on (in terms of quality and durability) at such a low price!
Key Features and Specifications
According to several reports, and teasers via announcements across platforms:
Price: Estimated ₹29,999 to ₹30,000—aggressively competitive pricing. A rough estimate is ₹30,000 for the modelfull feature-set model.

Market Impact and User Benefits
Here's how the Jio Electric Cycle 2025 might democratize e-mobility in India with:
Budget Access to Electric Travel
At about ₹30,000, it’s significantly cheaper than many of its rivals. While most electric scooters in the market are priced at ₹1 lakh or more, this e-bike makes mobility accessible to a larger section of the society.
Fuel Savings and Environmental Gains
With that number, one would save quite a lot of fuel after 400 km on one charge. Users will reduce monthly transportation costs and carbon emissions — a win for sustainability.
Tech-Driven Safety and Connectivity
Expected features such as GPS tracking and anti-theft alerts will also help to ensure urban and rural riders are safe, whilst connected through Jio’s digital ecosystem.
Enhancement of Rural Connectivity and Livelihoods
Cheap electric cycles could offer last-mile delivery solutions and help small businesses or delivery services in less-connected areas.
Challenges and Unknowns
Keep the excitement building, but there's still plenty that is unclear:
Official Availability Date: Not officially announced by company sources, the 2025 date is still speculation.
Free Real-World Range Validation: Industry watchers sound the alarm of manufacturer-quoted range figures; your results may vary depending on usage, terrain, payload and environmental condition.
Charging Time and Infrastructure: It remained unclear as of yet how long it will take for a full charge, and to which charging ecosystem Jio is pegging its money on. Charging infrastructure could be a significant play there, working with Jio-BP or TVS.
After-Sales: Service Center and battery warranty will much influence user adoption – Details not available.
Competition for Other Indian Electric Vehicle
While not an electric scooter like TVS iQube or Ather, but the Jio cycle is squarely aimed at the ultra-affordable segment and has nothing to do with premium e-scooters above ₹80,000. For instance, TVS iQube Electric now gives ≈ 100 km range and top speed ~78 km/h (both with low power mode enabled), costs > ₹1 lakh—much more with bigger battery-pack options.
However, if the Jio Electric Cycle even delivers on half that promise of 400 km and is capable of running at basic urban speeds of 25–30 km/h without breaking down every leap year, then there would be no taking away from its claiming to such a ‘hybrid’ status as an everyday city commuter bike, and not scooter, while offering an unparalleled fuel efficiency all packaged inside said MSRP.
What Consumers Should Know
It's not commercially available yet. All the details are still tentative, though, until Jio officially releases it.
The basics Functionality-wise, you can expect smart features but not necessarily high-end ones — don’t be surprised if the likes of fast charging or high-grit motors fail to live up to premium rivals.
Key unknowns include battery longevity and servicing. Open questions on battery chemistry, life-cycle, replacement cost and servicing.
Be aware of real-world limitations. It's not totally clear what the 400 km of range really means yet, but it may be a somewhat best-case estimated test cycle number and you can expect less under everyday driving.
Why It Matters Now
Electric two wheeler are becoming more and more popular with the high fuel prices, increasing traffic problem as well as serious damage to environment. Jio’s entry with a ₹30K ultra-value e-bike is an indication that large corporate players are now also opening up to mass market opportunities away from expensive scooters. A successful entry could be a catalyst for adoption in small towns and villages across the country.
The cost competitiveness, alongside connectivity and longer range seem to be in line with what India seeks for cleaner mobility and rural electrification. If done right, this model could be one of the best-selling electric cycles in the country by late 2025 or early 2026.

Outlook and Industry Context
Indian two-wheeler landscape is poised to change with electric affordable models growing at a frantic pace. A new iQube variant with a higher than ₹1 lakh (₹100,000) price and 123 km range aimed at urban professionals was launched by TVS Motor in July 2025. Jio’s entry, at sub-Rs 30,000 levels would target a totally different spec group i.e., students, rural commuters and gig-economy delivery boys and value conscious riders.
The Jio Electric Cycle might also draw on something already in a works, toward setting up ‘charging infra’ across villages and small towns which could be tied with Jio-BP along with other partners. Connectivity features built-in through Jio's own mobile and IoT platforms could serve to further fortify its attractiveness.
Conclusion
Jio’s upcoming Electric Cycle 2025 is all set to disrupt the electric mobility sector in India. Priced provocatively at ₹30,000 and claiming a bold 400 km range, it is aimed straight at the millions who have been locked out of e-vehicle revolution till now by prohibitive costs. Final specs, service support, performance and the rest are all up in the air but at least the notion that a big corporate is willing to bring such value to the game tells you something.
If true, Jio Electric Cycle could potentially be one of the largest uses of e-mobility in India by the end of the year. Stay tuned to see the official unveiling numbers and specs in order to know if this enjoys real world use, a charging network (and for how many years).
