Patanjali Electric Cycle Launch: 400km Range and 55kmph Top Speed For Only ₹3,499
Now in a surprise move which can change the game, Patanjali has said that they will launch their first-ever Electric Cycle in India, and the price is mind-boggling: Rs 3,499. This wallet-friendly e-cycle offers a claimed riding range of 400 km per charge and can top out at 55 km/h, turning it into one of the hot talking electric mobility products in India currently. The news has sparked a huge flurry of interest across social media and the EV community.
Patanjali Steps into Electric Mobility
Herbal and FMCG manufacturer, Patanjali has now forayed into electric vehicle space. The move also demonstrates the company’s dedication towards sustainable, affordable and eco-friendly mobility solutions for the masses.
According to the sources, Patanjali Electric Cycle has been developed and made in India that also goes well with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India and Green Energy programmes. If the details around features and pricing are indeed to hold true, this electric cycle can give a tough fight to Hero Electric, EMotorad, and Nexzu among others in India’s growing EV market.
Unbelievable Price of ₹3,499
There is some good amount of chit-chat that been done on Patanjali’s Electric Cycle and the only thing that makes people go gaga over it, is the price tag — ₹3,499. For the majority of people, this price point sounds practically too good to be true — even basic bicycles in India generally cost more than that.
And in early coverage at least, the company has suggested it was able to keep costs down through domestic production of critical components and design that makes it equally adaptable for use in the countryside or city. Patanjali is also said to be collaborating with local players to provide spare parts at reasonable prices.

Design and Build Quality
The Patanjali Electric Cycle is said to come with a basic and tough look with an emphasis on utility over extravagance. The frame is intended to manage city streets and semi-rural conditions. The seat is range of adjustability and the handlebar is designed for comfort on longer rides.
The company plans to offer the cycle in a range of colours, targeting young commuters and slightly older riders looking for cheap daily transports.
Charging and Battery Life
Patanjali’s electric cycle will apparently come sporting a lithium-ion battery offering fast charging capabilities. Users are able to plug it into an ordinary home socket, and they do not require any special charging infrastructure. The 400 km range, if true, would be one of the best in class — much more than competitors that commonly tout a range between 40 km and 120 km per charge.
The battery is estimated to last approximately 1,000 charge cycles, so users could ride it for many years with nominal maintenance expenses.
Performance and Speed
It's good going for a bike that costs this little, and it tops out at a maximum speed of 55 km/h. Its dual-mode of riding (pedal assist and throttle) is what makes it versatile. That switch between power modes makes sense if you’re in a city and want quick throttle mode, or easing off the battery by switching to pedal assist away from buildings or for longer stretches.
Testers who have ridden early versions of the cycle are said to appreciate its balance and low weight, finding it relatively easy to handle for beginners.
Target Market
Patanjali’s foray into the electric cycle space seems aimed at daily commuters, students, delivery boys and fitness enthusiasts who seek affordable transportation options. The company may also focus on small towns and rural areas where fuel prices and maintenance are top of mind.
With relatively low pricing, this electric cycle might be the link between common pedalling cycles and expensive e-scooters.
Environmental Impact
An electric cycle at such an affordable price could help lower India’s carbon footprint. E-cycles do not release harmful gases and use much lesser energy than petrol or diesel-driven vehicles.
If it is implemented on a large scale, this project has potential to reduce the air pollution in cities and make them cleaner.
Booking and Availability
According to initial reports, the Patanjali Electric Cycle is likely to be available for booking in the near future at all the brand's official stores and several dealers throughout India. The silhouette will also likely be available online in the next few weeks.
The cycle could possibly be pre-booked by customers at a token amount and, deliveries are expected to take place soon after the official launch. But there is a still no official word from Patanjali.
Market Reactions and Public Response
The news has the internet abuzz with interest and intrigue. There is curiosity among people if ₹3,499 price includes the battery and the motor or there are some additional hidden costs to be incurred.
Patanjali has claimed that the bike will have a top speed of 120 km/h, and if they manage to deliver these numbers at this price, some industry experts think it could change the game in India’s electric mobility space.
Possible Challenges
Despite the strong buzz, however, there are a couple of worries. Providing a 400 km range is what seems difficult technically currently that too at ₹3,499. Some experts are wondering if this could be a no-frills model without the bells and whistles, or if the price is just for an initial batch or promotion.
Even so, the entry of a major Indian brand such as Patanjali in this field lends credibility to the emerging electric revolution.
