eBikeGo teams up with Zomato for eco-friendly food delivery
17 May 2019
eBikeGo, India’s largest electric two wheeler rental/delivery platform, has teamed up with food delivery platform Zomato to make the door-to-door service more environment-friendly.
While e-commerce and food delivery firms are rapidly switching to drones, eBikeGo initiated a mode to end delivery woes and also, saving the environment at the same time.
Besides addressing the serious environmental challenges, this green venture also aims at providing a more affordable transportation for food delivery services. The green journey has also opened doors for increased employment for those who wish to join as delivery executives but are constrained by the lack of a motorcycle or cannot afford a motorcycle because of high fuel prices, says eBikeGo.
eBikeGo will provide food delivery executives electric two-wheelers at Rs100 per day. The company plans to launch operations in all cities in which Zomato is operational by providing them with an eco friendly solution to deliver food.
Electric two wheelers run for around 90 km after an electronic charge for about 2-3 hrs and makes the daily movement zippy with a speed of 55 km/hr. Set up initially in Amritsar, eBikeGo today is successfully operating in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Ludhiana and Agra, with a total fleet of one lakh bikes in 100 cities spread across the country. The company at present uses Okinawa Ridge plus electric scooters to operate in the country's capital. However, it plans to use electric scooters which will be manufactured in-house.
With its electric two-wheeler rental services, eBikeGo is targeting travellers, students, working executives and more delivery chains. eBikeGo plans to position a minimum of 10,000 electric bikes in each metro city in India in the coming months.
Launched in 2017, eBikeGo has bagged the best Franchisable concept of the Year 2018 in Franchisee India Awards 2018.
