Top electric cycles in India that can help you beat daily traffic

As offices across the country are increasingly going back to the on-site work model and asking their employees to come to the office on all five days of the week, traffic woes have emerged as working professionals’ one of the biggest concerns. With heavier traffic during peak hours, it gets very challenging for people to reach the office on time especially when they are driving a four-wheeler to work or taking a cab.

People end up wasting a lot of time on the road and this can not only be tedious but also lead to fatigue, anxiety and other health problems. Heavy rainfall and waterlogging worsen the situation even further and add to the mounting traffic woes. To beat this, electric bicycles have emerged as a practical solution in the last few years.

Here are some electric bicycles in India to navigate through traffic congestion easily and commute to work every day in a convenient, cost-effective and sustainable manner -
