In his tweet Mr.Mahindra, the CEO of Mahindra & Mahindra, mentioned that this is not the first motorised bicycle in the world. But this is an excellent design, is compact and rugged. Its a clever design that thoughtfully has an inbuilt mobile charging point too!
One significant reason for the idea getting popular is the single bar bicycle has served as the most dependable mode of transportation in India. However, with the ongoing electrification of cars and scooters in the nation, it was time for an upgrade for this reliable old bicycle. Gursaurabh Singh, the creator and founder of Dhruv Vidyut, focussed on this most common model of cycle. He developed the stunning Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit (DVECK), which enables the common single-bar bicycle used by Indians to be converted into a motorised and battery-powered vehicle. This conversion kit (DVECK), which makes it possible to convert the common single-bar bicycle used by Indians into a motorised, battery-powered vehicle.
The kit is a complete bolt-on part, and the video also emphasised that no welding, cutting, or other modifications are necessary to make it fit. The kit’s use of aircraft-grade aluminium, which makes it lightweight and rustproof, was also highlighted in the video. Last but not least, the inventor also depicts him riding a bicycle while stating that 20 minutes of pedalling is all it takes to charge the kit to 50%. That in itself is a game changer for any villager, because despite rapid electrification under Shri Narendra Modi government in recent years, the dilapidated infrastructure results in many hours lost in maintenance and repair.
Mr.Gursaurabh Singh has also interacted with the popular show, Shark Tank India and pitched his invention DVECK – Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit.
