Using the occasion of World Environment Day, Salman Khan's Foundation Being Human launches two variants in its e-bicycle range BH12 and BH27.
Established in 2007, the foundation works in the area of education and healthcare for the underprivileged. The brand also sells clothes and accessories as part of its endeavor for supporting the cause.
“I have always enjoyed cycling; it’s fantastic for leisure and sport. People often drop the idea of using cycles when they have to travel for long distance because of the efforts involved. With the launch of the e-bicycles we hope people will enjoy safe commuting and do some good as well,” says, Founder, Salman Khan.
Former Suzuki Motorcycle India - Executive VP, Atul Gupta has been roped in as the CEO, for Being Human E-cycles, “Being Human E-cycles are designed to be user-friendly and easy to manage on Indian roads. One of the main differentiators of the e-cycles is that they are likely to less need maintenance as they have fewer moving parts than conventional bicycles,” commented Gupta.
The bike launched at the price of Rs 40,000 for BH12 model and Rs 57,000 for BH27 model will have a range of 30-40 km per charge. The e-bicycle is expected to be available across the country in the next six months.
Speaking to Autocar Professional, on the future plans Gupta said, “It is important to stabilize and consolidate before we take the next step. Depending on the market response we will further decide future plans.”
