E-bike market globally is touted to cross $38.6 billion in 2025, AlphaVector looks to cater to that growing segment in India with it’s latest offering
AlphaVector, a homegrown startup championing the cause of Cycling and Active Lifestyle in India, has launched its first e-bicycle in India – Meraki by Ninety One.
Launched within the price of 30,000/-, the e-bicycle requires no license and is aimed at encouraging millennial’s and Gen-Z to reclaim the outdoors by leveraging the growing e-bike market in India. With this launch, the company taps into the rapidly growing Indian electric 2-wheeler segment.
The pandemic induced inclination towards cycling as a lifestyle necessity has further acted as a catalyst for the segment. Recently, AlphaVector witnessed a 2.5x growth in its Monthly Revenue Rate (MRR) in the last 6 months (March – September 2020) and a 15% demand-fill rate. It plans to meet its target of 300 CR ARR (annual revenue rate) next year by ramping up supplies over the next few months.
‘Ninety One’ is inspired by India’s rich history and embodies its action-oriented and constantly evolving spirit. ‘Ninety One’ enables you to leap into an active lifestyle, breaking away from a sedentary way of life becoming a symbol of positive change in the lives of Indians. AlphaVector is backed by Fireside Ventures, Avaana Capital and Titan Capital.
Mr Vishal Chopra, Co-Founder, AlphaVector, said, “We are excited to announce the launch of our flagship e-bicycle in India, which we believe is going through a Cycling Revolution. While the pandemic has piqued consumer interest in bicycles, innovation and customer-centricity will be the game-changers in this industry. With the launch of this e-bicycle, we are pedalling the extra mile for each of our riders in an effort to make their every ride better than the last. We also aim to contribute to the adoption of e-bicycles in India in line with the Government’s initiative of introducing smart mobility and ultimately build smarter and sustainable cities for citizens”.
