Reliance Jio, known for its disruptive approach in the telecom industry, is reportedly set to enter the electric vehicle market with a budget-friendly electric bicycle.
Though unconfirmed by the company, viral social media buzz suggests a launch by 2025, with a jaw-dropping 400 km range and a starting price of Rs 30,000.
Reports suggest that the Jio electric bicycle may offer an impressive range of up to 400 km on a single charge, making it one of the most practical choices for daily commuting and long-distance travel.The estimated price, as per social media buzz, is expected to be between Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000, making it an affordable option for a wide audience.
Key Features of Bio E-Bicycle
The Jio electric bicycle is likely to be equipped with a removable lithium-ion battery known for its efficiency and durability. The battery is expected to support fast charging, reducing downtime and making it convenient for users. Other expected features include:
Smooth acceleration and multiple riding modes (Eco, Normal, Sport)2. Digital instrument cluster displaying speed, battery level, and trip details3. LED lighting system for better visibility and energy efficiency4. Smart connectivity features like GPS tracking, Bluetooth, and mobile app integration
If launched with these specifications, the Jio electric bicycle could significantly impact the Indian e-mobility sector by:

A rumour At Best?
Industry experts question the feasibility of a 400 km range at this price as current technology makes such specs unlikely without breakthroughs in battery efficiency or subsidies.Further, concerns also linger about charging infrastructure, battery replacement costs, and durability.
Jio’s Disruptive Potential
Despite scepticism, Jio’s history of market shakeups (like slashing data prices in telecom) keeps hopes alive. Even if the final product falls short of rumours, a competitively priced e-bike could pressure rivals to innovate.
