Jio is reportedly stepping into India’s electric bicycle space. The goal: to offer eco-friendly, smart, and affordable commuting for everyday riders.
Here’s everything we know (and what’s still speculation):
Battery & Range
- The expected battery is lithium-ion, and rumors suggest a range of over 200 km on a single charge.
- Fast charging may let you fully charge in 45 to 90 minutes.
- These figures aren’t confirmed by Jio yet — they’re based on media reports and leaks.
Performance & Top Speed
- The model is expected to reach around 50 km/h, making it suitable for city rides and light suburban travel.
- With a balanced motor and battery system, the aim is consistent performance without frequent stops for charging.
Smart Features & Safety
Jio’s e-bike is said to bring many modern features:
| Feature | Purpose / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Front & rear disc brakes | More reliable braking |
| Digital display (speed, battery, time) | Easy to read info |
| Bluetooth / mobile app | Remote control, stats, settings |
| GPS navigation | Helps with route finding |
| Keyless start / anti-theft | Better security |
| USB charging port | Charge your phone or devices |
| Music connectivity | Ride with your favorite tracks |
These features would bring it in line with other smart electric two-wheelers. Jio has earlier announced work with Mediatek to offer smart modules for EVs. Jio

- More credible leaks hint at a ₹30,000 price point as a possibility. Instagram
- No official launch date yet. Some expect reservations to begin during festivals or New Year promotions.
What to Watch Out For
- Real range in city traffic can differ from claimed range.
- Quality of components (brakes, frame, suspension) will matter a lot.
- Charging infrastructure and service support will be key for adoption.
- After-sales support, spare parts, and app stability will influence user trust.
Conclusion
Jio’s entrance into the electric bicycle market could shake up India’s green mobility scene. If the specs — 200 km range, smart features, decent speed — turn out to be real, it could become a strong choice for urban commuters. But until Jio confirms officially, treat these numbers as hopeful. We’ll keep watching and update as new, confirmed information comes in.
