Now Take Electric Bike From Delhi Metro Station To Your Home

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been making plans to enhance last mile connectivity for its users. First, it was a bicycle sharing system setup at select stations and now DMRC is offering electric bikes in partnership with Yulu at a total of nine metro stations.

The confirmation came recently as the Bengaluru based ride sharing start-up for electric bikes announced the initiation of its operations in Delhi. This is not the first time that Yulu has undertaken such operations. Before Delhi, the micro mobility start-up already has made its mark in cities like Bengaluru and Navi Mumbai.

As per the partnership pact between the two, Yulu has deployed a fleet of 250 electric bikes across locations in Delhi. The e-bikes being used is the Yulu Miracle model that comes with a top speed of 25 kmph and a range of 60 km on a single charge.

As of now, Yulu services will only be available through 40 Yulu zones built across nine metro stations on both Yellow and Blue metro lines. Going forward, the plan is to increase the count of these e-bikes to around 5,000 in Delhi-NCR, within this year. By the second half of the 2020, Yulu co-founder, Amit Gupta plans to have 25,000 of these units across the region.

How to use the e-bikes

It is interesting to note that since the top speed of the e-bikes have been limited, no driving license is required for their operation. Interested users can simply download the Yulu app on their smartphones and complete the registration process.

Once the user is logged in, he or she can visit the nearest Yulu zone and unlock a Yulu e-bike using a QR code on the app.
