e-bike - Miles to go

You might watch lot of advertisements (travel for 10 paise per kilometer, no petrol, eco friendly, no RTO registration, No license, stylish body, attractive colours, light weight) for e-bikes in Sivakasi. Due to big fluctuations in petrol price, thousands of people in Sivakasi brought e-bike. They are not always what they claim. The pick up is too low and riding it in road is risky. On one charge most of the e-bike owners are able to achieve 10-15kms only. Batteries and motors are the life and soul of e-bikes. Have to change battery once in six months and motor in 2 years and that too very costlier. But life of an e-bike is just one year only and it wont work any more. Most of the e-bike showrooms in Sivakasi were disappeared. Those who brought these e-bikes placed it in the corner of their houses and some use it as slipper and shoe stands. Even new e-bike branded companies promises longer life for battery and motor, Sivakasians are keen to prefer in buying petrol mopeds and bikes. Try before you buy and dont buy blind. E-bikes are e-wastes. E-bike needs miles to go to make its customer smile.
