The sales of e-bikes around the world have been surging over the last year, as people are reluctance to use public transport and shared mobility due to Covid, along with the practice of social distancing, the company said. 

With the launch of the Skellig Lite, GoZero has taken its first step into its Switch Campaign – one kick-started with the objective to drive the major chunk of Indian city-dwellers to ‘switch’ to from their current mode of transport to e-bikes, the company said.  

Pollution, obesity and high stress, among numerous other ailments, have become an inevitable parasite on the lives of the urban population. As observed and studied across the world, e-bikes have proven to have massive impacts on the health and well-being of the riders, it added. 

Talking about the popularity of the Skellig Lite, GoZero CEO Ankit Kumar said, “With the onset of the pandemic and the second wave, people have begun taking Covid restrictions and their own health much more seriously than ever before. E-bikes strike the right cord in offering an economic means of private urban transport that provides daily fitness and safety from Covid-related risks.”  

“The introductory pricing of the Skellig Lite, makes it easy for beginners to take up this new mode and to integrate with their lifestyle. In fact, all our three variants of the Skellig – Skellig, Skellig Lite and Skellig Pro are well received by the Indian market with sales picking up on a month-on-month basis, each catering to their target segment with their respective USPs,” he added.
