The Future :
As the Mahindra Managing director praises Gursaurabh Bhai’s “empathy and passion for those hard working people for whom the humble cycle is still the primary mode of transport”. He also reminds the established “automakers focussing on disruptive EVs that this EV revolution may be the most important one”. Anandji’s eager wish to be a part of the revolution is surely a welcome news for Gursaurabh bhai who also expresses his eagerness to meet with him who has always inspired and supported new inventors. From small businessmen to hawkers and for students and travellers, this conversion kit will surely be a boon. The future of billions of bicycles and tricycles and their riders on the ordinary roads of India is dreaming of an electric change sooner than ever.
The DVECK kit is still in it’s research and development stage and it will take some time to make it commercially available for the common people of the country. We pledge our sincerest support and love to Gursaurabh Bhai to produce this kit a reality to every rural and urban commoners as soon as possible.
