udChalo has launched an electric bicycle called VirBike, which is inspired by V=IR which is Ohm's law in physics and denotes the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electrical circuit. Offering sustainable and affordable transportation options for all Indians inspired by the armed forces, the electric bicycle is high-performance machine and pocket-friendly. 

Sahil Uttekar, Co-founder and R&D Head, VirBike, said, “VirBike is a high-performance electric bicycle designed to provide a comfortable and smooth ride. The bike is not only eco-friendly but also designed to withstand harsh conditions. It is IP 65 and 67 rated. With a durable lightweight frame, disc brake with electric cut off, and an adjustable seat, VirBike is also lightweight making it an ideal choice for everyday use. All parts are built in India in line with the ‘Make In India’ initiative.” 

With a low maintenance cost, the VirBike should enable a soldier to save up to 15 lakhs throughout his career. It doesn’t require a number plate, unlike any other vehicle for which ‘Faujis’ face RTO challenges with constant change in postings. With its sleek and stylish design, the bicycle is an ideal choice for the ‘civilians’ who want to make a statement while protecting the environment. Each ebike can reduce 240 kilograms of CO2 per year. 

Ravi Kumar, CEO at udChalo, mentioned, "VirBike is a proud innovation purely conceptualized and developed in India, reflecting our commitment to indigenous research and development. Our goal has always been to provide our customers with sustainable, affordable, and durable transportation options, and VirBike is a significant step towards that goal. Our mission at udChalo is to make life more comfortable for our soldiers, and the VirBike is one-step towards achieving that goal. The VirBike comes in five attractive colors, including a special Olive Green edition, exclusively available to the armed forces as a tribute to their bravery and sacrifice."
