Electric cycles are a newer category for many Indian cycle shops. Before you add them, it helps to be realistic about who buys them and what they need from you afterwards.
Who buys an e-cycle
Typical buyers are commuters with a medium daily distance, older riders who want help on hills or longer rides, and customers who want something between a cycle and a scooter. Their questions are about range, charging and service, so your shop needs answers.
What a dealer should check before stocking
- Battery and motor warranty, and who handles claims
- Availability of spare parts and chargers
- Whether you or the manufacturer will do service and repairs
- Local rules on electric cycles and speed limits
- How much floor space and working capital you can commit to a slower-moving category
A sensible way to start
Add a small number of electric models alongside your regular range, learn what your customers ask for, then expand. Keep your core range of kids, geared and everyday cycles, since they carry the shop.
