It informs that it has closed master franchises of Rugged in three states - Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra. It has also established 22 dealerships.

Moving forward, eBikeGo expects the pace of bookings to remain quick, especially because of the ongoing festive season. "It is India's most environmentally friendly, intelligent, and durable electric moto-scooter, which will change the direction of e-mobility in the country and push the frontiers of innovation in the electric bike category," said Irfan Khan, Founder of and CEO at eBikeGo.

The company states that it is targeting 50,000 bookings in the upcoming months. For Diwali, Rugged has also been launched in four new colour options - Red, Blue, Black and Rugged Special Edition.
