Yulu charges ₹10 as a basic fee and after that ₹10 per every 10 minutes. If the ride is paused, it charges ₹5 per 10 minutes. They also have discount saver packs for 2 hours, 3 hours, and 6 hours for a one day journey.

Review of the Yulu Electric Bike:

The Yulu bike is low energy and easy to drive. It is a slow bike, so one doesn’t need license to ride it. Even though Yulu bike is comparatively expensive as compared to the local transport, you can ride up to 60 kilometers on a full electric charge. This service is best for introverts or in the pandemic because you have minimal contact with other people. Furthermore, it is an electric bike, thus, it has no noise or air pollution and is very eco-friendly.

But as much as this is a great service, there are downsides to it. The maintenance of the bike isn’t up to the required standard. There are no shock-ups to ensure a smooth ride which are absolutely necessary for Indian roads. The speed limit on this bike is 25km/hr so even the shortest distances can take forever to reach. Finally, to end the ride, you must park only at a Yulu Zone.

In conclusion, this start-up is a grand idea but some improvements are necessary to make it accommodated to Indian roads and people.
