Environmentalists around the world are working round the clock to avert any crisis. Leading from the front in his own way, Mr Vamsi Gaddam, the Founder of Automobile Private Limited, has launched Atum 1.0 – an electric bike.
According to the pioneer himself, it took three years of hard work and a vision to introduce a sustainable way to commute. “We’re extremely delighted to
launch the Atum 1.0. This vehicle is suited to address the ambitions of Indian customers, while serving purpose, style, and comfort. We believe that Atum 1.0
is an important milestone in our larger commitment towards transforming India into a sustainable and environmentally responsible nation,” says Mr Vamsi.
Further elaborating on how Atum 1.0 can be the face of sustainable commuting he explains,”The Atum 1.0 has claimed a range of 100 km on a single charge. The 250 W electric motor delivers a top speed of 25 kmph. The Atum 1.0 is approved by the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) and does not need to be registered, and neither does the person riding it require a driving licence.”
Powered by a lithium ion battery, the Atum 1.0 has a space-saving configuration and offers a range that outperforms other electric bikes in the market. The Atum 1.0 is priced at Rs.50,000, is powered by a 48V, 18.6 Ah portable lithium ion battery pack that charges in under 4 hours.
