Running Cost Breakdown: Petrol vs Electric
Let's examine real-world numbers comparing a standard 110cc petrol scooter against a Voltebyk electric cycle over a daily 20 km round-trip commute (600 km monthly):
Petrol Scooter Costs:
- Fuel Efficiency: ~40 km/liter at ₹102/liter = ₹2.55 per km.
- Monthly Fuel Bill: 600 km × ₹2.55 = ₹1,530 / month.
- Annual Maintenance (Engine oil, spark plugs, belt): ~₹4,000 / year.
- Mandatory Insurance & RTO Fees: ~₹2,500 / year.
- Total 5-Year Ownership Expenses: Fuel (₹91,800) + Maintenance (₹20,000) + RTO/Insurance (₹12,500) = ₹1,24,300+.
Voltebyk Electric Cycle Costs:
- Electricity Consumption: 0.3 units per charge (35 km range) @ ₹7/unit = ₹0.06 per km.
- Monthly Electricity Bill: 600 km × ₹0.06 = ₹36 / month!
- Maintenance (Brake pads, chain lube): ~₹800 / year via our spares store.
- RTO & Insurance Fees: ₹0 (Legally exempt for 250W / 25 km/h non-motorized vehicles).

Understanding Voltebyk 250W BLDC Technology & Engineering
Every Voltebyk electric bicycle and conversion kit is engineered specifically for Indian road conditions and weather extremes. At the core of our propulsion system is a high-torque 250W Brushless DC (BLDC) hub motor that delivers instantaneous acceleration without heat buildup or mechanical friction. Paired with a 36V detachable Lithium-ion battery pack (available in 7.8Ah and 9Ah variants), Voltebyk e-bikes offer an impressive range of up to 35 km to 50 km per single charge.
Our intelligent 5-level Pedal Assist System (PAS) uses cadence sensors to monitor your pedaling effort seamlessly, supplying motor power exactly when needed on steep flyover inclines or headwinds. Additionally, all Voltebyk electrical components—including the motor, controller, battery casing, and LED display—are rated IP65 water-resistant. This ensures total peace of mind when riding through heavy Indian monsoons or dusty terrain.
