Industrialist Anand Mahindra has taken an interest in the Dhruv Vidyut Electric Conversion Kit (DVECK), an innovative device created by Gursaurabh Singh. Anand Mahindra shared a video on Twitter about the innovation of the motorised cycle with his followers
The DVECK system allows a bicycle to be converted into an electric two-wheeler capable of 25 km/h. Anand wrote, “This has been doing the #Signal rounds the last few days. Not the first device in the world to motorise a cycle. But this is an outstanding design — compact & efficient, rugged - loved the working in mud, making it an off-roader, safe and savvy — a phone charging port."
Converted electric cycles have a range of 40 kilometres and a payload capacity of 170 kg. Fireproof and waterproof qualities are also demonstrated in the video.
