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.

Mahindra also said, “It’s a good reminder for all automakers focussing on disruptive EVs that THIS EV revolution may be the most important one."

As for investing in the invention, the industrialist added, “It’s not inevitable that this will succeed commercially or be substantially profitable, but I still would feel proud to be an investor…Grateful if someone can connect me with Gursaurabh."
