Question 1

What exactly are you building?

Accepted Answer

I’ve built a DIY e-bike conversion kit that transforms a regular bicycle into an electric one—at a fraction of the cost of commercial e-bikes. It includes a motor, battery, throttle, and a custom-designed portable charging unit powered by a dynamo.

Question 2

How is your kit different from existing options?

Accepted Answer

Most existing kits are imported and expensive. I have locally sourced parts, kept a low-cost, and created a modular design, making it more accessible and affordable. My kit also includes a unique USB charging feature, allowing users to charge phones and other small devices while riding.

Question 3

Who is this e-bike kit meant for?

Accepted Answer

This kit is designed especially for blue-collar workers such as domestic helpers, delivery agents, or street vendors –people who rely on bicycles for daily commutes but can't afford commercial e-bikes.

Question 4

Can I buy or sponsor a kit?

Accepted Answer

Kits are not on sale yet, but you can sponsor one! If you’d like to directly support a blue-collar worker by funding a kit for them, your contribution will go toward building and installing one to someone who truly needs it. I’ll keep sponsors updated on who receives the kit and how it impacts their daily life.

Question 5

What’s the end goal of this project?

Accepted Answer

To make e-biking accessible to everyone, regardless of income. I want to offer affordable mobility solutions that also support sustainability and energy independence at a grassroots level.

Question 6

Can I see the prototype?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I will be sharing photo and video updates throughout the campaign. Supporters will be able to track the distribution and testing phase with real users.

Question 7

Is this product road-safe and legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, my prototype kit follows typical e-bike safety norms. It does not exceed speed limits that would require licensing in India. No permanent modification is made to the bike frame, preserving the bike's original structural integrity.

Question 8

How will funds be used?

Accepted Answer

Your contributions will help me:
•Build and install kits to distribute to blue-collar workers
•Improve the mounting system for the battery and ignition switch
