Meet the OMC electric bike. It means solar powered transportation for rural India.

We charge it at the Micropower Plant and our customers rent it for 50 Indian Rupees – about one US dollar – per day.

Trials are currently taking place with the bikes being used by a variety of people – including;

• Farmers who previously had to walk with their produce to and from markets
• People visiting relatives living more than a day’s walk away
• Businesses transporting goods between villages, and also from distant shops, to sell locally

It’s the future of local transportation, now in the hands of the people that need it most – at a cost everyone can afford.
