On r/indianbikes:

“Forget the apple ecosystem. We cooking with the jio ecosystem now.”

However, some mention concerns:

“not OC. Low quality Chinese manufactured products”

On r/ElectricBikes:

“Is the Jio Electric Cycle hitting the streets soon?” – fans are still waiting for availability.

From r/TechPop (on the MediaTek digital cluster):

“Real-time data, smart features, and seamless integration … a game‑changer for the Indian 2‑wheeler EV market.”

And some have concerns about build quality:

“Low quality Chinese made products “

• Comes with an embedded Jio Things + MediaTek smart digital cluster, providing real-time ride information and connectivity to Jio’s digital ecosystem .
• Live firmware updates, vehicle traceability, and even access to Jio Payments through the bike’s system are provided with 4G/5G LTE connectivity .

• The ride analytics, GPS geofencing, anti-theft alerts, and even social/group ride management are offered through the JioMobility or MyJio Cycle app.
• Ownership choices have both outright buy and subscription-based models (with maintenance, battery swap, insurance packaged) .

• Leaked information indicates a 36 V 10.4 Ah lithium-ion battery pack with an in-use range of 40–60 km between charges, with a full charge time of 3–4 hr .

• Removable and possibly swappable battery packs come as part of the system, supporting users who commute without having charging availability.

• Jio has a 5-year frame warranty, 3-year motor/controller, and 5-year battery protection—much better than most competitors.
• Maintenance schedule: complimentary at 3 months/1,000 km, then nominal fees every 6 months or annual major service.

• Reliance’s wide retail network provides service centers in main cities, along with doorstep service in selected zones .
• A “tree-per-bike” plan and battery recycling initiative are also available.

• Zero emissions, extremely silent (< 40 dB), with over 85% energy efficiency and supportive of solar charging configurations .
• Far lower lifetime costs than petrol vehicles—approximately ₹42,500 over 5 years compared to ₹210,000 for a petrol bike .

 The e‑cycle is constructed on four guiding pillars: connectivity, smart performance, user empowerment, and sustainability—reimagining the way we commute with technology and green innovation.

With a Jio‑MediaTek IoT cluster and LTE connectivity, the e‑cycle remains connected wherever you go. Over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure that enhancements—be it enhanced ride performance or enhanced security—can be pushed remotely, without any visit to a service center.

The “MyJio Cycle” mobile app puts you in complete command at your fingertips:

• Real-time ride tracking
• Remote locking/unlocking
• Detailed ride statistics—distance covered, average speed, energy consumption, and previous routes

You have real-time insights and control over each journey.

With a powerful 36 V/10.4 Ah lithium-ion battery, enjoy a consistent 40–60 km range—sufficient for daily trips, errands, or casual outings. It gets a full recharge within 3–4 hours.
With intelligent IoT-capable battery management, it optimizes efficiency and lifespan, ensuring it runs reliably at optimal capacity.

• Frame warranty: 5 years
• Motor warranty: 3 years
• Battery warranty: 5 years

When you add usage, maintenance, and add-ons, the five-year total cost of running it is a mere ₹42,000—just ₹210,000 for a petrol bike. That’s huge savings with the added confidence.

Having a vast service network means assistance is always around the corner. Battery swap stations will soon enable you to promptly swap drained batteries rather than waiting for a charge—saving time and trouble.

• Zero tailpipe emissions for cleaner air
• Solar-ready charging, promoting renewable energy
• Tree planting program: each purchase helps reforest, offset emissions, and encourage environmental renewal

This e-cycle is not only a bicycle—it’s a smart, connected, green mobility solution. OTA updates keep it at the forefront, the app places you in command, the battery provides real-world capability, service and guarantees keep you covered, and each ride you make contributes to more environmentally friendly initiatives. Collectively, it presents an engaging, green alternative to conventional petrol two-wheelers.
