Hero Electric came forward with a great proposition and customizations that we were looking in e-scooters to serve our partners in a much better way with speed, suspension, batteries and warranties which are key to our business. The new Nyx is a great product for commercial purposes and we intend to deploy an initial fleet of 1000 E Scooters in next 5 months. Equipped with their trained & highly penetrated service network, it will help us expand at a much faster rate.
