Also, the Yulu cycle and e-bike launched in the city have received a good response.

Like the Yulu cycle, the Yulu e-bike has also received a great response and the new style e-bikes are attracting everyone. But these e-bikes are starting to be parked on the road wherever they want. Sometimes these bikes are parked on the flyover and sometimes in a corner of the road, now the action is being taken against those who use the bikes wrongly in this way. The information about these bikes is received by the concerned company through a GPS tracker. So, if the e-bike is parked in the wrong place, it is immediately understood and the company brings the bike back to its place Marshall. Also, the concerned users are informed in this regard through telephone, but if they do this repeatedly, the registration ID will be closed by the company.

Due to e-bikes, pollution is also being curbed and the eagerness to ride e-bikes can be seen among the youth. Those who have previously downloaded and registered the Yulu app. They can use these new e-bikes. But the concerned company has informed us that action is now being taken against those who park e-bikes in the wrong places. Bangalore is the first place to launch the e-bike system in the country and Navi Mumbai was the second city in the country and the first in Maharashtra to launch the e-bike system. Now it is getting more and more and e-bikes are being used more. However, those who use these e-bikes indiscriminately will now face penal action and the registration number of the person will be cancelled.

At present, 346 e-bikes are kept in the city. E-bikes are being used well in the city and on the other hand, there are ways to park e-bikes wherever needed. Therefore, the company is paying proper attention to them and such persons are being notified by phone if they repeat such mistakes, the registration of that person will be cancelled. Therefore, citizens need to take proper care, said Yulu E-Bikes Manager Vikas Shinde.

On the one hand, e-bikes are widely used in the city and this company is running this public cycle system in various cities including Navi Mumbai. But recently there has been a case of stealing e-bikes from Mumbai city and taking them to Nashik. But as the GPS provides information about where each e-bike goes, the relevant person has been found in Nashik and the process of taking legal action against him is going on at BKC. Therefore, e-bikes should be used according to the rules. Also, parking e-bikes anywhere is going to be very expensive for the citizens so as not to deface the city.
