THE HEADLINE

They Didn't Launch an Electric Vehicle Company. They Launched an Affordable Electric Revolution — One Bike at a Time.

THE ONE-LINE SUMMARY

Aggarwal EV built Alter Bikes — a D2C electric cycle brand — to make clean, powerful, affordable electric riding accessible to every Indian, from the daily commuter who needs relief from petrol costs to the cycling enthusiast who wants to convert their old bike into a smart electric machine.

THE PROBLEM THEY SAW

India's EV two-wheeler market was growing fast — but in the wrong direction for most buyers.

Premium electric bikes were getting more expensive. Budget options were unreliable — motors that gave up in six months, batteries that lost range within a year, products that looked good in an advertisement and fell apart in real use. The middle ground — genuinely good electric cycles at prices a salaried professional, a student, or a family could actually afford — was empty.

Aggarwal EV stepped into that gap.

Not with flashy branding or VC funding. With a D2C Shopify store, a clear product philosophy, and a commitment to delivering quality at honest prices directly to riders' doorsteps.

The mission, written on their own website: "committed to the mission of modifying and delivering satisfactory products with a commitment to quality and care of every budget."

That sentence drives every product decision Alter Bikes makes.

WHAT THEY BUILT

Four product lines. One purpose — make electric riding practical for everyone.

🚲 Electric Cycles — 104 Models

The flagship range. Full e-cycles for every rider type, budget, and terrain — 95% pre-assembled with charger included, ride-ready within minutes of unboxing. Up to 50% off MRP. Free shipping. Delivered across India.

Best Sellers:

The 005 PRO with its 36V 500W BLDC motor was specifically designed for North India's hilly terrain — the first affordable e-cycle that actually handles gradient roads without struggling.

For riders in Shimla, Mussoorie, Dharamsala, and Nainital, this model alone solves a problem no competitor had bothered to address at this price point.

The HANZOR Kids range — 20" wheels, 24V 250W motor, lithium-ion inbuilt battery — makes electric cycling accessible from childhood, not just adulthood.

⚙️ Hub Motor Kits — 27 Models (₹7,950–₹16,000)

This is where Alter Bikes becomes genuinely interesting.

You don't need to buy a new cycle. You can electrify the one you already love.

Alter's hub motor kit range lets any rider convert their existing bicycle into a fully functional e-bike — with everything included: motor wheel, controller, display, PAS sensor, throttle, and wiring harness.

Key kits:

Installation videos on the Alter Bikes YouTube channel make the conversion genuinely DIY-friendly — no workshop visit needed, no technical background required.

🔋 Batteries & Chargers — 17 Products

Soft Pack Batteries and Hailong Case Batteries across multiple voltage and capacity options — from compact 7.8Ah packs for short daily commutes to 15.6Ah packs for extended range riding.

Fast chargers matched to each specification. All lithium-ion.

🔧 Electronic Spare Parts

Spokes, free wheels, gear sets, and accessories — the complete aftercare ecosystem that keeps an Alter Bike running for years.

Because a good electric cycle deserves good long-term support.

THE STRATEGY THAT MADE IT WORK

Direct to Consumer via Shopify

No distributors. No retail markup. No middlemen between the factory and the customer.

Every rupee of savings from cutting the supply chain passes directly to the buyer — which is how Alter Bikes sells at up to 65% off MRP while maintaining product quality.

Free Shipping, Pan-India

One price, any address.

Whether the order goes to Delhi or Dehradun, Chandigarh or Chennai — free delivery is guaranteed.

This single commitment expanded the addressable market from regional to national instantly.

30-Day Returns, No Restocking Fee

No final sale items. Free return shipping. No penalty for changing your mind.

In a market where buyers are understandably sceptical about purchasing an electric cycle online without testing it first, this policy removes the purchase risk entirely.

YouTube Community

Real installation videos. Real product demonstrations. Real riders showing how motor kits work on real bikes.

The YouTube channel is not just marketing — it is the customer support system that makes DIY conversion genuinely accessible and builds trust before, during, and after every purchase.

Hilly Terrain Positioning

Most Indian e-cycle brands build for flat city roads.

Alter Bikes specifically designed and markets the 005 PRO 500W model for hilly terrain — a deliberate targeting of North India's hill states where no affordable competitor exists.

This niche positioning created a category of demand that previously had no product to buy.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

Alex Rodriguez:

"Transformed my daily commute! I installed the motor kit on my old mountain bike and it feels like a brand-new e-bike. I ride to work without breaking a sweat."

Jessica Patel:

"Impressive power and range. I ride through hilly terrain and the motor handles it with ease. I've already recommended it to two friends."

Michael Chen:

"Great support and fast delivery. I had a few questions before buying and customer service was super helpful. The kit arrived quickly and works like a charm!"

Emily Smith:

"Best upgrade I've made. I go further and faster without tiring out — worth every penny."

Four consistent themes across every review: easy installation, real performance, reliable support, and value that exceeds expectations.

Those four outcomes are exactly what Alter Bikes built its product and buying experience around.

THE NUMBERS

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Every Alter Bike that replaces a petrol commute is one less trip to a fuel pump.

Every hub motor kit that electrifies an old bicycle is one less new vehicle manufactured.

Every kid who grows up on a HANZOR e-cycle considers electric the default, not the alternative.

Aggarwal EV did not set out to save the environment with a press release. They set out to build affordable, reliable electric cycles that made economic sense for regular Indian families — and let the environmental impact happen as a natural consequence of that value.

That is the right way to build a sustainable business.

Not greenwashing. Just genuinely useful products at genuinely honest prices, delivered to your door with a 30-day safety net.

The EV revolution in India does not need more expensive electric cars. It needs more affordable electric cycles.

Alter Bikes is building them.

THE ONE THING ALTER BIKES WANTS YOU TO KNOW

"An electric cycle is not a luxury. It's just a better way to get around — cheaper, healthier, and honestly more fun. We built Alter Bikes to make that better way accessible to everyone. Not just people who can afford ₹1.5 lakh. Everyone. Your budget is not a barrier. It's just the model you start with."
