E-bikes, cycles to give last-mile connectivity a boost across Dwarka

The Delhi transport department will deploy 3,000 e-bikes and e-cycles across the Dwarka sub-city area around transit hubs such as Metro stations and bus stops to serve as sustainable last-mile connectivity options, according to officials aware of the matter

The department plans to deploy these in phases at around 250 locations across Dwarka and the department has floated tenders for both high and low-speed electric two-wheelers, the officials said.

The request for the proposal, worth ₹18 crore, was floated to select a service provider to deploy both kinds of e-two-wheelers under a single package, they said. However, officials were unable to immediately provide a time frame for the project.

The department will soon conduct a study to finalise spots for docking stations. Apart from Metro stations, the docks may be placed at the gates of societies, inside larger housing societies, district centres, office complexes, and malls, they added.
