UrDa Mobility, a Taiwan-based shared mobility firm, has announced its entry into the Indian market. Backed by the Ahamani Group, which is a Taiwanese electric scooter manufacturer, UrDa will initiate operations in the country by the end of 2019.
UrDa was established in 2017 and has more than 37 ride sharing points already operational across Taiwan. After two years now, the company has geared up to expand in various countries across Asia with India being the first on the list. For its shared mobility services, UrDa will be employing Ahamani smart scooters which are equipped with patented IoMT (Internet of Moving Things) technology with connectivity features. These non-polluting two-wheelers reportedly deliver around 80km to 120km of range with the top speed rated at 85kmph. Owing to the UrDa Speed tech, these e-scooters are claimed to get fully-charged in 20 minutes. Notably, the Ahamani scooters are well-received in over 26 countries in Asia and Europe.
The shared mobility firm aims to have its presence in majority parts of Asia in the next five year with India being considered as a major market. In the coming years, UrDa aims to introduce more than 100,000 electric scooters in the country. Looking at the Indian government’s ever-increasing support for the EV manufacturers, the firm is working towards localising the e-scooters and their batteries with the process of collaborating with local manufacturers already underway.
In order to kickstart its city commute services in India, UrDa has partnered with an indigenous shared mobility firm – EbikeGo. The latter has already joined hands with companies such as Zomato for B2B ride sharing business and, is operational in five cities including Delhi, Amritsar, Agra, Ludhiana and Jaipur.
