LightSpeed brings you electric bikes that come with pedal assist and a whole range of other features that leave you asking for more! It’s currently available in two variants, the LightSpeed GLYD and the LightSpeed DRYFT. GLYD is any urban commuters dream who battles city traffic daily, while DRYFT is cut out for the adventure seeker in you.
Mobility Pvt Ltd has cleverly designed these e-bikes with features that bring in a comprehensive solution to all problems faced by bikers. These eBikes are currently being crowdfunded on Fueladream.com which has become the defacto platform for raising funds for Ideas and Innovations in India. In the bikes category alone, Fueladream has raised close to INR 1 CR till date.
The LightSpeed campaign started with an initial goal of INR 15,00,000 and the campaign has already got close to INR 10 Lakh worth of preorders with 20 days left to go for the campaign to end. Anyone looking to preorder the eBikes can do so by getting on to Fueladream.com
The current batch of GLYD is available at INR 27,999 and DRYFT at INR 37,999. Initially, it was priced at 24,999 and 34,999 for GLYD and DRYFT respectively and was offered at this cost for the early funders who came forward to be the first ones to support these innovative eBikes.
Built for endurance, convenience, elegance, and durability, DRYFT and GLYD adopt the technology of the 21st century in a beautifully designed eco-friendly package. The bikes come with chargeable batteries, a noiseless motor, a unique pedal boost assist and numerous other features that make riding the eBike not only a commute, but an experience.
The concept of the LightSpeed was thought up and fleshed out by Rahil, Rushad, Krishna and Murtaza. These guys are extremely environmentally conscious. The idea for LightSpeed was born due to this passion. They also come with degrees from India (Symbiosis, NID), UK (Coventry University, Sheffield University), Australia (Monash University) and experience in management and the automobile industry.

It fits best both with mountain bikers as well as people who seek the urban thrill.

The Ahmedabad based, Lightspeed Mobility team says, “We, as a team, wanted to create bikes that will not just ease commute, but make it an experience. Additionally, we wanted the bikes to be energy efficient and a companion to anyone wanting some good cardio. And that’s the thought that drove us to put together the two eBikes, GLYD and DRYFT.”
Ranganath Thota, Founder & CEO Fueladream says, “I think city commuters often ignore alternative means of transport. LightSpeed eBikes are a great investment for all those looking for energy and cost-effective means of commute.”
