During the unprecedented times of the pandemic, the brand launched initiatives such as ‘Be a Bike Buddy’, ‘Be a Green Hero’, ‘Take home a Hero- return if you don’t like it’, which led to a number of enquiries and interests of the prospective customers even during peak lockdown period. The new initiatives and offers have been launched to encourage people into buying affordable, green, eco-friendly and cost-effective means of personal transportation which is also a means of automatic social distancing, when compared to public transport.
