Bhago
Mobility on Thursday announced the launch of a comprehensive and
technology-driven electric mobility platform aimed at accelerating India’s
urban transportation transition. In partnership with Honda Motorcycle &
Scooter India (HMSI) and supported by Honda Power Pack Energy India’s (HEID)
advanced battery-swapping infrastructure, the company will deploy electric
two-wheelers initially in Delhi and Bengaluru, followed by a phased pan-India
rollout over the next three years.
The
integrated platform has been specifically designed for delivery partners,
ride-hailing drivers, and last-mile logistics workers. It offers bundled access
to electric vehicles, battery swapping services, regulatory compliance support,
and digital technology tools under a streamlined, subscription-based model.
The solution
provides on-demand access to electric two-wheelers through a flexible ownership
and usage framework. It is structured to cater both to individuals who wish to
operate the EV themselves for commercial or personal use and to those who
prefer to own the vehicle and make it available to other drivers for income
generation.
Beyond
mobility access, the initiative aims to create meaningful employment
opportunities for individuals with minimal formal education. With only a valid
driving licence as a prerequisite, participants can leverage the platform to
enhance their income potential, with projected earnings exceeding 20% over
current income levels.
The platform
addresses several structural challenges faced by urban mobility workers,
including high upfront vehicle acquisition costs, charging downtime,
maintenance burdens, and regulatory complexities. By seamlessly integrating
vehicle access with an energy infrastructure ecosystem, Bhago Mobility seeks to
improve operational uptime, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance earning
predictability.
Under the
partnership, HMSI will supply electric two-wheelers tailored for
high-utilisation commercial operations, leveraging its manufacturing excellence
and engineering expertise. HEID’s expanding battery-swapping network will
enable near-instant battery replacement, significantly minimizing downtime and
ensuring uninterrupted service continuity for riders.
Commenting
on the collaboration, Mutsuo Usui, Director – Sales & Marketing, Honda
Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “At Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India,
our approach to electric mobility is rooted in creating solutions that are
sustainable, reliable, and truly impactful for everyday riders. Our partnership
with Bhago Mobility reflects this commitment, combining Honda’s trusted quality
and innovation with a strong, technology-driven battery swapping ecosystem.
Through the Activa e:, integrated with HEID’s robust swapping network, we aim
to deliver safe, efficient, and productivity-enhancing mobility solutions that
minimize downtime for India’s mobility workforce. We deeply value the synergy
of this collaboration and remain fully committed to comprehensive and
dependable after-sales support, ensuring long-term trust and customer
satisfaction.”
Aditya
Goyal, Managing Director of Bhago Mobility, added, “Urban mobility cannot be
solved by a single company or a single product. It requires a combination of
people, technologies, and capabilities working together to address real,
on-ground challenges. That is why bringing together like-minded, strategically
aligned partners is critical. Our collaboration with Honda, built on a strong
relationship spanning over two decades beginning in the two-wheeler ecosystem,
enables us to deliver robust engineering and a reliable mobility solution. By
combining our strengths with partners such as HEID, we are offering a practical
and scalable platform — whether individuals want to operate the vehicle
themselves or make it available to others. The potential of this integrated
approach is immense, both in terms of impact and opportunity.”
Bhago’s
proprietary technology platform integrates background verification, operations
management, roadside assistance, and real-time performance analytics to provide
workers with actionable insights for maximizing earnings. Data-driven guidance
enables drivers to understand demand trends, select optimal routes, and enhance
service quality — directly translating into improved income opportunities.
The initial
rollout will prioritize onboarding delivery partners from leading e-commerce
and food delivery platforms, with phased expansion into ride-hailing and
logistics segments. Operations will commence in Delhi and Bengaluru, with
additional cities being added in alignment with the expansion of HEID’s
battery-swapping network.
In addition,
Bhago Mobility is placing strong emphasis on increasing women’s participation
in India’s transportation and logistics ecosystem. Through targeted outreach
initiatives, specialized training programmes, and dedicated support frameworks,
the platform aims to encourage more women to enter non-traditional mobility
roles. By creating safe, flexible, and sustainable income pathways, the
initiative seeks to empower women and their families, while contributing to
broader efforts aimed at strengthening women’s labour force participation
across urban India.
