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.
