India is adopting electric vehicles at a rapid pace including two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and small commercial vehicles. In order to further accelerate this EV culture, a Thane-based startup called GoGoA1 is offering an EV conversion kit to convert Bajaj Avenger 220 into an electric vehicle. The kit can also be used in several other motorcycle models.

Now, the company has developed a new set of components for EV conversion that can be installed in traditional Avenger 220 to convert it into a hybrid bike that can run on both petrol and electricity. Here are the details.
