LightSpeed Mobility Pvt Ltd, situated in the heart of Ahmedabad, India is making these bikes to give you the ideal mode of commute. Built for endurance, convenience, elegance, and durability, DRYFT and GLYD adopt the technology of the 21st century in one 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.



LightSpeed is here to design intelligent, alternative mobility solutions that are highly inclusive, sustainable in the long run, and very practical.

With your LightSpeed Electric Bicycle, spontaneously switch between manual and battery power as you ride through different terrains in different moods. Whizz past slow moving traffic on full throttle, or pedal on for a work out -- LightSpeed lets you choose.

The 2 models in the LightSpeed range - The DRYFT(Drift) and GLYD(Glide).

DRYFT – The Adventure Companion

Dryft is a robust, energetic mountain bike, painted in the hues of the setting sun and evening sky. This electric vehicle is designed to take you to those places where no other vehicle can. This electric bicycle is as fond of adventure as you are. The ideal companion to the thrill seeker in you — wherever you decide to ride, your Dryft always has your back. Built to withstand even the toughest terrains and steepest slopes, Dryft has been crafted to cater to the wander lust within you. This edgy e-Bike is an ideal partner in crime for thrill seekers, adrenalin junkies, and the slightly more adventurous at heart.

PIC: Lightspeed GLYD.

GLYD – The Urban Dream

Glyd is a futuristic urban machine built to facilitate comfortable commute on Indian streets. It can whizz through traffic in a flash, while taking potholes and broken roads in its stride. LightSpeed Glyd is a lightweight electric bicycle that is both, responsive and easy to manoeuvre. Designed with a deep understanding of the urban landscape, and painstaking attention to detail, Glyd makes your daily commute to work pleasurable, helps you run quick errands, and even doubles up as an outstanding workout companion.

The Glyd can be used for daily commuting to and from work, for running quick errands, and for joy rides in the day or night. These electric bicycles look very edgy and are an ideal replacement for fuel-guzzlers that slow you down and eat into your productive time.

PRICE (Including shipping*)




We want to give you something newer, better, and more hi-tech than gears. So, we’ve replaced mechanical gears with Pedal Boost Sensors! The Pedal Boost feature on LightSpeed Electric Bicycles lets you decide how much effort you apply each time you pedal. You can keep switching between levels and work up your metabolism, or fix a level and cruise at an even speed. Pedal Boost pretty much lets you monitor exactly how much effort you physically put into each ride.

Risks and challenges

In the manufacture of LightSpeed eBikes, we strive for perfection and are confident of the quality we promise and provide. However, in matters of delivery, we understand that there may be situations beyond our control such as, but not restricted to—strikes/bandhs, acts of nature (floods/severe weather), shipping delays, government policies etc. While we do promise our best in avoiding any such lapses, we ask you to be patient with us in the event that we find ourselves face to face with such a challenge, and request you to have confidence in our endeavour to provide the customer experience we aim for, that we may resolve any hardships faced by all stakeholders involved.

FAQs

Q. What happens if I need replacements for specific parts? Where can I find the spare parts?

A. Most spare parts of the eBike frame can be found in everyday cycle repair facilities and showrooms. The electric components are covered under warranty and can be replaced as required.

Q. What about routine repairs and minor problems? How do we deal with them? What about routine servicing?

A. In most cases, the repair and service work can be done at any bicycle-repair shop. Electronic troubles will be taken care of by LightSpeed Mobility, under warranty.

Q. What does the warranty cover?

A. The one year warranty entails a replacement on the electronic components. For the mechanical components of the eBike and bike frames the warranty ensures replacement against manufacturing defects or malfunctioning.

Q. Do the eBikes have regenerative braking?

A. While regenerative braking has its uses in larger and more heavyweight vehicles, we have found that it does not provide the value for money in a vehicle as lightweight as the LightSpeed eBikes, for the amount of energy recovered is negligible. Therefore, we have chosen not to implement regenerative braking in our eBikes.

Q. How long does the battery take to charge? How long does it last on a single charge?

A. A full charge of the battery takes approximately 3-3.5 hours. On a single charge, the DRYFT eBike can be driven for 50 kms, while GLYD can be driven for 35 kms.

Q. What happens if the battery runs out of power?

A. In the unfortunate situation that your battery is completely drained of power, the eBike can be used as a regular bicycle with manual power provided by pedalling.

Q. What is the maximum amount of weight that one can put on the eBike frame?

A. The maximum amount of weight that the frame can sustain is 120kg.

Q. What is the lifecycle of the battery?

A. The battery can last for a period of 4-5 years.

Q. How many charge cycles can the battery sustain? What happens at the end of the battery life cycle?

A. The battery should function optimally for 1000-1200 charge cycles. Once the battery runs out you can purchase a new battery pack from LightSpeed Mobility Pvt Ltd.

Q. How do I receive the eBike once I make a purchase?

A. Once you purchase the eBike, it will be delivered to your doorstep in a ready-to-ride condition.

Q. What are the legal requirements for using the eBike?

A. The eBike does not fall in the same category as other motor vehicles. So, no vehicle registration, driver’s license or mandatory insurance is required.

Hi Vishal, The lcd is fitted robustly on the handle bar wont be an easy flick for any miscreant and would be of no use except on a LIGHTSPEED electric bike.

Hi Rahil, regarding the bike, I just wanted to check if the LCD screen is detachable or fixed. It is an eye candy for thieves to pocket them.
