The startup is developing electric scooters for the future.
Just one look at the website, shows just how passionate and ambitious they are. They have been in the news several times after receiving several rounds of financing.

The co-founders of Flipkart.com, Sachin and Binny Bansal, had invested $1 million in the startup and most recently Tiger Global invested $12 million just a few days back.

The scooters really do look from the future. As you scroll through the webpage you get hints of the fact that these guys are really out there to revolutionize not only the the way people look at electric vehicles but also the importance of design when it comes to vehicles.
