Bengaluru-based multi-brand EV platform BLive has announced its partnership with RunR Mobility to introduce its range of EVs to BLive EV stores across India.
The partnership comes almost two months after BLive partnered with another EV startup Revolt Motors to introduce its RV400 EV bike on its platform.
Why has BLive partnered with RunR Mobility?
Founded by Setul Shah, Gujarat-based RunR Mobility manufactures 100% indigenous high-speed smart-electric scooters with swappable batteries, providing affordable commute solutions to fleet owners, delivery partners, etc.
The EV startup claims to have a cutting-edge 4.2-acre plant that can build 500 vehicles daily. It claims to be among the few EV manufacturers in Asia that own an innovation hub incorporating in-house battery and motor testing.
RunR Mobility said it aims to disrupt the EV industry with its two models: the RUNR HS and RUNR HS+.
“It gives me immense pleasure to join hands with RunR Mobility and introduce their revolutionary range of electric vehicles to BLive EV stores. Armed with a vision to carve a mark on the global EV map as the most sustainable, profitable, innovative, and promising brand, Run R Mobility is taking giant strides in its pursuit of excellence and is aligned with our mission of faster EV adoption throughout the country,” said Samarth Kholkar, CEO & Co-Founder of BLive.
Setul Shah said, “We are excited to partner with BLive and join forces towards our shared commitment towards wider adoption of green mobility. Our electric scooters have several benefits that make them an excellent choice for the world. They are environmentally friendly and indigenous, producing zero emissions, which will help reduce air pollution in cities.”
