`Ermin Miles': Two Hyderabadis create electronic cycle that adapts to user behavior, road conditions

Hyderabad: `Ermin Automotive', a local startup run by two Hyderabadi teenagers, launched a unique electronic cycle with adaptive user technology on Thursday.

Called 'Ermin Miles', the electronic smart cycle boasts to adapt according to the user behavior and road conditions, the roads the driver uses, the slopes along the way, and the consumption of battery.

`Ermin Automotive' is run by two teenagers, Shashank and Aditya.

The hallmark of the smart cycle is that it can detect the pedaling speed of the cyclist and in case the user slows down, the battery will pick up the speed and keep the motion going. The handles also have a heart rate sensor and if the heartbeat reaches a certain number, the sensors will get activated and the cycle will start operating on battery mode.

The e-cycle comes out with 'Ermin Care' a smartphone app that provides all services from purchase to resell, remote diagnosis, repair, etc. Shashank the founder and CEO studied at ICFAI University and Adithya, the Co-Founder, COO & Product Director, Studied BBA from ICFAI University.

Their dream vehicle was formally launched by Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, Telangana government at Bhaskar Auditorium in BM Birla Planetarium.

"A few years back when I paid a visit to ICFAI University, I told students and management that many are in pursuit of engineering but there are very few jobs. Instead of seeking jobs, I told them to become job givers. A few years later now I see them with an invention," Jayesh Ranjan said congratulating Shashank and Aditya.

He said user experience is what differentiates an automobile product. "When I say this, the vehicle that comes to our mind is Tesla. I am happy that these young founders are focusing more on offering the user experience," he remarked.

Ermin Automotive holds two patents that include the design of the cycle and a new regeneration module that increases the range of the battery by 75 percent.

Three different ranges of cycles were unveiled at the event. They come in the price range of Rs 60,000 to 75,000. Those who wish to buy may register on the company's website. The booking starts from Dec 10 and the vehicles will be delivered from March 2022.
