Gujarati entrepreneurs have tried their hands at almost every business out there. From trading to tech, textiles to tea — business runs in the blood. But there was always one space left untouched: automobiles. For decades, no homegrown automobile brand in Gujarat carried the state’s name.

That changed when ABZO Motors rolled out its first electric bike. A machine designed and built in Ahmedabad that focused on the most comfortable Electric bike. 

ABZO’s rise isn’t about chasing speed or glamour. Solving a gap of EVs and bringing comfort, range, and practicality into electric two-wheelers. In just two years, the brand has turned from a prototype to a trusted name, proving once again how Gujarat shapes ideas into industries. 

The Spark Behind ABZO

The story of ABZO Motors began in 2018 with a simple observation. EV brands were racing towards speed and flashy numbers, but no one was building for comfort. Long rides, daily commutes, and a practical electric vehicle.

That’s where the team of visionaries came in. When asked about the story behind ABZO, Kanchi Patel shared how she accepted the challenge — “Absolutely, we can make a comfortable electric bike.” That belief gave the brand its name “ABZO”.

Every person had a role in shaping ABZO. Kanchi carried the vision, Chirag Patel brought decades of technical and business expertise, Kalpana Patel drove strategy and marketing, while Aryan Patel worked on the first rough designs of the VS-01.

The First Big Step

The first milestone came in 2023 with the launch of the VS-01, the Electric cruiser bike. Unlike other EVs, it focused on comfort. Its range of up to 150 km, multiple ride modes, and quick charging made it a true everyday machine. 

The launch event itself was a statement, with Global star Suniel Shetty unveiling the bike, ABZO instantly caught attention and built a lot of trust.

Soon after, the first showroom opened in Ahmedabad. In the very first month, 50 bikes were booked, proving that a homegrown cruiser EV could strike the right chord.

Scaling Up – Taking ABZO Closer to Every Rider

After the launch of the VS-01, the focus shifted to building trust. ABZO introduced a campaign offering ₹50,000 benefits on bookings. The impact was instant — demand grew, and riders appreciated the versatility of the electric cruiser.

But growth is never just about one product. Expansion became the next step.

• 25 new display centres opened across Gujarat, reaching even rural and small-town audiences.
• Multi-brand showrooms made ABZO bikes more accessible for different customer segments.
• Finance approval in just 11 minutes — a first-of-its-kind initiative that made buying simpler.
• Customer-first service, with a two-hour response window for after-sales support.

This mix of accessibility, service, and trust laid the foundation for ABZO’s rapid rise.

Expanding the Lineup

After the cruiser bike’s success, ABZO faced a bigger question: how do you reach the everyday Indian? The answer was simple: scooters. Practical, familiar, and used by almost every household. That’s how the Sigilo took shape — an electric scooter designed not just for riders, but for families. Affordable to buy, easy to charge, and with a 162km range, which makes it dependable for daily use.

But ABZO’s story didn’t pause there. They understood that India has a very big marketplace. So came the AE 60, built for learners, budget-conscious buyers, and those who wanted something simple without the paperwork of a licence or registration.

In just three years, ABZO moved from a prototype bike to an entire lineup of three different EVs. Each launch showed the same intent: keep it practical, keep it relatable, and keep moving forward.

Conclusion

ABZO’s journey is more than building electric bikes — it’s about building belief. In a space where many EV startups fade out, ABZO stayed consistent by focusing on practical ideas and real problems. From a single prototype room in 2019 to a growing lineup today, the brand shows how Gujarat-born entrepreneurship can turn vision into reality.
