Walton Digi-tech industries ltd, a Walton group concerned recently took the seat to become the country's first electric bicycle manufacturer. With the announcement of Walton E-bike Takyon 1.00, Bangladesh entered the highly anticipated e-bike transportation system.
The Takyon e-bike was announced a few months ago, but it recently hit the market after being approved by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) on November 22.
This approval brings both good and bad news for us. You can ride all over the country if you register with BRTA for two to ten years. Besides that, the registration process and fees are less expensive than those of a conventional gasoline motorcycle.
However, the Walton e-bike price in Bangladesh has risen from Tk 1,000,000 to Tk 1,27,750 BDT. This can be a discouraging factor for electric bicycles. But after reading the entire article, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed if you purchase this Walton Takyon e-bike.
What is an e-bike?

As a developing country in the South Asia, Bangladeshis tech company Walton recently started manufacturing electronic bicycles.
In the last few years, traditional gasoline-powered motorcycles sold more than 4-5 lakh units on average annually, reports said. Which unlocks the potential power to manufacture e-bikes.
According to Walton, they are capable of manufacturing 2.5 lakh units of electric bicycles annually.
However, the focus will always be on the price. If Walton produces more electronic bicycles with more features and at a lower cost, it could become Bangladesh's next emerging technology.
