New Delhi, April 9, 2019: Wheel, the first invention of humankind that took us into the industrial age and beyond, still remains our best invention, ever. It has stood the test of time, technology and all the four temperaments, and while we owe a lot to the wheel, we have never have given its due in full. Until Zoomcar decided to change all that.

In one charge it can cover over 25 KMs, enough to get a coffee and be back. In the face of traffic woe, and growing tariff when it comes to commuting, this would be the best answer.
Commenting on the latest development, Greg Moran, CEO, Zoomcar said, “In the first phase we will be launching ZoomWheels on Subscription in Bangalore, our home market and later introduce it across our top 7 markets.”
