I rented an electric bike for 4 days and it was the best decision I could have made. Autoville is big and the weather gets pretty hot, so instead of trudging around on foot I decided to bike everywhere I went. I loved it! Kudos to the Kinisi team, which was very laid back and accommodating! Highly recommended

Very nice experience! This is promoting e-mobility! We rented e-bike and e-scooter and both are a great alternative to "normal" vehicles. The kinisi staff is very friendly and helpful. One suggestion would be for the hours of giving back is to extend from 4.30pm to 5.30. And why not to rent half day?

I enjoyed everything, starting from communication.. As I first came, nothing was available (wanted an e-bicycle), but a few days later they notified me over whatsup that I could come and pick up! Very good service, quick and efficient and friendly thank you! : ) It was my first experience with these vehicles, so I have no reference to compare.. It is great to explore Auroville on e-bicycle..! (expect for after a big rain.. you get very muddy behind.. ; )

I had my Kinisi bicycle for almost a year and was very happy with it. Service was most of the time very quick and always extremely friendly. Everybody of the team gave their very best and the bikes are superb! My next bicycle I will surely get from kinisi again. 🙏🏽

No fuss in the collection or return. The rent for the bike is reasonably charged. The electric power boost really adds to what you can do otherwise. Very happy to have used it. Highly recommended. Auroville runs a free taxi service which can be easily hailed thru a calling number.

Gotta love serendipitous afternoons that end with an e-bike tour of Auroville.
I grew up in Chennai, two hours from Auroville. I'm shocked to say I have never seen Auroville in this light, on two wheels with Kinisi. It was lovely spending a winter afternoon cycling around the red-dusty lanes of Auroville, stopping at bakeries and the small shops and industries in this town, engaging with the locals en route.
If you want a workout, you can ride the bike as is. If you want a smooth/thrilling ride or a speed-boost, you can activate the electrical-assist in Kinisi. I was mildly surprised by how seamless the transition was and how easy it is to figure out how to use the bike. I have rented e-bikes around the world, and Kinisi was on-par/ if not better than anything I have ridden before.
It was also interesting to chat with Debo and meet the Kinisi team to see the engineering side of this e-bike. Their story, their drive (pun intended) to be sustainable and eco-friendly, was truly inspiring.
I can't wait to come back to Auroville with my cousins for fun rides around Auroville in the future.

Kinisi e-bikes enabled me to easily get around not only Auroville, but to Pondicherry, to Sadhana Forest, all around, without being exhausted as i would have been on a normal cycle. And without all the exhaust and pollution from motorbike 🏍 and 🚘 cars. I recommend! They even quickly swapped out my bike when the charger wasn’t charging well; didn’t have to give long explanations, which was great because i was in a hurry. Highly recommend!!
