Reimagining urban mobility with custom-designed e-bikes
KOZHIKODE: In a world where traffic congestion and pollution are becoming daily struggles, a visionary from Kozhikode is revolutionising how we navigate urban spaces. Syed Shahabaz, founder and CEO of Surface-Moto, has unveiled what he claims to be India’s first custom-designed electric bike for short urban commutes – an eco-friendly, tech-driven solution that is quickly gaining traction across the country. “I wanted to build something that blended technology with mobility, something that addressed the needs of today’s urban commuter.” Launched from a small workshop in Kozhikode, Surface-Moto had humble beginnings. Featuring a near-silent rear-hub motor, the e-bike can reach a top speed of 25 kmph, a testament to Shahabaz’s commitment to merging performance with sustainability. Surface-Moto’s mechanical engineer Fathih Sulaiman and Nitika Kapoor, head of operations, were the two other key players who helped Shahabaz build the technology.
