Save Money with Free E-Bike: CM Scheme Registration Guide
Getting to work or college shouldn’t drain your wallet every month. The Chief Minister’s Free E-Bike Scheme solves this problem by providing actual electric bikes to those who need them most. These aren’t complicated subsidies or vouchers – you get a real bike ready to use immediately.The bikes run on electricity, covering 60-80 kilometers per charge. That handles most people’s weekly commute easily. What started as a small pilot program has grown significantly, with more districts joining each year. If transport costs are eating into your budget, this scheme might be exactly what you need.
