India Doesn’t Need More Cars. It Needs Smarter Rides – Says Hoverpro Founder

Millions of Indians sit still in traffic jams every day. The journey, which should take ten minutes, takes an hour. According to the TomTom Traffic Index 2024, the average commuter spends more than 1.5 hours a day stuck in traffic in places like Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. India now has the third-largest automobile market in the world, but it also has some of the worst air quality in the world. This is because car sales are soaring due to easy EMIs and growing aspirations.

"We're solving a car problem we've created ourselves," says Hoverpro founder Bhavya Malik. "Don't take it personally; EMI has made it possible for everyone to purchase a car today, but the true costs are social, personal, and environmental. It is not only inefficient, but insane to spend hours stuck in traffic for a distance of only one to two kilometres.

The Dilemma of Short Distance


Even though electric cars are frequently discussed in India, most city trips are actually shorter than five kilometres. Even for short office rides, coaching classes, cafe visits, and local errands, commuters use large, fuel-powered vehicles. These journeys disproportionately add to traffic, pollution, and parking problems.

Malik says, "We saw an opportunity in what people weren’t talking about." "The fact that no one was providing a clean, intelligent solution for small, short-distance trips, despite the fact that they are a significant part of daily life."

Presenting Hoverpro: Intelligent Transportation for Regular Indians

With small electric vehicles like foldable e-scooters and hoverboards with handles, Hoverpro is revolutionising urban mobility. These aren't just fancy devices; they're useful, lightweight, and strong enough to take the place of those quick daily gas runs.

Important advantages include:

  • Eco-friendly operation and zero emissions
  • Portable, lightweight construction that fits in lifts, offices and homes
  • Minimal upkeep and charging expenses
  • Most models don't require a licence, so teenagers, college students, delivery workers and office workers can use it.

The Reasons India Cannot Wait

According to the IQAir 2023 report, 13 of the top 20 most polluted cities in the world are already in India. Waiting for EV regulations comes at too great a cost.

Malik continues, "People are waiting for government policies or bans, but this shift doesn't have to be reactive." "It may be proactive. Making the switch to an electric scooter or hoverboard now could have an effect on your time, money, and health tomorrow.

With monthly car EMIs rising and fuel prices in many cities surpassing ₹100/litre, Hoverpro provides a financially viable option that pays for itself in a matter of months.

A Smarter Movement That Goes Beyond a Ride

Hoverpro is a movement towards cleaner, more environmentally friendly transportation, not just a brand of cars. The company aggressively raises awareness of:

  • Short-distance mobility that is sustainable
  • Space-saving techniques and intelligent parking
  • Lowering daily carbon footprints, traffic stress, and road rage

"A 60-kg person can be moved two kilometres without a 1,200-kg machine," says Malik. It's similar to lighting a candle with a cannon. Our rides are designed to mimic the movements of authentic Indians.

Gazing Ahead

Personal, portable, and emission-free vehicles are undoubtedly the way of the future as India pushes for electrification under the FAME policy and Smart Cities Mission. Hoverpro is putting itself in a position to lead this transformation.

Hoverpro is demonstrating to everyone-students, executives, gig workers, and retirees-that India needs smarter transportation, not more cars.
