tion forward. The Z axis is perpendicular to the ground plane with a
positive direction downward. The Y axis is in the ground plane, and its direction is chosen to make the axis system orthogonal and right hand.
There are three forces and three moments acting on the tire from the
ground. Tractive force (or longitudinal force) F, is the component in the X
direction of the resultant force exerted on the tire by the road. Lateral force
F, is the component in the Y direction, and normal force F, is the component
in the Z direction. Overturning moment M, is the moment about the X axis
exerted on the tire by the road. Rolling resistance moment My is the moment
about the Y axis, and aligning torque M, is the moment about the Z axis.
With this axis system, many performance parameters of the tire can be
conveniently defined. For instance, the longitudinal shift of the center of normal pressure is determined by tion forward. The Z axis is perpendicular to the ground plane with a
positive direction downward. The Y axis is in the ground plane, and its direction is chosen to make the axis system orthogonal and right hand.

Good fire resistance system.
Advanced sensors.
Good battery management system.
Government subsidy by FAME scheme.
Opportunities
Job opportunities for many automobile
enthusiasts..
Rapid increase in sale of electric vehicles
(expected to increase 2 million every year by
2030).
Good scope for performance electric bikes in
market.
Rising awareness about pollutions and
environment.

various cities.
Changing government policies.
The manufacturers of electric bikes have to
depend largely on imported components, and this
results in a weaker supply chain.

9. Financial Plan
Break Even Analysis & Projected Profit & Loss
Fixed Costs = Rs. 5,00,00,000/- (consisting of Loan repayment, salary, R&D expenses, etc.)
Variable Costs = Rs. 95,000 per bike
Price = RS. 1,77,000 per bike
So for Break Even Point…
• Fixed Costs / (Price – Variable Costs) = Break Even Point (in units)
• Rs. 5,00,00,000 / (Rs. 1,77,000 – Rs. 95,000) = Break Even Point
• Rs. 5,00,00,000 / Rs. 82,000 = Break Even Point
• Break Even Point = 609.75
Break Even Point we needs to sell 610 bikes each month to break even. This will cover our cost but we
will not make any profit.
Therefore, After selling the 610 units of bikes we will start earning profit.
10. Financial Plan
Long Term Plan
• Our long term plan is to establish a company to introduce affordable, stylish and customized/modified
electric bikes in Indian as well as global market.
• We are also planning to expand our business and provide charging stations and power grids for the
comfort of E-mobility users and the revenue collected from those setups will be useful for us in terms
of future investments.
Important Assumptions
Risks
• The major upcoming risk we can face in our start-up is the over dependency on the resources.
• Also the insufficient funding can become a big issue if we fail to manage our financial plans.
Entry Strategy
• Our entry strategy is to satisfy the customer of our local city area and then gradually expand our reach
according their response.
