Revolutionizing Urban Mobility: inGO’s Flee Takes Micro Mobility to New Heights

As urbanization intensifies, so does the strain on our cities, leading to a surge in population and escalating traffic congestion. The consequences are longer commute times and a pressing need for efficient last-mile connectivity solutions. Addressing this gap in the market is inGO, an innovative startup that’s reshaping micro-mobility in India.

Founders Paving the Way

Established in 2018 by Nikhil Gonsalves and Manjunath Panthangi, inGO proudly represents ‘India Goes Electric.’ This ‘Made In India’ initiative ensures that every component is manufactured and sourced within the country. During the conceptualization phase, Prasanth Krishna joined as the CTO, proving instrumental in translating the founders’ vision into an award-winning product portfolio. Adding to the team’s strength, industry veteran Ramani Iyer, co-founder of Justdial, joined during customer validation, playing a pivotal role in fund raising, marketing, and customer success.

Flagship Product: Flee — More Than Just a Ride

inGO’s flagship product, ‘Flee,’ is a last-mile micro-mobility vehicle meticulously designed for ergonomic comfort. Capable of carrying up to 150 kgs and covering a range of 120 kms, Flee prioritizes the nuances of the Indian consumer and the biomechanics of the human body. The ‘Golden Triangle Ratio,’ which considers hand, hip, and leg placement, ensures a superior riding experience. The seat positioning and hip placement redesign, influenced by insights from experienced orthopedic doctors and inGO’s in-house design team, contribute to unmatched comfort.
