The company collaborated with TVS Motor Company to promote the EV infrastructure in Himachal Pradesh. The #mission0emission ride was launched from Manali to Kaza with two TVS iQube electric scooters to celebrate World Zero-Emission Day on September 21, 2021.

The TVS iQube electric scooters were ridden by Maanvi Rawlley, goEgoNetwork official, and Pratiksha Das, motorcycle influencer from Mumbai.

The TVS iQube Electric scooters were ridden by a company official and a motorcycle influencer from Mumbai. The two women bikers rode the e-scooters through the treacherous Manali-Kaza route, a popular biking route in India passing over the magnificent Kunzum-La pass. The riders reached Kaza to inaugurate the EV charging facility along with Mahender Pratap Singh, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Kaza. Complimenting the riders, he said, "Himachal Pradesh government is keen to promote zero-emission and sustainability towards a greener future."

Commenting on the successful completion of the ride, Pratiksha Das said, "This has been an eye-opening experience for someone like me too, who has spent a lot of time around bikes. The TVS iQube Electric scooter took on the dangerous road from Manali to Kaza via Batal, without a single hiccup. We rode over rocks and boulders, and even under demanding weather conditions, the scooters took everything in their strides."

Cementing her sentiment, Maanvi Rawlley from goEgo commented, "As a maiden rider in the hills, I had my apprehensions about how an EV scooter would perform in those temperatures and terrain. But the electric scooters withheld it all and took us to the roof of the country with aplomb."
