Bengaluru, August 29, 2017: Express Bike Works (EBW), a brand of Entropy Innovations, an engineering innovations company, today announced the launch of their third flagship store at Koramangala, Bengaluru. The store will function as a one-stop solution for all the bike owners in the vicinity, offering full-fledged services, including a 2-minute automated motorcycle wash, detailing, health check-up, express maintenance and a 24x7 on-road assistance. 

Founded in 2013, EBW is world’s fastest bike wash centre and a proud made in India venture. In less than four years, EBW has set up 36 stores across the world and is present across Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand, Rwanda and Colombia apart from India.  The automated bike wash machine has been designed and developed indigenously. Their environment-friendly design recycles and reuses water, keeping operational cost low. EBW is tested and approved by several Indian and international motorcycle manufacturers. EBW has so far serviced over 2.5 lakhs bikes and saved over 12.77 million litres of water.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Niraj Taksande, Co-founder, Express Bike Works, said, “We are glad to inaugurate our third store in Bengaluru, after the tremendous response received by our existing stores in Bengaluru. Considered the ‘Silicon Valley’ of India, Bengaluru is home to a slew of IT companies, providing employment opportunities to a sizable segment of youth, owning motor bikes. Besides, a chunk of the working community prefer to commute and wade through the city traffic using two wheelers. This catapults the need and scope for service providers like EBW, offering end-to-end solutions, when it comes to providing express bike maintenance.” 

Express Bike Work’s motorcycle wash machine is compact in design and highly efficient in cleaning. EBW helps conserve water as every wash consumes around 10 litres of water, which is recycled and around 90% of the water is reused as compared to a conventional bike wash, where 50-60 litres of water is wasted on each motorcycle. Further, there is zero water or oil spillage and EBW uses biodegradable solvents for washing. The price for a wash at EBW is as competitive as any local bike wash centre, but the service is lot quicker and far superior. EBW stores delivers touch free, scratch free, shining bikes with minimum waiting period to their customers, besides offering its customers the best-in-class bike care experience.
