Wicked Ride, a luxury bike rental company, starts operations in Mysore

Wicked Ride, a luxury bike rental company, has announced the commencement of its operations at Mysore. Initially the services would start with Harley-Davidson and Royal Enfield Bikes and the fleet would be further increased based on demand.

Mysore is the 6th destination for Wicked Ride after Bengaluru, Pune, Bhuj, Jaipur and Udaipur. The company would also be looking at opening its operations in 17 other destinations in India by March 2016.

"We started operations in Mysore as we saw a lot of potential due to the increasing number of Tech companies there and also the tourist circuit around Mysore which is a favorite amongst Bikers.", says Vivekananda H.R, Co-founder, Wicked Ride.

Headquartered in Bengaluru, Wicked Ride, a start-up, was founded in 2014 by three friends, Vivekananda H.R., Anil G and Varun Agni, who did not find options to rent motorcycles (especially high end luxury bikes) in Bengaluru at the time. Realizing that there is a rather new audience to cater to, they set up a company and started renting bikes starting from Royal Enfield to Harley-Davidson. They believe in making your dream come true as a biker - be it riding the premium bikes or experiencing the inexplicable joy of riding in the best biking destinations.

The company had received Rs 5 Crore seed funding in April 2015.
