Corona, CA, October 1, 2024: Calibike, an innovative electric bike company led by Indian American entrepreneur Rafe Husain, was officially launched on September 14, 2024, at a ceremony held at the Corona City Council Hall. The launch was attended by Mayor Tom Richins of Corona, who praised the company’s commitment to eco-friendly transportation and its alignment with California’s push towards zero-emission vehicles. “Calibike represents the kind of forward-thinking solution we need to reduce our environmental impact,” said Mayor Richins.

Calibike is at the forefront of sustainable transportation, offering electric bikes that aim to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. The company’s electric bikes are designed to provide a green and convenient alternative for short and long commutes, positioning them as a key player in California’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Calibike’s products are powered by advanced batteries similar to those used in Tesla cars, making them one of the top sellers of e-bike batteries in the U.S.

Led by Rafe Husain, the only Indian American innovator in the electric bike industry, Calibike is also a key component in improving public transport access. The company aims to work in conjunction with Brightline West, the upcoming high-speed rail connecting Las Vegas and Southern California. Calibike’s electric bikes will provide a sustainable last-mile solution, helping commuters travel from train stations to their final destinations in an environmentally friendly manner.

In a gesture of community support, Calibike donated electric bikes to the City of Corona to assist Park Rangers in patrolling local parks. Mayor Richins praised the donation, stating that it will not only reduce emissions but also help protect the city’s natural resources more efficiently.

Calibike’s launch comes at a time when California is pushing for 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035, with state tax rebates making electric vehicles more affordable. Calibike is positioned to play a critical role in this initiative, offering residents an easy and green commuting option while supporting the state’s sustainability goals.
