After having positioned itself as the largest bicycle manufacturer in the country, Hero Cycles, part of Rs 11,000 crore Hero Group conglomerate, is now all set to foray into 'mini motor cycle' segment with the launch of engine-driven bicycle 'Cyclomoto' next month.

"We are going to launch our new invention called 'Cyclomoto' which is an engine-driven bicycle next month," Suresh Munjal, MD (marketing), Hero Cycles Ltd told PTI.

The bicycle manufacturing company aims to target school going children below the age of 16 years for this bicycle and initially the company would bring out 300 units of Cyclomoto.

Cyclomoto, petrol driven bike, would have 24.75 cc (cubic capacity) engine, to be attached at the rear side of the bicycle.

"The riders would not require licence to run it and they would also not be required to wear helmets. Moreover, no pollution certificate would be needed for Cyclomoto," said another senior official of Hero Cycles.
