Ridengine – Indian Peer to Peer Bike Sharing Platform

Ed: With 1.2 billion people and 13 million motorcycles/scooters sold this last year up from 5 million in 2010 estimates put the total number of motorcycles/scooters at 200 million in 2020, this is going to be a massive market at least in pure units.

All of a sudden US VCs are scouting for deals and opening offices in India.

PS They claim to be the first peer to peer platform, I have no way to really verify that but they certainly are very early.
