Epick Bikes is a verified hardware startup based in Hyderabad, India, offering electric bicycles with swappable batteries for the B2B logistics market. External search confirms seed funding (e.g., MaGEHold, Alstom grant) and operational status since 2016. However, the project submission contains severe quality issues, including exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product'), vague audience definitions ('everyone'), and unintelligible financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 50000'). While the underlying business has real-world utility and verified local traction, the unprofessional submission heavily penalizes the Quality Factors, resulting in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
