Bounce has finally launched its much-awaited electric scooter in the country. It’s called the E1 and is priced at Rs 68,999 (ex-showroom, Delhi) but there is another innovative option offered by the company. Those interested have the choice of acquiring the Bounce Infinity E1 without the battery and making use of Bounce’s battery swapping network instead. By opting for this, customers pay for battery swaps, whenever they swap an empty battery with a fully-charged one from Bounce’s extensive swapping network. This pushes the running costs of the scooter down substantially, by as much as 40 percent compared to conventional scooters. The price for this option is Rs 45,099 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
Vivekananda Hallekere, CEO & Co-Founder, Bounce said, “I strongly believe in the potential of electric vehicles in India – it is with this vision that we launched our in-house EV mobility solutions in June 2019. Today, we are building on our success, and to facilitate faster adoption of EVs, Bounce has taken a step ahead to develop the Infinity E1. We are committed to taking on all challenges to make India a leading EV adopter globally."
