Smart mobility solutions company Bounce is all set to launch its first electric scooter Bounce Infinity. This is an advanced ‘Made in India’ scooter. The company claims that customers will get intelligent features in this. It has been told by the company that pre-booking for Bounce Infinity will start soon. At the same time, its delivery is expected to start by January 2022.
The Bounce Infinity electric scooter has a removable lithium-ion battery, which customers can remove and charge as per their convenience and need. Also, with Infinity, the company is offering ‘Battery as a service’ option. Under this, customers will have the option to buy the Bounce Infinity electric scooter at an affordable price without the battery and use Bounce’s battery swapping network instead. That is, customers will pay for a battery swap whenever they replace an empty battery with a fully charged one from Bounce’s swapping network. This will reduce the running cost of the scooter by up to 40 percent as compared to conventional scooters.
The battery accounts for 40 to 50 percent of the total cost of an electric scooter. In such a situation, removing the cost of battery from the scooter will make it easier for customers to buy an electric scooter. This will help in the rapid adoption of electric scooters in the Indian market.
