For reservations, the company is charging Rs. 499. Customers will also have to put in the basic details such as name and an email ID. The URL of the official website is bounceinfinity.com/reserve. The electric scooter comes in multiple colours, including black, red and white.

What makes the new Bounce Infinite E1 different?

The electric scooter by Bounce is different from other electric scooters in the market is a key aspect, and that is the battery. While Ola S1 and Simple One electric scooters come with an irreplaceable battery, the Bounce Infinite E1 come with a swappable battery. In other words, the battery can be removed and replaced with another battery with full capacity. Building upon this, Bounce has also created a battery swapping subscription service, wherein those who wish to purchase the scooter without the battery can get fully charged batteries. The CEO of the company, Vivekananda Hallekere believes that the battery swapping technology and the corresponding service will reduce the cost of running the scooter by as much as 40% over traditional scooters. 

Those who will purchase the Bounce Infinite E1 will also have to download a companion application that will update them about the location of Bounce Swap Stations. A Bounce customer will be able to make the battery swap on their own, as claimed by the company, within one to two minutes. However, opening these swap stations nationwide and keeping them active might be a challenge for the company. Nevertheless, the battery in a Bounce Infinite E1 is rated at 2KWhr (48X, IP67) and has a riding range of up to 85 kilometres. Additionally, the scooter can go as fast as 65 kilometres per hour. The vehicle has 12" tubeless tyres and features a combi-brake system with disk brakes in the front and the back.
