Bounce Infinity electric scooter to launch in India tomorrow: Price expectation

Bounce will be announcing the price of its Infinity electric scooter in the Indian market tomorrow, December 2nd. The bookings for the new battery-powered scooter will also begin on Thursday at a token amount of ₹499. While the company hasn't provided a specific timeline for the scooter deliveries, expect the same to commence within the next few weeks after the launch.

The new Infinity electric scooter will be offered in India with a removable Li-ion battery setup. Also, the company will launch the scooter with a unique ‘Battery as a service’ option which will allow the customer to buy it without a battery. The customer can then use the company's battery swapping network to get a battery pack, this will of course come at its own cost. The customer will have to pay for the battery swaps every time the service is used. The ‘Battery as a service’ option is likely to make the scooter at least 40% more affordable against the purchase of the battery-equipped vehicle.

Expected Price:

The Bounce Infinity electric scooter is expected to be launched in the Indian market at an initial price tag of ₹92,000 (ex-showroom). Also, along with the ‘Battery as a service’ option, the scooter might cost significantly less at around ₹60,000. More details will be announced tomorrow.
