Bounce Infinity E1: India's First Electric Scooter with Swappable Battery

Bounce Infinity E1 electric scooter production begins at Bhiwadi, Rajasthan manufacturing plant which has an annual capacity of over 2 lakh units.

This is the first Indian scooter that comes with swappable batteries and you can buy one without a battery for Rs 45,099. The scooter with the battery and charger is being retailed for Rs 69,000. Buyers can rent fully charged batteries by opting for the company’s unique ‘Battery as a service’ option which will be available through a dedicated battery swapping network. The Bengaluru-based start-up claims that this will cut the running cost of the scooter by nearly 40 per cent as compared to conventional scooters.
