Published: Tuesday, May 28, 2024, 11:00 [IST]

Bounce Infinity, a Bengaluru-based electric vehicle startup, has introduced a new variant of its popular Infinity E1 scooter. The new model, named Bounce Infinity E1X, will be available nationwide starting June 2024. It will be priced between ₹55,000 and ₹59,000.

Compatibility and Customisation

The Infinity E1X is designed for seamless use with major battery-swapping networks across India. It can be customised to fit any new battery-swapping infrastructure. Users can easily swap their depleted batteries for fully charged ones at any network station.

Speed Variants and Future Plans

Bounce Infinity has introduced two-speed variants for the E1X, offering speeds of 55 kmph and 65 kmph. These scooters require minimal modifications for integration with multiple battery-swapping networks. Additionally, a faster variant with a top speed of 92 kmph is being developed to meet export market requirements.

CEO's Vision

Vivekananda Hallekare, CEO and Co-founder of Bounce Infinity, highlighted India's potential in the electric vehicle market. "India is the world's second-largest two-wheeler market, yet the true benefits of EVs haven't been leveraged fully. EVs offer significant innovation opportunities, including making vehicles very affordable by separating the battery cost from the vehicle," he stated.

DriveSpark Thinks

Bounce Infinity recently partnered with Sun Mobility to deploy over 30,000 EVs in key markets across the country. The initiative starts with Bangalore and Hyderabad and will expand to Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi NCR. The company is also finalising agreements with major food delivery, quick commerce, and last-mile delivery companies.

Earlier, Bounce Infinity announced a 21 per cent price reduction on its E1+ range of electric scooters. The E1+ now retails at ₹89,999, down from ₹1.13 lakh. This model features removable batteries that can be charged using a 15 Amp wall socket, quick charging, and an extended range, making it versatile for various conditions.
