Bounce Share completes over 3 crore rides, 170 million kilometers

Bounce Share has revealed that it has clocked over 3 crore rides which accounts for more than 17 crores shared kilometres on its dockless scooter sharing platform. The Bengaluru-based startup claimed that one of the key reasons for logging so many miles is its patented keyless technology, which allows its customers to pick up or drop the bike in any legalised parking across the city. 

Vivekananda Hallekere, CEO of Bounce, in a series of tweets, said, "From being told that dockless and unsupervised scooter sharing wouldn’t work in India to crossing 30 million rides, we have come a long way. Last 2 years have been slow with COVID but it’s getting more exciting with Bounce building our own EVs and battery swapping infrastructure.” 

On December 2 last year, the company has also launched its first electric scooter Infinity E1 on Friday. The company said it is betting heavily on the battery as a service model and the deliveries for the scooter are slated to begin deliveries by March 2022.  

“While we continue to make mobility accessible and affordable to all, we have been 100 per cent electric and all rides are EV rides. We also launched the infinity to enable electric mobility to millions of Indians who can’t switch to electric due to multiple reasons. One of the key USPs of Bounce Infinity would be that you can share these scooters like Airbnb when you are not using it,” added Hallekere. 

Bounce has also been setting up an extensive battery-swapping network through prominent partnerships, which will serve its retail customers and ride-sharing businesses.
