The Bounce Infinity E1 is essentially the 22Motors' 22Kymco iFlow electric scooter that debuted with India's first swappable battery tech. However, it never hit the Indian showrooms. Later, Bounce acquired the 22Motors and the result is in front of your eyes.
Design-wise, the Infinity E1 boasts a smooth curvy design, featuring an all-LED illumination system and a digital instrument console with Bluetooth-based smartphone connectivity support that offers functions such as geofencing, anti-theft alert, tow alert, battery charging status, remote tracking, etc. Despite storing the battery pack under the seat, the scooter offers a storage space of 12 liters. Besides, it also gets a USB charging port, cruise control, regenerative braking system (converters kinetic energy into chemical energy during braking & stores in a battery), and two riding modes (Power and Eco) along with Reverse and a Drag Mode. The Drag Mode allows the scooter to move along at walking speeds, assisting in case of puncture or any other venture. It is available with a 3-year/ 50,000km warranty.
Powering the Bounce Infinity E1 is an 83Nm hub motor, linked to a 48V, 39Ah IP67-rated portable lithium-ion battery pack offering a claimed range of 85km. It has a top speed of 65kmph and takes around 4 to 5 hours to juice up the battery.
The company plans to establish a large battery-swapping network across the nation over the next 2 years.
Bounce has offered the Infinity E1 in five colours — Sporty Red, Sparkle Black, Pearl White, Desat Silver, and Comet Grey. You can also personalize your electric scooter with special attire through the official website.
In the EV two-wheeler space, the Infinity E1 challenges the Okinawa iPraise Plus, BGauss B8, and Ampere Magnus Pro.
