EV SCOOTER MAKER Bounce Infinity is piloting a new model that allows gig workers to lease its vehicles to ply on e-commerce, food delivery and quick commerce aggregator apps.

The service called 'Bounce Daily' is currently active in Bengaluru, and select parts of Delhi NCR, through a company-owned fleet of 500 scooters, with plans to expand to other major metro cities, said Varun Agni, co-founder and chief technology officer, Bounce Infinity.

"The ability of OEMs to respond to critical incidents like accidents, mechanical or electrical issues, etc is going to be key in determining effectiveness of a B2B vehicle.

Through this new model we are able to assume responsibility and costs of the servicing the vehicles.
