Ather Energy & Bounce launch P2P scooter sharing program

Ather Energy has partnered with Bounce to launch a peer to peer (P2P) scooter sharing program in Bangalore.

Under the program, Ather 450 owners will be able to monetize the idle time of their vehicles by listing them on the Bounce App. Unlike Bounce's dockless model, the P2P scooters will be picked up and returned to the owner.

To opt for this model, customers will have to book the Ather 450 through the Bounce platform. On delivery, the commercially registered scooter can be listed on the Bounce App. Customers will be able to rent the vehicle for hours or days as listed by the owner.

The post-purchase Ather One plan has also been customized to suit the sharing model. It includes a new service and maintenance plan. These scooters will be eligible for free fast charging at 38 Ather Grid points for 1 year. The scooters will come with a portable charger.

Ather 450s for the P2P sharing program can be booked through Bounce's website for Rs. 499. The scooters will be delivered on priority basis post the ongoing lockdown.
