About Us
The story so far.
Bounce's roots trace back to WickedRide and Metro Bikes — earlier ventures from the founders that came together to launch Bounce in 2016 as a dockless scooter-rental service.
The pandemic forced a pivot: Bounce moved into electric vehicles, launching Bounce Infinity and a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model to rebuild around EVs.
Today, Bounce Daily continues that electric-vehicle focus, serving gig and delivery riders across India.
