Ather Partners with Bounce Share
We are excited to announce a partnership with Bounce, which allows you to own an Ather 450 through an innovative ownership model, at lower ownership costs.
Bounce is a dockless scooter sharing platform, allowing you to rent a scooter for commutes. Bounce is launching a platform to develop a Peer-to-peer scooter sharing network in Bengaluru. Through this network, you can purchase a new scooter through Bounce, and earn money when you rent it out to Bounce customers.
How will this work?
Customers can purchase an Ather 450 by registering interest on the Bounce app. When you’re not using it for a few hours or days, you can list it on the Bounce app for rent. Bounce customers will be able to rent your Ather 450 by booking it through the Bounce app, pick up the scooter from your home and return it back when they’re done. Unlike the traditional model of renting dockless scooters, your scooter will always be with you for usage, and you meet the renter before allowing them to use it.
Ownership
The Ather 450 will be the first scooter being launched by Bounce through this program.
You can head over to the Bounce app to purchase the Ather 450 through the peer-to-peer scooter sharing network.The vehicle will be registered as a commercial vehicle in your name, to comply with the local laws. You can earn money for the duration that you share your scooter through the Bounce app. For example, if you rent out your Ather 450 purchased through this program on all weekends in a month, you can earn upto Rs. 2500 through Bounce.
Charging
The Ather 450 purchased through this program comes bundled with a portable charger, so you can easily handover the vehicle and the portable charger to the renter. The portable charger allows you to charge the scooter virtually anywhere. In addition, fast charging through Ather Grid is free for the first year, starting from the date of purchase.
Service and Connectivity
Owners purchasing through this program can subscribe to new Ather P2P Connect/Service plans. The change in plans is to account for multi-user scenarios, higher than regular usage and commercial usage, since such usage will see more wear and tear between scheduled services.
AtherP2P connect - ₹ 3,000/yr + GST (Includes Data connectivity for navigation and smart features, pipeline costs and data storage costs)
AtherP2P service - ₹ 10,200/yr + GST (Includes all benefits of AtherP2P Connect + Scheduled services)
Pricing
There will be a marginal increase in the on-road price for the Ather 450 purchased through this program, to account for increase in RTO processing and registration fees.
Due to these changes, the on-road pricing will be Rs.115,494, when purchased through Bounce.
If you’re interested in purchasing an Ather 450, head over to the Bounce app to explore the new ownership model.
