Both companies too to Twitter to announce the offering as per which, a user will be able to purchase an Ather electric scooter through the Bounce app. One can then list the scooter to be rented out when not in use, in return for which, the user is then remunerated. The on-road price of an Ather scooter, under the scheme is just over Rs.1,15,000, inclusive of taxes and FAME subsidies. Though damages and liabilities are largely placed on the owner, he/she receives payment for every time the scooter is rented. Renters pick up the scooter from an owner’s address, along with the keys, and return to the same place after use.
Ather has been one of the best innovations in two wheeler industry. We are happy to partner with @atherenergy and @tarunsmehta and bringing this amazing scooter to the Bounce users 🙂 Now you could buy an Ather and also earn out of it when you are not using it 🙂 https://t.co/DIdq16I31D

Currently, the offering is only available in Bangalore, although as Ather looks to expand into Kolkata by December 2020, the scheme could reach a wider audience.
