Uber, a cab-hailing unicorn, is reportedly in talks with bike rental startup Bounce in order to list its two-wheelers on the Uber India app, reported Mint, citing two closed sources.

As per the sources, Uber is looking beyond four-wheelers in India, and is developing a plan to add more mobility options on its app.

“If Uber’s talks with Bounce materialize, the cab-hailing firm will start with a pilot service in Bengaluru which will not entail any financial agreements,” one of the sources added.

While, recently, Uber India started its bike-riding services with the launch of ‘BikeShare‘ app in Delhi. The BikeShare app enabled users to ride with another bike-rider going the same way. The newly-launched BikeShare works with regular bikes that are already plying on the road.
