Simple One e-scooter With Additional Battery Pack: Details

While talking about the new battery option the Founder and CEO of Simple Energy, Suhas Rajkumar, said, "When we conceived the Simple One, we had the aim of offering an electric scooter that could offer enough range for users to not have to worry about range or charging. Offering an extra battery will allow power users to reach destinations that no other electric two-wheeler in India can. This additional battery can easily fit in the boot of the scooter offering a range of over 300 km. This is a big milestone, not just for Simple Energy, but for the EV industry. This move will also go a long way in bolstering the perception of electric scooters.”

Both the versions of the scooter will be available in the market. The one without battery is priced at Rs 1,09, 999 and the one with battery is priced at Rs 1,44,999 (ex-showroom).

The other features of the scooter are: on board navigation, riding modes, call, music control, etc. The company also said that there are more features in the pipeline, which will be announced soon.
