Simple Energy recently launched its first product- the Simple One in India. It rivals the OLA Electric S1 and S1 Pro that was launched on the same day. While you can read all about the OLA e-scooter in our other article, here we tell you all there is to know about the Simple One.
Pricing and availability
The Bangalore-based company has pegged the electric scooter at Rs 1.10 lakh, ex-showroom. This makes it slightly more expensive than the Ola S1 that costs Rs 99,999 but is more affordable than the Ola S1 Pro at Rs 1.30 lakh. With state subsidies, the price of the Simple One will be even more competitive. Bookings for the Simple One have already commenced on the company’s official website for a refundable token amount of Rs 1,947. However, there is no word about its deliveries as of now.
Performance and range
Simple Energy has fitted the One with a 4.8kWh battery pack, almost double the size of Ather’s unit. This is one of the reasons the Simple One claims a range of 203km in Eco mode. Powering the e-scooter is a 4.5kW motor that churns out 72Nm and a claimed 0-40 time of 2.95 seconds. Meanwhile, top-speed ranges from 98kmph to 105kmph depending on the tyre choice.
Features
The list of features on the Simple One include four riding modes- Eco, Ride, Dash and Sonic. It also gets a 7-inch touchscreen with 4G and Bluetooth connectivity along with full-LED lighting. The scooter also offers music and call control, navigation, vehicle tracking and a tyre pressure monitoring system among other features like find-my-bike, and geo-fencing. Besides this, the Simple One also boasts a 30-litre underseat storage.
Colours
Simple Energy is offering the electric scooter in a choice of four colors- Azure Blue, Brazen Black, Grace White and Namma Red.
