However, buyers opting for the 750W fast charger will have to pay an additional Rs. 13,000. The colour palette comprises Namma Red, Brazen Black, Azure Blue, Grace White, BrazenX, and LightX.
The electric motor on the new Simple One is claimed to deliver a peak and continuous power output of 8.5kW and 4.5kW, respectively, and the torque output is rated at 72Nm. The 0-40kmph acceleration time is claimed to take 2.77 seconds, while the top speed is rated at 105kmph.
