We recently rode the 2025 Simple One electric scooter in Bengaluru. Although the brand has been around for a couple of years, its product, the One electric scooter, debuted after a hiatus. Here is what we think about it.
On the design front, the Simple One electric scooter looks quite modern and sporty. It should entice younger buyers who want a contemporary design. However, one can’t overlook the fact that it looks similar to the Ather 450X.
Two battery packs power the Simple One: a 3.7kWh floor-mounted unit and a portable 1.3kWh pack. The setup is linked to an 8.5kW motor that offers the Simple One a top speed of 105kmph. Simple claims its scooter has a maximum range of 248km.
In terms of features, the Simple One gets LED illumination, a touchscreen dashboard, TPMS, Park Assist, Find My Vehicle, customizable dash themes, rapid brake, OTA updates, trip history and statistics, a USB charging port, and updated regenerative braking.
While the overall quality seems decent, we feel some panel fitments could’ve been better. For reference, the console doesn’t sit flush with the plastic around it.
It also gets four ride modes - Eco, Ride, Dash, and Sonic. We rode the Simple One in Dash and Sonic for the most part and noticed the throttle response to be lively. Its response to the input was executed with swiftness and without any lag.
Even in terms of handling, the Simple One is quite impressive. It feels planted and responds to direction changes quickly. The suspension setup is taut but with a balance of comfort.
But should you spend Rs. 1.66 lakh (ex-showroom) on the Simple One electric scooter? We recommend you read our first ride review to get the answer.
