Simple Energy has launched its first family-oriented electric scooter, called the Wave, in India. The scooter comes in 3 variants, and the prices start from Rs 1,09,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Unlike the brand’s sportier scooters like the Simple One and the One Ultra, the Wave takes a more conventional approach to styling and practicality. Here’s all you need to know about it:
The Simple Wave is priced between Rs 1,09,999 and Rs 1,89,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru)

The Simple Wave marks a significant departure from the brand’s existing sporty scooters. While the One and Ultra feature sharp, aggressive styling, the Wave gets a curvier design that should appeal to a wider audience.
At the front, the scooter gets a horizontal LED headlight bar instead of the V-shaped unit seen on its sportier siblings. The front indicators are mounted on the handlebar cowl, while the rear indicators are integrated into the LED taillight strip.

Practicality seems to be a key focus here. The Wave gets a spacious-looking floorboard, along with a cubby hole on the apron and side storage pods on the side for added storage convenience. It gets the longest seat fitted to any indian scooter to date at 920mm, which should comfortably accommodate two adults. It gets a uniquely designed pillion grab rail, which should be easy to hold on to.

The Simple Wave is available in 6 colour options: Pearl White, Polar Blue, Forest Green, Coral Red, Twilight Black, Dolphin Grey
Simple Energy has equipped the Wave with 4 battery pack options, offering a maximum IDC claimed range of 243 km. The base Wave S 2.2 kWh gets a smaller 4.5 kW motor and a top speed of 70 kmph, while the other variants get a 6.4 kW motor and a top speed of 90 kmph. The higher variants can accelerate from 0-40 kmph in 3.3 seconds.

The charging port is positioned on the front apron, making it easier to plug the scooter in without having to open the seat. It comes equipped with a 750 W home charger and the scooter can be charged from 0-80% in 2 hours 15 minutes.

The Wave rides on 12-inch wheels at both ends, shod with 90-section tyres. Suspension duties are handled by a conventional telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Braking hardware comprises a front disc and rear drum brake. It gets the longest seat in the segment at 920 mm, with a seat height of 775 mm and ground clearance of 175 mm.

The Wave gets either a 7-inch TFT display or a 5-inch LCD console, depending on the variant. The TFT-equipped variants feature Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, GPS tracking, call and music controls, USB charging and over-the-air (OTA) updates. The higher variants also get features such as traction control, regenerative braking, hill hold assist, reverse mode, crawl mode, and vehicle tracking functions. It also gets practical features such as Find My Scooter, theft alerts, geofencing and timefencing, along with a full-LED lighting setup.

The scooter also gets a massive 70-litre underseat storage space, which is the largest in the segment, along with quick-access side storage pods, called Pill Storage, for storing small but important items. The scooter also gets additional storage compartments on the front apron, adding further convenience.
The Simple Wave is an important product for the brand, as it takes Simple Energy into the family electric scooter space for the first time. Its conventional styling, spacious-looking floorboard and large seat make it considerably more approachable than the One and Ultra.
With a decent maximum claimed range and a pretty accessible price tag, the Wave makes a strong case for itself. The Wave goes up against the likes of the new Ather Konarc, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2, and TVS iQube.
