The Simple One’s launch has been scheduled for August 15
Bengaluru-based EV startup Simple Energy has revealed new details about its upcoming Simple One e-scooter. The Simple One will feature a 30-litre underseat storage space, the largest in the premium segment. This makes us believe that the battery pack will likely be placed under the footboard.
Moreover, the brand will also launch its fast charger setup known as the Simple Loop. The EV maker claims it to be capable of charging the battery for up to 2.5km in just one minute. Simple will deploy more than 300 of these fast chargers throughout India in the coming months and it will be convenient to use for all kinds of electric scooters.

The Simple One sources its juice from a 4.8kWh lithium-ion battery and claims to offer a range of 240km in Eco mode. The top speed will be limited to 100kmph, and it can sprint from 0-50kmph in just 3.6 seconds.
It’ll have the Ather 450X, TVS iQube, Revolt RV 400 electric motorcycle and the upcoming Ola electric scooter (also launching on August 15) in its crosshair.
