The tubular steel chassis and custom aluminium swing arm of the Simple One electric scooter makes it look more appealing. It is equipped with both fixed and removable (portable) batteries. It performs well with an outstanding peak motor output of 8.5 kW and a peak torque of 72 Nm. The scooter has a 5 kWh battery pack, which gives it a remarkable stated range of 212 kilometres, the highest in its class, according to IDC. Additionally, it offers four different riding modes for users to choose from: Eco, Ride, Dash, and Sonic. Simple ONE is also the fastest E2W in its segment, sprinting to 0-40 kmph at a whopping 2.77 seconds.

The scooter can be charged from 0% to 80% in around 5 hours and 54 minutes using both home and portable charging options. In addition, the business will start offering a 750W charging option in September, and the Loop fast charging network is expected to start operating in August.

The company has established a strong distribution network and is actively collaborating with authorized dealers to ensure prompt deliveries and effective after-sales support. Additionally, the company has plans to expand its retail presence to 40-50 cities through a network of 160-180 retail stores.
Earlier this year, the Bengaluru-based start-up proudly inaugurated its latest manufacturing facility, Simple Vision 1.0, located in Shoolagiri, Tamil Nadu. This state-of-the-art plant has a substantial annual production capacity of around one million units.
