Claims to offer a whopping 240km range in one single charge
Bangalore based EV startup Simple Energy has slated the launch of the Mark 2 for May 2021. Simple Energy claims that the Mark 2 e-scooter will have enough juice to cover 240km in Eco mode on one full charge. If this claim is true, it will be the electric scooter with the highest range on sale in India. The powertrain will consist of a 4.2kWh battery coupled with an electric motor to generate 9.5PS of power and 72Nm of torque. Talking about performance, Simple Energy claims a top speed of 100kmph and acceleration from 0 to 50kmph in 3.6 seconds. Do check out the list of scooters that we expect in India for 2021.
The Mark 2 e-scooter will feature three riding modes- Eco, Normal and Sports. It will also have an IP67 rated touchscreen display, built-in navigation, and Bluetooth connectivity. Simple Energy will first launch the Mark 2 in Bangalore and Delhi followed by Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad.
We expect it to be priced around Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) and once launched, Simple Energy’s Mark 2 will compete against the Bajaj Chetak, Ather 450X. For reference, the Bajaj Chetak has a maximum range of 95km and the Ather 450X juices out at 85km. Our team has ridden the Ather 450X and here’s what it’s like in the real world.

- Range Issue
It’s been 3 weeks I bought Simple One in Bangalore Marathahalli Showroom. While buying g this I had enquired Ather, Ola as well. Ather was fantastic but didn’t go for it because of its low range. OLA didn’t like riding comfort and also due the on going service issues didn’t preferred. Finally I choose Simple one over Ather because of only one reason ‘190’ km range what they claimed. But it it really failed and didn’t meet the said range, so far I had driven 210km mostly in Eco mode only (max 20km would have driven in ride mode which is is just above the Eco mode) and charged 3 times. When I raise this issue to service centre they have updated software and assured the problem should be solved. Surprisingly the issue still exist and it gave me only ~60km in a full charge, when I raise this issue to service centre (Mahadevapura, Blr) they said scooter has to ride at least 500km then things will fall in place. If that’s the case don’t know why they didn’t told me when I raised initially
