Bengaluru-based startup, Simple Energy launched its flagship electric scooter on August 15 at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom Bengaluru). The pre-bookings commenced on the same day at Rs 1947, and in just four days, the scooter has managed to garner over 30,000 bookings.
The Simple One’s instant popularity could be partly credited to its ARAI-certified range of 230km in eco mode. In fact, the claimed real-world range of 203km in the same mode, is over 22km than the newly-launched Ola Electric S1. The Simple One comes with a unique combination of a fixed battery, and a removable battery pack that promises 60km range. It takes approximately 3 hours for the battery to charge to 80 percent.

The Simple One will debut in 75 cities in 13 states in the next four to seven months. Simple Energy will also commence setting up its public charging network, called the Simple Loop in these cities.
