The additional battery pack costs Rs 35,000
Simple Energy, a Bengaluru-based startup, has introduced an additional battery pack for its electric scooter, the Simple One. The variant with the extra battery pack is priced at Rs 1,44,999 (ex-showroom).
The standard version of the e-scooter is powered by a 4.8kWh battery pack (one fixed and one removable) that lends it a claimed range of 236km in ideal conditions. Now, with the additional 1.6kWh battery, the total capacity stands at 6.4kWh, lending a claimed range of over 300km in ideal conditions.
The additional battery pack is priced at Rs 35,000, and it shall be placed in the e-scooter's boot which would ultimately eat up the storage space. Customers can opt for this additional battery pack during the final payment.

The standard version of the e-scooter with a single battery pack is priced at Rs 1,09,999 (ex-showroom) and the deliveries of the Simple One shall commence from June this year.
While the extra battery is a much welcome addition, it does reduce the scooter’s practicality factor by eating up into the storage space. That said, the boot space is generous at 30 litres, and we do hope the extra battery pack doesn’t take up too much room. Recently, the company also upgraded the electric scooter's motor that delivers 4.5kW and 72Nm. This motor takes the e-scooter from 0-100kmph in 2.85 seconds, making it about 0.10 seconds quicker than before.
In India, the Simple One competes with the Ather 450X and the Ola S1 Pro.

- 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
