Simple One electric scooter with 300km range announced: check price, availability

Simple One offers over 300km range with new battery pack

The additional battery pack has a 1.6 kWh capacity. The company claims that the battery pack will allow the Simple One to travel over 300km. The scooter has a range of nearly 235km without the additional battery pack. The additional battery can be stored in the scooter’s boot. Simple One comes with an 8.5 kW motor, capable of producing 72Nm torque. It has a 30L boot storage. Simple One features onboard navigation, riding modes, phone app, call and music control, and much more.

Suhas Rajkumar, CEO and founder of Simple Energy, commented, “When we conceived the Simple One, we had the aim of offering an electric scooter that could offer enough range for users to not have to worry about range or charging. Offering an extra battery will allow power users to reach destinations that no other electric two-wheeler in India can. This additional battery can easily fit in the boot of the scooter offering a range of over 300 km. This is a big milestone – not just for Simple Energy, but for the EV industry. This move will also go a long way in bolstering the perception of electric scooters.”
