Simple Energy launches Gen 2 Simple One Scooters, unveils 400 km IDC Simple Ultra

With this launch, Simple Energy now offers four distinct electric scooter models, each engineered to serve clearly defined rider segments while reinforcing the company’s focus on reducing range anxiety and accelerating electric mobility adoption in India.

Simple Energy, a Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer known for its in-house R&D and first-principles engineering approach, has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of Gen 2 variants of the Simple One and Simple OneS, alongside the debut of Simple Ultra, India’s longest-range electric scooter.

The newly introduced Simple Ultra becomes India’s first electric scooter to offer a 400 km IDC-certified range, addressing one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption—range anxiety. Powered by a 6.5 kWh battery, the largest ever fitted on an electric scooter in India, Simple Ultra sets a new benchmark in the electric two-wheeler segment.

In addition to its class-leading range, Simple Ultra delivers strong performance credentials, offering a top speed of 115 kmph and 0–40 kmph acceleration in just 2.77 seconds. The scooter is positioned as India’s second-fastest electric scooter, second only to the Simple OneS, combining extreme range with real-world ride performance.

The Simple OneS Gen 2 now offers an improved IDC range of 190 km and is priced at INR 1,49,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Meanwhile, the Simple One Gen 2 is now available in two battery configurations. The 4.5 kWh variant delivers an IDC-certified range of 236 km, with prices starting at INR 1,69,999, while the 5 kWh variant extends the range to 265 km IDC, priced from INR 1,77,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru).

As part of a limited-time introductory offer, the Gen 2 lineup starts at INR 1,39,999, making the new range more accessible to early adopters. The Simple One (4.5 kWh), Simple One (5 kWh), and Simple OneS are available for immediate purchase.

The Gen 2 scooters are now on sale across 61+ Simple Energy showrooms in key cities including Bengaluru, Goa, Pune, Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, Jaipur, and Mangalore. Customers can also purchase the scooters online through Amazon and Flipkart. The newly unveiled Simple Ultra will be available for pre-booking at Simple Energy showrooms.

With this launch, Simple Energy now offers four distinct electric scooter models, each engineered to serve clearly defined rider segments while reinforcing the company’s focus on reducing range anxiety and accelerating electric mobility adoption in India.

Launching the variants, Suhas Rajkumar, Founder & CEO, Simple Energy, said, “At Simple Energy, we engineer with intent. Our Gen 2 portfolio reflects a deliberate, innovation-first approach – offering differentiated products across range and performance needs, all built for real-world reliability. Indian commuters are not one-size-fits-all, and a growing segment clearly demands extreme range and performance without compromise. Simple Ultra is built precisely for that customer. Backed by over four years of in-house R&D, it delivers an industry-first 400 km IDC range, setting a new benchmark for electric two-wheelers in India. With a portfolio designed to meet diverse rider needs from day one, we’re not just launching scooters—we’re delivering confidence, freedom, and truly anxiety-free electric mobility.”

Built on Simple Energy’s advanced in-house engineering architecture, the expanded portfolio delivers enhanced range, performance, and long-term durability.
