Simple Energy to launch two new affordable e-scooters in the coming quarter
- The new two electric scooters will sit below the Simple One in the line-up.
Simple Energy has announced that they will be launching two new electric scooters in the Indian market. The new scooters will sit below Simple One and will be launched in the coming quarter. This will help Simple in expanding its lineup. The current Simple One is priced between ₹1.45 lakh and ₹1.5 lakh, depending on the colour scheme.
So, it can be expected that the new scooters will be priced around ₹1 lakh and ₹1.2 lakh. The battery pack on the scooters will be smaller so the riding range on a single charge will also decrease. The feature list will also decrease to keep the price in check. As of now, it is not known whether there will be some cosmetic differences between the three variants or not. However, considering the looks of the Simple One, it is expected that the new scooters should look good. Once launched, the new scooters will be competing against TVS iQube, Ather 450X and Ola S1 Air.
