The premium electric scooter segment continues to see a focus on performance-focused offerings, with the newly launched Simple Ultra and the popular Ather 450 Apex targeting buyers looking beyond basic urban mobility. While both models deliver strong acceleration and high top speeds, they differ notably in terms of their individual approaches to pricing, range, and features.

Simple Ultra Vs Ather 450 Apex: Price

The Simple Ultra is positioned at the higher end of the segment, with a starting price of ₹2.34 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it among the more expensive electric scooters currently available on our shores, reflecting its focus on range and performance.
