Simple Energy has announced the test ride schedule for its flagship scooter - the Simple ONE. The test rides will be conducted in 13 cities across India and open to consumers who are interested in trying out the much anticipated electric scooter. According to the schedule provided by the company, the first phase of test rides will begin on the 20th of July in Bangalore, followed by Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Panaji and other cities. Customers can reserve test ride slots on the company's website. Simple also intends to conduct tests in several more cities in the upcoming months.
Keeping in mind the safety standards and
the recent incidents in the EV industry, Simple had taken a conscious call of
deferring the deliveries of the ONE. Thus, the deliveries begin soon after the
test rides, with the scooter being priced at Rs 1,09,999 (ex-showroom) for the
standard variant with a real-world range of 203 km (up to 236 km in ideal
conditions), and Rs 1,44,999 (ex-showroom) for the long-range configuration
with over 300 km of range via an additional battery pack. It can be pre-booked
at Rs 1,947 online.
With more products in the pipeline and the
core focus on R&D, Simple Energy eyes to be at the forefront of the ongoing
global transition to green mobility. Its flagship product, Simple ONE, will be
produced at a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.
Alongside this, it has also commissioned a second plant in Dharmapuri, Tamil
Nadu, which will spread across 600 acres and have a capacity of 12.5 million
units annually.
