Bengaluru-based Simple Energy has launched the updated One electric scooter with new features and an increased range. The 2025 Simple One Gen 1.5 promises an extended range of 248 km (IDC) on a single charge, up from 212 km on a single charge on the previous version. This makes it India’s longest-range electric scooter currently on sale. Moreover, the upgrades come at no extra cost with the Simple One priced at ₹1.66 lakh (ex-showroom).
Simple One Gen 1.5: More Range
Simple Energy uses the same battery setup comprising a 3.7 kWh fixed battery pack and a 1.2 kWh removable battery but has optimised the software to improve range. The updated scooter gets no visual or mechanical changes but features a tweaked Eco mode along with higher levels of coasting regen and braking regen to improve efficiency. This has helped improve the overall range to 248 km, the highest on any made-in-India electric two-wheeler.
