The electric scooter landscape in India is rapidly evolving as manufacturers race to deliver better performance, higher range, and smarter tech. Taking centre stage in early 2026 is Simple Energy’s latest launch — the Simple One Gen 2 electric scooter. Officially launched in January 2026, this new generation e-scooter brings significant upgrades in battery efficiency, performance, design, and user experience, making it one of the most talked-about electric two‑wheelers in the market.

Whether you’re an urban commuter, tech enthusiast, or eco-conscious rider, the Simple One Gen 2 aims to redefine how you view daily mobility with an electric scooter. From notable range improvements to industry-first warranty coverage, this expansion of the Simple portfolio highlights the company’s ambitions in India’s EV revolution.

Why Simple One Gen 2 Is a Game Changer for EV Scooters in India

Simple Energy has taken consumer feedback from previous models and transformed it into meaningful hardware and software upgrades. With the Gen 2 lineup, the scooter not only improves in performance and comfort but also delivers assurances many buyers have been waiting for — including a lifetime warranty on motor and battery, a feature rarely offered in the industry.

In a market dominated by players like Ather, Ola, and TVS, the Simple One Gen 2 stands out thanks to its balance of range, performance, connectivity, and warranty coverage. It doesn’t just chase specs — it focuses on real‑world usability for Indian riders.

Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Simple One Gen 2

1. Design and Build – More Refined and Rider‑Focused

The Simple One Gen 2 receives a refreshed design with cleaner lines, sleeker bodywork, and better structural reinforcement around the battery housing — aimed at improved ride quality and stability. Engineers even toned down the seat height and enhanced suspension for enhanced comfort during long rides.

Standout features include:

Lower, ergonomic seat height for rider comfort
Reinforced battery crash zones for better safety
Sportier seat foam and improved suspension tuning
Aerodynamic styling and modern silhouette

2. Powertrain and Performance – Quick and Capable

Under the hood (or beneath the footboard) the Simple One Gen 2 lineup boosts performance across variants:

Motor: Up to 8.8 kW peak power
Torque: 72 Nm on top variants
Acceleration: 0–40 km/h in around 2.55 seconds
Top Speed: Up to 115 km/h on the 5 kWh version
Weight Reduction: ~8 kg lighter overall compared to previous versions

These numbers not only make it one of the quicker scooters in its class but also give it confidence on city roads and beyond.

3. Battery and Range – Closes Range Anxiety

The standout highlight of the Gen 2 series is the flagship range achievement:

6.5 kWh (Simple Ultra): Up to 400 km IDC range on a single charge — making it one of India’s longest‑range electric scooters.
5 kWh Variant: Around 265 km IDC range
4.5 kWh Variant: Around 236 km IDC range
Simple OneS Gen 2 (3.7 kWh): Around 190 km IDC range

Multiple riding modes and regenerative braking enhance efficiency and energy recovery while riding.

4. Features and Tech – Smart, Connected, and User‑Friendly

Simple One Gen 2 is stacked with user‑centric features that enhance convenience and connectivity:

7‑inch touchscreen TFT display (Gen 2)
Dedicated charging port and 1‑litre glove box
Traction control and four‑level regenerative braking
Cruise control for comfortable highway riding
5G e‑SIM support with Bluetooth, OTA updates, navigation, and TPMS
IP65 water & dust resistance for all‑weather reliability

These upgrades make the scooter feel modern, intuitive, and ready for daily smart usage — rivals often lack this depth of connectivity at similar price points.

5. Lifetime Warranty – Confidence You Can Ride With

One of the biggest confidence boosters for prospective buyers is the industry‑leading lifetime warranty on both motor and battery that Simple Energy is offering across the Gen 2 portfolio. On top of this, the scooter also gets a 3‑year/30,000 km vehicle warranty and a 3‑year/20,000 km charger warranty, reducing long‑term ownership anxiety.

This warranty package is a bold step that differentiates SimpleEnergy from competitors and directly addresses buyers’ concerns around long‑term battery degradation and motor reliability — two critical factors in EV ownership decisions.

6. Variants and Price Range

The Simple One Gen 2 scooter is offered in multiple configurations to suit different needs and budgets:

Simple OneS Gen 2: Entry‑model with 3.7 kWh battery (190 km range)
Simple One Gen 2 (4.5 kWh): Mid‑range (236 km range)
Simple One Gen 2 (5 kWh): Higher‑range (265 km range)
Simple Ultra (6.5 kWh): Flagship with up to 400 km range

Introductory prices for the Gen 2 line‑up start from around ₹1,39,999 (ex‑showroom, Bengaluru) and vary by battery size and features — making it competitive in the high‑range electric scooter segment.

7. Availability and Expansion Plans

Simple Energy already has showrooms in major cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Kochi, Goa, Jaipur, and Vizag, and is expanding rapidly with plans to reach 150 dealerships and 200 service centres by March 2026. The scooters are also available online through major platforms like Amazon and Flipkart.

The company is also preparing for an IPO in FY27, showing strong confidence in its long‑term EV strategy.

With a 400 km range flagship variant, smart technology, lighter design, multiple riding modes, and an industry‑first lifetime motor and battery warranty, it’s tailored to address the real concerns of Indian EV buyers — especially range anxiety and long‑term reliability.
