Simple Ultra Electric Scooter Launched in India
Simple Energy has officially launched its most ambitious electric scooter yet, the Simple Ultra, in India at a starting price of ₹2,34,999 (ex-showroom). The Bengaluru-based EV startup has also confirmed that deliveries are already underway, making this more than just a showcase product.
From what I see, this launch signals a clear intent from the company to dominate the long-range premium electric scooter segment, rather than just compete in the crowded urban commuter space.
Quick Highlights:
- Launched at ₹2.34 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Claimed range of 400 km (IDC)
- Top speed of 115 km/h with strong acceleration
- Powered by a 6.5 kWh battery pack
400 km Range: A Big Statement
The headline feature here is the claimed 400 km IDC range, which immediately places the Simple Ultra among the longest-range electric scooters in India.
It is powered by a 6.5 kWh battery pack, significantly larger than what most rivals currently offer. In practical terms, while real-world numbers will be lower, this kind of range could still redefine expectations for daily usability and even occasional inter-city travel.
Personally, this is where the Ultra feels genuinely different. Most scooters are built for city hops; this one is clearly aiming beyond that.
Performance That Matches the Range
The Simple Ultra is not just about range—it brings serious performance to the table as well:
- Top speed: 115 km/h
- 0–40 km/h acceleration: 2.77 seconds
These figures position it as one of the fastest electric scooters in India right now.
It also comes equipped with a 7-inch rider console and four-level traction control, which should improve stability across varying road conditions. This is a welcome addition, especially considering the performance potential on offer.

Competition Check: Taking on the Best
At this price point, the Simple Ultra goes head-to-head with established premium players like:
- Ola S1 Pro
- Ather 450 Apex
- TVS iQube ST
However, what sets the Ultra apart is its significantly higher claimed range, which could be a decisive factor for buyers dealing with range anxiety.
Deliveries and Expansion Plans
Simple Energy has confirmed that test rides and deliveries have already begun through its dealership network.
Currently, the company operates around 70 touchpoints across India, including key cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, and Patna. Expansion is already planned for Nagpur, Ranchi, and Bhubaneswar.
This growing network will be crucial, because for a product like this, after-sales support can make or break the ownership experience.

Part of a Larger 2026 Strategy
The Ultra is the fourth product action from Simple Energy in 2026, following updates to:
- Simple One Gen 2 (236 km and 265 km range options)
- Simple OneS Gen 2 (190 km range)
With Ultra, the company is clearly sharpening its focus on high-performance, long-range electric mobility.
Positioning: Who Is This For?
The Simple Ultra is not trying to be an everyday budget scooter. It is aimed at riders who:
- Want maximum range without compromise
- Value performance as much as practicality
- Are open to paying a premium price for cutting-edge specs
In my view, this is a niche but growing audience—especially among early adopters and long-distance commuters.
Official Statement
Suhas Rajkumar, Founder and CEO of Simple Energy, said:
“At Simple Energy, we engineer with intent. The Simple Ultra is built for riders who demand extreme range and performance without compromise. With a 400 km IDC range and high-performance architecture, it sets a new benchmark for electric two-wheelers in India.”
If the real-world performance and reliability live up to these claims, the Simple Ultra could genuinely shift how people think about electric scooters in India—not just as city commuters, but as versatile, long-distance machines.
