Electric mobility firm, Simple Energy has revealed its plans to officially launch its new EV on May 23.
The company had previously showcased the scooter and announced a price, but there was radio silence about the commencement of deliveries after that.
In the meantime, many incidents of electric scooters catching fire (due to thermal runaways) surfaced online, prompting the government to clamp down on makers and sellers of re-badged Chinese electric scooters.
Subsequently, the Automotive Industry Standards (AIS) amendment 3 was introduced, which ensures better battery safety.
At the time, Simple Energy had said that it will push forward the launch of the Simple One electric scooter to comply with the new norms.
The company claims that the Simple One is currently the only electric scooter to comply with the new norms.
Its sharp design, performance and handling were some of its highlights.
The e-scooter, at the time, had an 8.5kW motor that produced 72Nm. Its 4.8kWh lithium-ion battery capacity translates to a claimed range of 236km, which is higher than any other scooter sold in India.
