In 2025 the electric scooter with the longest battery life (range) in India is the Simple One Gen 1.5, offering an impressive IDC- certified range of 248 km per charge.
Why Simple One Gen 1.5 has the longest battery life?
Massive Battery Capacity:
The Simple One Gen 1.5 has a total battery capacity of 5 kWh (4.8 kWh usable). That’s way higher than typical e-scooters, which mostly have 2.5 to 4 kWh batteries.
Dual Battery Setup:
It uses a fixed + removable battery combination. This dual system allows it to carry more energy without making the scooter feel bulky.
Efficient Motor and Controller:
The motor and power train are tuned for efficiency, not just performance. So, it uses less energy per km compared to sportier models.
Regenerative Braking:
Simple One has a decent regen braking system which charges the battery a little during braking, stretching the range further.
Optimized Weight Distribution:
Even with a large battery, the scooter maintains a relatively light and aerodynamic design, improving energy efficiency.
Eco Mode Focus:
In Eco mode, the scooter really stretches range. They claim up to 212 km under ideal conditions because the power delivery is extremely conservative in this mode.
