Same Battery But More Range
The Simple One electric scooter is propelled by a robust electric motor that delivers a peak power output of 8.5 kW and a substantial 72 Nm of torque.

With a top speed of 105 km/h and a blistering 0-40 km/h acceleration time of just 2.77 seconds.

The scooter boasts a robust chassis, featuring a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock at the rear. Rolling on 12-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 90-section tubeless tires, it offers a confident and stable ride. Braking performance is assured by a 200mm front disc and a 190mm rear disc, further enhanced by a Combined Braking System (CBS) for optimal stopping power. At 134kg, the scooter strikes a balance between agility and stability, while the seat height is set at 775mm.
