Simple Ultra Price Revealed: 400KM Range, Powerful Battery & Smart Tech Features

Bengaluru-based Simple Energy has officially raised the bar in the electric two-wheeler segment with the launch of the Simple Ultra. Positioned as a high-performance, long-distance flagship, the Ultra targets enthusiasts who want to eliminate range anxiety without compromising on speed or technology.

Starting at ₹2,34,999, the Simple Ultra enters the ring against premium rivals like the Ather 450 Apex, Ola S1 Pro, and the TVS X. With a massive 400 km IDC-claimed range and a sophisticated electronics suite, we’ve analyzed the dual-battery setup, the quad-core dashboard, and the extensive warranty plans to bring you the ultimate breakdown.

Performance

The Simple Ultra is currently one of the fastest-accelerating scooters in India, hitting 0-40 kmph in just 2.77 seconds. This puts it in the elite territory of “performance” EVs, rivalling the mid-range acceleration of 200cc petrol motorcycles.

• Motor: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM).

• Output: 11.80 bhp peak power and a massive 72 Nm of peak torque.

• Top Speed: 115 kmph, making it highly capable for highway stints.

• Riding Modes: Includes multiple modes (Eco, Ride, Dash, and Sonic) to balance performance and battery life.

400 KM Range

• Dual Battery Tech: The Ultra uses a total capacity of 6.5 kWh, split into a 5 kWh fixed battery and a 1.5 kWh auxiliary setup.

• Claimed Range: An industry-leading 400 km (IDC). While real-world range will vary based on riding modes, it is expected to comfortably cross the 250-280 km mark in mixed conditions.

• Durability: The battery pack is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and can survive being submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Technology

The dashboard isn’t just a screen; it’s a computer. It is powered by a 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with 2GB RAM—specs more commonly found in entry-level smartphones than scooter consoles.

• Display: 7-inch TFT touchscreen LCD running SimpleOS (based on Android 12).

• Navigation: Features in-built MapMyIndia support, ensuring precise turn-by-turn navigation without needing a phone mount.

• Safety Tech: Includes a “Drop-safe” feature that automatically cuts off power to the motor if the scooter falls, and Hill Hold (Super Hold) for effortless starts on steep inclines.

• Convenience: Cruise control (operable between 20-80 kmph) and “Guide-me-home” lights.

Hardware & Safety

Despite the heavy battery pack, the Ultra maintains a relatively lean 139 kg curb weight. This is achieved through a high-strength steel tubular chassis that balances rigidity with weight optimization.

• Suspension: Telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock.

• Braking: Disc brakes at both ends with Combined Braking System (CBS) for shorter stopping distances.

• Ground Clearance: A healthy 172 mm, paired with a 300 mm water-wading capacity, making it well-suited for Indian monsoon conditions.

Warranty & Charging

Simple Energy is offering an industry-leading extended warranty of up to 8 years or 80,000 km, showing significant confidence in their battery chemistry and motor longevity.

• Fast Charging: 0 to 80% in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

• Home Charging: Supports a 750W portable charger for standard domestic sockets.

• Network: Currently operating across 70 touchpoints in major metros, with upcoming expansion into Ranchi, Nagpur, and Bhubaneswar.

Pricing & Variants (India)

The Simple Ultra is positioned as a premium, single-variant flagship:

• Simple Ultra Price: ₹2,34,999 (Ex-showroom)

• Deliveries: Already underway at authorized dealerships.

Pros & Cons

Who Should Buy the Simple Ultra

• Buy the Simple Ultra if you are an early adopter who wants the absolute best in terms of range and technology. It is perfect for those who want to use their electric scooter for long weekend rides or those who don’t want to charge their vehicle every single day.

• Do NOT buy if you are looking for a budget-friendly commuter. For pure city usage, the Ola S1 Air or Ather 450S offer much better value for money.
