Simple Energy Scooters

It’s been 3 weeks since I bought Simple One in Bangalore Marathahalli Showroom. While buying this I enquired about Ather, and Ola as well. Ather was fantastic but didn’t go for it because of its low range. OLA didn’t like riding comfort and also due to the ongoing service issues didn’t prefer it. Finally, I chose Simple one over Ather because of only one reason ‘190’ km range what they claimed. But it failed and didn’t meet the said range, so far I have driven 210km mostly in Eco mode only (max 20km would have driven in ride mode which is just above the Eco mode) and charged 3 times. When I raised this issue to the service center they updated the software and assured me the problem should be solved. Surprisingly the issue still exists and it gave me only ~60km in full charge, when I raised this issue to the service center (Mahadevapura, Blr) they said the scooter has to ride at least 500km and then things will fall in place. If that’s the case don’t know why they didn’t tell me when I raised concern for the first time, that indicates their inexperience towards the problems. I am still struggling with the range issue. Also scooter doesn’t allow changes in ride modes when the battery level is less than 40% which I don’t see user friendly as the user should choose what they want and plan their ride accordingly and not by the manufacturer, I believe it makes sense if it is enforced when the battery level is 10% or so. Doesn’t allow to switch to dash mode at below 60% battery level. Rest is okay, of course, they are still in the process of releasing s/w updates for other features like Bluetooth connectivity. My suggestion is to think twice before you choose this brand
