Earlier, it was initially planned to be launched in only three cities Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. But when the annual production capacity at its plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu reached 10 lakhs, the company decided to expand the business in this phase. The company's founder and CEO Suhas Rajkumar said that he is getting applications for booking from many cities around the country. In view of this, the company will try to fulfill their demands and hence decided to start its first phase vigorously.

The Simple One electric scooter will have a 4.8 kWh lithium-ion battery, which will provide a range of 240 km on a single charge in Eco mode. It has already been reported that its battery is detached from the scooter, which will make it easier to charge. Its maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour, while in just 3.5 seconds it can accelerate from 0 to 50 kilometers.
