Remember when buying a car meant spending weekends visiting showrooms, haggling with salespeople, and drowning in paperwork? Well, those days just got disrupted—big time.
Simple Energy, Bengaluru’s electric scooter manufacturer, just made history by becoming one of the first Indian EV brands to sell electric scooters directly through Amazon India and Flipkart. Yes, you read that right. You can now buy an electric scooter with the same ease as ordering a smartphone—complete with doorstep delivery.

The Amazon-Flipkart Revolution
Simple Energy has partnered with Amazon India and Flipkart to offer doorstep delivery of its flagship electric scooters—the Simple One Gen 1.5 and Simple OneS. Customers can browse specifications, compare models, book online, and have their new electric scooter delivered directly to their homes.
This isn’t just convenient—it’s transformative for India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where EV showrooms remain scarce.
Diwali Deals That Actually Make Sense
Timing is everything, and Simple Energy nailed it. The company launched special Diwali discounts through Amazon India’s Great Indian Festival (valid till October 20, 2025) and Flipkart’s Big Bang Diwali Sale (valid till October 24, 2025).
Here’s where the savings get interesting:

Meet the Scooters: Which One’s Right for You?
Simple One Gen 1.5: The Range King
India’s longest-range electric scooter boasts a 248 km IDC range and accelerates from 0–40 km/h in 2.77 seconds. Priced at ₹1,71,944 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), it’s packed with tech:
- 30-liter under-seat storage (fits a full-face helmet!)
- App integration with navigation
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates
- Regenerative braking
- TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
- USB charging port
- Available in six colors
Perfect for: Long-distance commuters, tech enthusiasts, and those who refuse to compromise on range.
Simple OneS: The Performance Beast
Delivering 181 km IDC range with a top speed of 105 km/h and 0–40 km/h acceleration in 2.55 seconds, this scooter is priced at ₹1,54,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Key features:

Beyond E-Commerce: Simple’s Grand Expansion
While the online partnership grabs headlines, Simple Energy’s offline game is equally impressive. Currently operating 57 showrooms across major cities like Bengaluru, Goa, Pune, Hyderabad, and Jaipur, the company plans to expand to 150 new stores and 200 service centers nationwide by FY 2026.
This dual strategy—strong online presence plus robust physical infrastructure—addresses both convenience and service concerns that typically plague EV adoption.
Why This Matters: The Bigger Picture
Founded in 2019 by Suhas Rajkumar and co-founders Shreshth Mishra and Ankit Gupta, Simple Energy manufactures its own motors, batteries, chassis, and software in-house—a rarity in India’s EV space. They even offer an 8-year motor warranty, signaling serious confidence in their engineering.
Suhas Rajkumar, Founder & CEO, said: “Diwali symbolizes progress and new beginnings, making it the perfect moment to advance our mission of democratizing electric mobility. Through our partnership with Amazon India and Flipkart, we’re expanding our reach across India, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.”
The Convenience Factor: What Changes?
Traditional Buying:
- Visit showroom (possibly hours away)
- Limited test ride slots
- Negotiate pricing
- Handle registration paperwork
- Wait for delivery
Amazon/Flipkart Buying:
- Browse anytime from home
- Compare specs side-by-side
- Transparent pricing with festive discounts
- Doorstep delivery
- Same warranty and support
It’s not perfect—you miss the test ride—but for buyers already familiar with electric scooters or those prioritizing convenience over showroom visits, it’s revolutionary.
The Real Question: Should You Buy?
If you’re considering an electric scooter and value: ✅ Industry-leading range (248 km) ✅ Transparent online pricing ✅ Festive discounts saving up to ₹16,434 ✅ Doorstep delivery convenience ✅ Strong service network expansion plans ✅ Made-in-India engineering
Then browsing Simple Energy on Amazon or Flipkart makes absolute sense—especially before October 24 when the Diwali offers expire.
The Bottom Line
Simple Energy‘s partnership with Amazon and Flipkart isn’t just about selling scooters online—it’s about reimagining how Indians buy vehicles. By combining digital-first convenience with aggressive retail expansion and genuinely competitive products, Simple Energy is betting that the future of EV adoption lies not in traditional dealerships but in the familiar, trusted platforms Indians already use daily.
The revolution won’t be televised. It’ll be delivered to your doorstep.
