Simple, the Bengaluru-based startup, recently launched the updated OneS and One. Now, the brand is testing its family-centric scooter that could be launched in the months to come. We have also learnt that this scooter will be named ‘Arrive’. Here are all the things we can deduce from the images.
1. Simple Arrive gets a more conventional design compared to the One
2. Gets twin shock absorbers and a drum brake at the rear
3. Comes with a single-piece seat and a centre stand
Simple family scooter: What to expect
Arrive could rival Ather Rizta and TVS iQube
The design of the Arrive hints at a departure from the One’s sharp and angular bodywork. It is in line with conventional, family-centric EVs that the brand aims to take on, namely the Ather Rizta, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.
The differences between the One range and the Arrive are quite apparent, with the latter getting twin shock absorbers, a flat single-piece seat, a centre-stand and a shroud on the right side of the motor.
The headlight is mounted on the apron along with a short wind deflector above it. In contrast, the tail-light seems to be a thin strip, similar to the TVS Orbiter and Ather Rizta. The scooter also gets a storage cubby and a TFT dash.
Currently, Simple's portfolio comprises of the One and One S, with the former coming with an option a larger 5kWh battery pack and a 4.5kWh pack, the latter gets a smaller 3.7kWh battery pack. It remains to be seen if Simple incorporates either one of these battery packs for their family-scooter or debuts an all-new battery pack.
The Simple One range, including the more affordable OneS, comes with a disc setup at both ends, whereas the Arrive features a drum at the rear and continues with a disc at the front. The Arrive continues to run on the same wheels as the One; the wheel size, too, is likely to remain unchanged. For reference, the Simple One has a 12-inch (F/R) setup.
