The Simple One will be available in four color options: Azure Blue, Brazen Black, Grace White, and Namma Red. Similar electric scooters currently available in the market include the Okaya Faast F2T, iVOOMi Jeet X, Odysse Trot, and the Lambretta V125, which is set to launch in India in June 2023.
Positives:

- There is ample space on the floorboard, allowing for convenient storage or leg positioning.
Areas for Improvement:
- The lean angles could be improved to enhance the bike’s maneuverability and cornering capabilities.

- The brand recall could be stronger, possibly benefiting from increased marketing efforts to enhance awareness and recognition.
