Customers waiting to bring their Simple One electric scooter home will have to wait a bit more as its deliveries have been delayed once again, this time to make the e-scooter compliant with the new battery standards issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) recently, that makes it required for brands to ensure that they are designed to operate in Indian conditions.
This is not the first time the company has pushed the delivery timeline of its electric scooter. Originally, the deliveries were supposed to begin in July this year, but first pushed from July to September and then to October. Now, the scooters will be handed over to its customers in the first quarter of 2023.
