The side panels carry a flowing wave motif. There are sturdy casted mirrors, and the tail-fin-inspired grab handles offer a secure grip for passengers.

Which Simple Wave Variant Is Right for You?
The correct Simple Wave variant depends on what your daily mileage requirements are, the amount of storage that you need and your final budget for digital screen interfaces.
For the Short-Distance Commuter: Simple Wave S
If your daily commutes are mostly stuck between local errands, school drops, or a brief office commute, the Simple Wave S (2.2 kWh EBN) at ₹ 1.10 lakh is more than capable of meeting these requirements every day. It has the same foundational safety features, the spacious 920 mm seat, and offers 70 litres of storage at the lowest possible entry price.
For the Practical Family Buyer: Simple Wave
Buyers who want a slightly higher range while going for weekly groceries and family errands should get the Simple Wave (3.7 kWh) instead. At ₹ 1.60 lakh for the EBN trim, it returns a highly usable 171 km range and also offers the full 90 kmph top speed.
For the Long-Distance Power User: Simple Wave+
If you need cross-city travel capacity and want the absolute specification kit, the Simple Wave+ (5.0 kWh) is the logical answer then. At ₹ 1.90 lakh, you get a 243 km range, rapid 3.3-second acceleration to 40 kmph and the advanced 7-inch TFT display as standard. It gets rid of frequent charging stops as well.
