According to Simple Energy, the first B2B product has been developed in-house, and will have maximum usage of IoT (Internet of Things) at the best possible price. The electric two-wheeler will also come with a removable battery which will offer battery-swapping and a modular design. The company claims that its B2B two-wheeler will be purpose-built to reduce maintenance costs, and to also address issues of low speed on electric two-wheelers with high loads.
