YOUR PERFECT DAILY RIDE
FOUR REASONS TO LOVE THE ASTRO
Smart Riding Without the Complexity
Lock when your Astro is parked, see how far you've gone, adjust your speed on the fly. The Green Drive™ app gives you the control that matters without drowning you in features you'll never use.
Smooth Out the Chaos
Front suspension absorbs the potholes, cracks, and rough patches that make streets a nightmare. Your wrists and back will thank you.
Always Seen, Always Safe
Permanent taillight keeps you lit up from start to finish. Integrated turn signals mean cars actually know where you're going. Because the best accident is the one that never happens.
Information When It Matters
Smart LED display delivers the essentials—how fast you're going, how much charge you've got, what mode you're in.
Why Choose the Astro Electric Scooter
MORE CAPABLE THAN YOU'D EXPECT
Front suspension absorbs the potholes, cracks, and rough patches that make our streets challenging. Need to cross grass, ride gravel paths, or take a park shortcut? The Astro handles moderate terrain with confidence.
INDICATE WITHOUT LETTING GO
Rear-mounted turn signals communicate your intentions clearly to traffic behind you. No need to release the handlebars for hand signals. Stay in control, stay visible, stay safe on every ride.
JUST FOLD AND GO
3-second folding mechanism means no wrestling with complicated latches. One smooth motion and you're ready to go.
SAFETY BY DESIGN
Explosion-proof metal housing surrounds your battery at all times. It's the kind of safety feature you hope you never need, but you'll be glad it's there.

Such a great way to commute to work and back home. Falling more in love with each ride. So fun!
Such a relief knowing TCC is available at anytime to chat possible future concerns and fixes.
I found that the instruction booklet was vague in the description of items particularly the NFC Card which turn out to be non- existence. However I found that the after sales service and responses were excellent. Fast delivery too.
Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate it! 🙏
And sorry for the confusion there, the Astro doesn’t come with NFC.
A scooter that’s comfortable for daily work use, easy to assemble, and most importantly has excellent customer service that’s always responsive whenever there are questions. Love it.
Love to hear it 🙌 That’s exactly what we aim for.
Reliable for the daily grind, easy to get rolling, and proper local support when you need it. Appreciate you backing us.
Astro, first one was so good we immediately bought another.
Great after sales help (Ben) and advice.
Solis scooter from a good supplier.
Thanks
Hey team
The Astro is cool and amazing and all that, obviously still not as cool and amazing as the Kaiju buuuuttttttttttt
This little machine packs a big punch. Anyone considering purchasing an escooter, please give the team at The Simple Commute an opportunity to show you their range. There is a model to suit any particular need, terrain, portability, price & weight considerations. The quality, stability & power of their smallest model, Astro 2026, with its unbelievably low price, for all it delivers, has to be seen. A smooth & comfortable ride with an easy to use app that tracks mileage, a trip meter, cruise control & much, much more. I just purchased & it is by far my favourite of all escooters I have owned & ridden. I highly recommend this Aussie Company for its honesty, integrity & a personalised customer service, second to none. These young businessmen are hard working & dedicated to customer satisfaction. I would not go anywhere else & I live on the other side of the country. I looked hard at several dealerships locally & online & am so grateful I found these guys before I bought from anywhere else.
Absolutely love my Astro! Super portable and easy to take anywhere, which makes commuting so stress free. What surprised me most is how well it handles both on roads and off-road, even though it’s mainly designed as a city commuter. It’s the perfect all-rounder!
Awesome scooter! Light, smart, and quite powerful. Easy for me to ride to school and to the store. An amazing gift from my grandparents!
If you’re looking for a budget amazing quality escooter this is it! It rides amazing with this built in suspension, I love it! Will recommend to all my friends and families!
The lights on my astro escooter are amazing! None of them are gimmicks unlike some of the scooters out. Permanent taillights, turn signals and brake lights. All very visible at night time. The headlights are very very bright! 10/10
Love the new TSC Astro escooter! All my mates got the ninebot and I just wanted something different! No regrets, punchy little machine with lots of awesome features, the app is so easy to use.
Love how clean my new ASTRO escooter looks and rides!
Needed a budget-friendly e-scooter with suspension and solid build quality, and the Astro has it all! It’s super comfortable to ride and can go well over 25kph. The range is amazing for the price, couldn’t be happier with it!
Love it! The design, the build quality, the app! Very smooth to ride and quite powerful.
I was looking for a good waterproof e-scooter and found the new Astro, absolutely love it! The IPX5 rating is exactly what I needed for peace of mind in random melbourne weather. The app is fantastic too, super easy to connect and use with no glitches at all.
The scooter looks great and feels very sturdy. Its capability of light gravel and grass tracks around my farm have suprised me. But the biggest plus is the service!! Very responsive to messages! Changing the game! Well done TSC.
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW
This is my first electric scooter & I did my research before purchasing.
The communication via email was amazing as to how quickly The Simple Commute responded, answered all my queries and recommended the Astro to suit my needs.
I then organised to pick up.
These guys customer service is next level and would highly recommend.
Been riding the Astro everyday and love it
Can see myself upgrading in the future and won’t be going anywhere else
Keep up the good work guys!!
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're glad to hear you're loving your Astro and appreciate your kind words about our service. We look forward to helping you with any upgrades in the future. Happy riding!
First time riding found it nice and sturdy going up a road incline was great seems like a good ride.
Love that first ride feeling.
Glad to hear it’s feeling solid and handling the inclines with ease, that’s exactly what it’s built for. Nice and stable, plenty of power when you need it.
This is a great little lightweight scooter. I'm thoroughly impressed by the whole process, from the website to the customer service. I ordered online and within three days it was delivered. Solid range, good quality and easy to use. I'll be recommending this product to others in the future and already have to people who ask about it.
Legend, really appreciate that 🙏
From ordering to set-up the support was fantastic and the product is awesome. Thanks
Legend 🙌 really appreciate that!
