Ola Electric launched its much-anticipated electric scooter in two variants – the Ola S1 and Ola S1 Pro – in India on Sunday.
Ola Electric’s first scooter is offered in two variants and both get 8.5kW of peak power. The vanilla Ola S1 gets a 2.98kWh battery that gives it a claimed 121km of range and a top speed of 90kmph. Ola Electric claims that the Ola S1 can accelerate from 0-40kmph in 3.6 seconds. It also gets two riding modes – Normal and Sports.
The Ola S1 Pro, on the other hand, gets a 3.97kWh battery via an “optional performance upgrade accessory” that Ola Electric claims will give it a range of 181kms and a top speed of 115kmph. It is claimed to accelerate from 0-40kmph in 3 seconds. There are three riding modes on the Ola S1 Pro – Normal, Sports, and Hyper.
The 7-inch touchscreen display comes with multiple microphones, AI speech recognition algorithms, and runs MoveOS – built by Ola Electric. The company is touting The vehicle control unit (VCU) that is powered by an octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM, featuring 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Ola S1 and Ola S1 Pro ex-showroom prices in India are set at Rs. 99,999 and Rs. 1,29,999, respectively.
