Ola Electric plans to expand its product portfolio by introducing a more affordable electric scooter. The company also has plans to launch an electric bike.

Ola Electric forayed into the electric 2-wheeler segment with the S1 and S1 Pro e-scooters. With a base price of Rs. 99,999, the S1 could be out of reach for most individuals. The company realizes this and plans to launch a cheaper version with fewer features.

The more affordable version of the S1 e-scooter could get a smaller battery and a less powerful electric motor. The scooter might also miss out on features such as cruise control, touchscreen instrument cluster, etc.

At present, the Ola S1 comes with a 2.98 kWh battery pack that powers a 'Hyperdrive motor' that has an output of 11 BHP and 58 Nm. It has a maximum range of 121 km.

Sounds like a sensible move, would make great sense for a lot of last mile delivery folks (especially food delivery)

Ola CEO Bhavish Agarwal just confirmed that these will be coming next year. Not sure what will be launched first, if it's a bike or affordable scooter.

Im guessing that the image in the opening post is an official Ola image. Its strange that they have flipped the image orientation. The side stand should be on the left of the scooter, not the right.
