Last month, the company launched the S1 electric scooter with sub-Rs 1 lakh price tag. However, the discounts are only available on the S1 Pro.

The Ola S1 Pro uses a 3.97 kWh battery pack offering a maximum range of 181 km. It powers an electric motor that produces 11 BHP and 58 Nm, enabling the e-scooter to sprint from 0-60 km/h in 5 seconds. The S1 Pro has a top speed of 115 km/h.

MoveOS 3 is also expected to come with a new riding mode called Party Mode. It could also come with an improved regeneration function, onboard document storage and a calling feature.

The MoveOS 3 update will be available over the air for both the S1 and S1 Pro. The exact date of the rollout is not known.

Earlier this year, Ola Electric teased its first all-electric car for the Indian market. Now, the EV maker has announced that the car will be launched by the summer of 2024.

Ola also claims that the EV will be capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in under 4 seconds. It is said to offer a maximum range of over 500 km.

The have an extremely unprofessional delivery plan. They first wanted to deliver the scooter to me at 11:30 pm on a Sunday night. I refused flat out.

BHPian jyobeb recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I have owned an Ola S1 Pro for about 3 months now. Putting down my observations, likes and dislikes:

Far too long a time taken between booking the scooter, making full payment and delivery. (More than 6 months).

Extremely unprofessional delivery plan. They first wanted to deliver the scooter to me at 11:30 pm on a Sunday night. I refused flat out and they tried to beg and cajole me to take delivery, giving me all kinds of excuses. When they realized that I was adamant, they became aggressive in tone and said that if that then they would."SEE". I then got delivery after 2 weeks after cussing out Ola online customer support many, many times.

It's been more than 2 months since my vehicle was registered but I still don't have a number or the RC card. On asking the agent, he says take it up with OLA. The OLA representative calls me after I send 5 messages cussing them out, to ask the agent!!!! As of now, I still don't have a number plate or the RC card.

Likes:

• Excellent fit and finish.
• Powerful motor.
• Brilliant pick up.

Dislikes:

• The absolutely rotten buying experience.
• Horrible communication system with no personal touch.
• In Hyper mode, it's just too quick for a scooter.
• The touch screen and number code for starting and moving is not security friendly. All you need is a person at a slightly higher point behind or to the side of view with a video camera and you will find your scooter missing when you come back. In my opinion a huge negative.

Will I recommend the OLA?

As a stand alone scooter - Yes

As an Ola product - NO

The lack of human interaction, the inability to walk into a service centre with your complaints and the total un-personal experience just does not cut it.

Overall, not a very pleasant experience.
