The e-scooter is based on the Gen 2 platform, which is shared with the S1X and S1 Air.

Ola Electric has commenced deliveries of the S1 Pro Gen 2 in more than 100 cities across India. 

The second-gen S1 Pro was launched in August at a price of Rs 1.48 lakh. The e-scooter is based on the Gen 2 platform, which is shared with the S1X and S1 Air. It gets a conventional telescopic front fork and a flat floorboard.

The Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 is powered by a new electric motor. The 5 kW unit has a peak output of 11 kW. Ola claims that this enables the scooter to accelerate from 0-40 km/h in 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 120 km/h.

Battery capacity remains unchanged at 4 kWh. However, Ola claims to have made changes to the battery pack and improved its efficiency. As a result, the certified range has gone up from 181 km to 195 km. The true range in Eco mode is rated at 180 km. The battery takes 6.5 hours to charge from 0-100%.

The S1 Pro Gen 2 comes with a 4 kWh battery that offers a range of 195 km.

Ola Electric has rolled out the second generation of the S1 Pro electric scooter. The S1 Pro Gen 2 gets incremental updates with slightly more power, increased range and a higher top speed. The new e-scooter is priced at Rs 1.48 lakh and deliveries will begin from mid-September.

The new Ola S1 Pro is based on the Gen 2 platform, shared with the recently launched S1X and S1 Air. The most notable change is the introduction of a conventional telescopic front fork instead of a single-sided unit and a flat floorboard.

The overall weight of the S1 Pro has also dropped from 121 kg to 116 kg. The under-seat storage capacity though, has shrunk from 36-litres to 34-litres.

The Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 is powered by a new electric motor. The 5.5 kW motor has been replaced with a 5 kW unit that has a peak output of 11 kW. Ola claims that this enables the scooter to accelerate from 0-40 km/h in 2.6 seconds and has a top speed of 120 km/h.

Battery capacity remains unchanged at 4 kWh. However, Ola claims to have made changes to the battery pack and improved its efficiency. As a result, the certified range has gone up from 181 km to 195 km. The true range in Eco mode is rated at 180 km. The battery takes 6.5 hours to charge from 0-100%.

1 lakh Ola S1 Pro customers who purchased off-board chargers separately will receive a refund.

Ola Electric has been ordered to refund Rs 130 crore to 1 lakh customers who purchased the off-board electric charger separately with their electric scooters. The announcement came following a government investigation which revealed that the company was in breach of the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) guidelines.

Ola Electric is said to have sold off-board chargers as an accessory for its S1 Pro electric scooter. 1 lakh customers were charged around Rs 9,000 to Rs 19,000 over the ex-showroom price of the e-scooter. This is a clear violation of the FAME scheme, as per which, chargers and proprietary software cannot be sold by a company at an additional cost.

EV makers like Hero Electric, Ather Energy and Ola Electric have recently come under the scanner, following complaints about breach of guidelines to gain government subsidies.
