Why does this story matter?
After a successful run of over a year with the S1 Pro, Ola Electric has launched the S1 model with a slightly affordable price tag.

The scooter houses a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity and rides on 12-inch aluminium alloy wheels.
It has a claimed range of 141km on single charge
The S1 draws power from an 8.5kW electric motor paired with a 3kWh battery pack. The setup delivers a claimed range of up to 141km on a single charge. The EV has a top speed of 95km/h.
