Ola to offer home delivery for its electric scooter
Ola Electric will offer door-step deliveries for its upcoming scooter in India, thus eliminating the requirement of setting up a dealership network, as per Tech2. The brand has created a dedicated logistics department so that loan applications and other documentation can be completed online. Ola may also open 'experience centers' for interested customers to explore the e-scooter in person. Here are more details.

It will pack an all-LED lighting setup, a 7.0-inch touchscreen instrument console with Bluetooth support, and shall ride on 12-inch wheels. The vehicle will tip the scales at around 74kg and offer best-in-class under-seat storage capacity.
It will have a top-speed of 100km/h
The Ola Scooter is expected to house a non-removable Lithium-ion battery pack which can be charged from 0-50% in just 18 minutes. It will reportedly have a top-speed of around 100km/h and a total range of 150km on a single charge.
It will be equipped with telescopic front forks
In terms of safety equipment, the Ola Scooter will be equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels along with ABS or a combined braking system for better handling on the roads.
