While Ola has retained a majority of design from the S1 Pro, the S1X still gets some notably distinct elements. For reference, the headlight cowl is large and the handlebar too appears different as it remains slightly exposed at the cowl’s end. Then, the X gets round mirrors and it comes draped in a funky two-tone paint scheme. It’s equipped with a new tubular single piece grab rail at the rear. For added convenience, the S1X comes with a flat floorboard just like the other Ola scooters.

Along with LED illumination, the S1X comes with a new instrument console. The Plus variant comes with a five-inch LCD while the remaining two get a smaller, 3.5-inch unit. Moreover, the top-spec model also comes with keyless operations while the base and mid-spec get a physical key. All variants come with three ride modes - eco, normal and sport - as well as a reverse mode, and side stand alert.
