Does a cheaper price tag also bring along a lot of compromises? Or, is it just as strong a contender as the higher-spec Ola S1 Pro? We try to answer that by spending some time with the S1 Air.

Our S1 Pro is set to head back after clocking 5,800km in almost 10 months, which is a decent amount of exposure to give you a final verdict on whether you should buy it.

Many prospective buyers perceive that although a 110cc petrol scooter can do interstate/long rides, the same can’t be said for a battery-relying scooter/bike. To address this hypothesis, I took our long-termer, the Ola S1 Pro, for a Mumbai-Lonavala-Mumbai run. The total distance covered here was close to 200km. So, how did it go? Did it manage to cover the entire distance without any hiccups? You’ll find the answers to all these questions as the story progresses.
