OLA S1 Summary

Ola Electric has launched its new electric scooter, the S1 in the Indian market. The Ola electric scooter will come in two variants, Ola S1 and Ola S1 Pro.

Both variants of the Ola Electric scooter feature a similar design that comprises a compact twin-pod headlight with an LED DRL ring, apron-mounted sleek LED indicators, a body-coloured front fender, curvy side panels, a sleek LED taillight, an external charging point at the back, and a split-style pillion grabrail. The Ola Electric scooter features a 36-litre under-seat storage that can accommodate two open-face helmets. The colour palette for the base model includes five options while the Pro variant is available in 10 choices.

Mechanical specifications on both scooters include an electric motor that produces a peak output of 8.5kW and maximum torque of 58Nm. The battery capacity for the base variant and the Pro model stands at 2.98kW and 3.97kW, respectively. In terms of performance, the Ola S1 boasts a top speed of 90kmph and a range of 121km per charge. The Ola S1 Pro, on the other hand, can achieve a top speed of 115kmph and features a range of 181km per charge.

Standard features on both models include proximity lock/unlock, remote boot lock, call alert, message alert, infotainment, side-stand alert, anti-theft alert, geo fencing, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, onboard navigation, limp home mode, reverse mode, get home mode, take-me-home lights, find my scooter, HMI moods with sound, electronic steering lock, HMI brightness adjuster, welcome screen, OTA updates, manual SOS, and predictive maintenance. The Pro variant further benefits from hill hold system, cruise control, and voice assist. The Ola S1 version uses two riding modes (Normal and Sport) while the Ola S1 Pro variant packs three (Normal, Sport, and Hyper).

The hardware on both variants comprise a tubular frame, single front fork, rear mono-shock, disc brakes on both wheels, and a combined braking system.

Ola Electric recently updated the S1 electric scooter and it’s now available in two battery options: 2kWh and a 3kWh battery. While both models are powered by the same 5.5kW motor, they’ll now differ in terms of the range. The 2kWh battery offers a 91km range and the 3kWh unit can do 141km (ARAI). Apart from that, the two models get the same features and hardware as mentioned below.

OLA S1 Review

  • Good Things

    • Looks quite distinct
    • Gets two battery options 
    • Equipped with lots of features
  • Could be Better

    • Priced quite high
    • Doesn’t have normal scooter proportions

BikeWale's Take

The Ola S1 is probably the most hyped electric-scooter of 2021. It is loaded with lots of features, gets cool design and comes with multiple motor and battery options. But the pricing is a bit high, considering the fact that the scooter doesn’t have the petrol-scooter body proportions.

      Battery Dead in less than one year

      9 weeks ago


      Rk

      Battery has degraded in less than 1 year of purchase and Ola does not replace battery under warranty. They ask for Rs 80,000 for battery replacement. There is no use of buying this scooter, it is a terrible waste of your hard earned money.
      Service experience is the worst you can get from any scooter company. Ola service people do not respond for weeks while your scooter may be lying dead.

      Ola scooter not delivered after more than two-and-a-half months of payment - worst experince in my whole life

      16 weeks ago


      Joseph K John

      I booked a ola s1 electric scooter on 18.03.2023 in my wife's name, from ola showroom situated at m g road, Thrissur on 18.03.2023 after making an upfront payment of rs.1,27,926/-, through one of salesperson present in showroom, mr charles. The scooter was registered 25.03.2023 and the registration certificate was visible in ola app downloaded in the wife's mobile. The registration number of the scooter registered with rto, thrissur. However, the scooter registered in my wife's name has not been handed over to her despite an elapse of more than two-and-a-half months after the payment. Our repeated enquiries with the ola showroom at mg road thrissur have not yielded any results so far. What i could gather from my sources is that the scooter registered in my wife's name had a fall while transported and it is badly damaged. In fact, ola people are tight-lipped over the matter and till now I have not been informed as to why scooter registered in my name nearly two-and-a-half months ago has not been delivered to me. It is reliably learnt that customers who booked the scooter months after my booking have provided scooters. It is now learnt that ola is delivering scooters to the customers within 3 days of booking. We had booked the scooter only in the hope of getting delivery within 2-3 weeks of booking, as has been informed by the showroom people and if this sort of poor service of ola had been known to us beforehand, we would have never booked the scooter. If this is the kind of service they are providing us before the delivery of the scooter, what can I expect after delivery? So the worst is yet to come after the delivery of the scooter. Never trust ola electric scooters and never buy a scooter from them or else you will be their next victim. This is the worst experience in my whole life in booking a vehicle.

      Poor performance

      29 weeks ago


      Rahul Roy

      The battery not working. When I connect to customer care they not working properly. Total waste of money.
      I completed only a 1294 km journey and within that time 2 times manufacturing defects.
      They came to the room additional charge of Rs.12499/- And they said that the item is not included in the warranty. Totally fraud company.

      Excellent scooter

      29 weeks ago


      Ashish Kumar

      1. Buying experience very good. I bought everything from them like insurance etc so that delivery is fast.
      2. Riding experience is great. With various options like sports and hyper. It is best in class.
      3. Looks and performance is excellent. The boot space is very good.
      4. Servicing I have not given and no need to buy their high service package rather than go for a basic plan.
      5pros:
      Good ride
      Save petrol.
      Good options like sports and hyper.
      Cons:
      Light is not enough at night. The night beam could have been better.
      I wish the battery removable option was there.
      Hypercharge is not working most of the time.
