Speaking of phones, the scooter’s app provides a high level of control. Riders can even take calls via the scooter’s OS by connecting their phones.

Saying to the scooter, “Hey Ola, play some music,” will pull up your playlist and get the tunes cranking out of the scooter’s built-in speaker system. Just like your cellphone, the scooter also packs a digital voice assistant. The 121 kg (267 lb) scooters include large 7-inch color touch screens that include GPS-based map navigation in addition to typical performance readouts on user-selectable skins. Unlike simpler scooters with bare-bones functions, Ola equipped its models with an array of smart features. That translates into ranges of 121 km (75 miles) and 181 km (112 miles), respectively. The scooters house large capacity batteries, with 3 kWh of capacity in the S1 and 4 kWh of capacity in the S1 Pro. Unlike many of the moped-class electric scooters we see with 45 km/h (28 mph) speed limits, Ola came right out of the gate with a fully capable electric scooter in the S1 and S1 Pro.Īn 8.5 kW electric motor mounted within the scooter’s frame provides the S1 with a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph) and an even faster top speed in the S1 Pro of 115 km/h (71 mph). With gas motorbikes still heavily outselling electric alternatives, Ola Electric could help rewrite the transportation landscape in India within a short period of time. Around 15 million two-wheelers are sold annually in India. That’s key for India, which has the largest two-wheeled market in the world. The megafactory’s production capacity is already planned with expansion in mind to reach 10 million units per year. Ola’s scooters are built locally in India inside of a massive scooter megafactory with an initial annual capacity of 2 million electric scooters.

Now that orders are open, all eyes are on Ola to see how the company grows its scooter operations domestically and abroad. The start of sales for the Ola Electric S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters has been hotly anticipated since the scooters were first teased earlier this year.
