A more inexpensive and basic version of its wildly popular S1 Pro scooter, Ola unveiled the new S1 e-scooter on August 15. It utilizes the same motor and nearly all of the functions of its elder sister but uses a smaller battery pack, allowing for much more affordable pricing. Despite this, Ola advertises a range of 141 kilometers (88 miles) that has been certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).
This meant that the already extremely affordable and attractive S1 Pro got even more affordable, putting the premium electric scooter within reach for even more commuters. With gasoline prices continuing to rise, and subsidies, specifically in the Indian market, being handed out to those opting for EVs, there’s really no surprise as to why the hype for electric two-wheelers never seems to fade.
