Written by Kanad Kalasur

Ola Electric is planning to launch a new scooter soon. The company’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal shared a teaser image of the same. It appears that the scooter is a new variant of the S1 electric scooter.

New variant of the Ola S1

Recently, Ola had come up with a lower priced variant called the S1 Air. This was priced lower than the flagship S1 Pro. However, now we can see a 3rd scooter in the teaser image. This one has what appears to be a wind deflector up front. This could be either a part of the scooter or an accessory as well.
Further details are expected sometime in July 2023. Meanwhile, S1 Air deliveries are expected to start from July as well.

With a strong line-up of EV scooters along with something for everyone, Ola is likely to make great inroads in electric scooter sales. The company already makes the largest EV 2-wheelers in India and leads the competition in terms of numbers by a fair margin.

Ola S1 Air : More Details

The Ola S1 Air currently has a price tag of INR 1.10 lakh for the 3kWh option. This price includes the new FAME II subsidy amount. Customers who have already booked the scooter will now get only this 3kWh variant. In case anyone wants to cancel their bookings, Ola will fully refund the booking amount.

At the time of announcement, the Ola S1 Air was supposed to have multiple battery options, but due to high demand, the electric scooter maker has consolidated into a single battery option.

The Ola S1 3kWh gets a range of 125 km on a full charge (Indian Driving Cycle). The top speed of this scooter is 85 km/h while the motor is rated at a peak power of 4.5 kW.
