Ola S1 new colours: details
The Ola S1 e-scooter has received nearly the entire range of colours of the S1 Pro, except the Freedom edition Khaki green colour, which was announced to commemorate the Indian armed forces. This addition to the colour palette means that the S1 e-scooter is now offered in Marshmallow (yellow), Millennial Pink, Anthracite Grey, Midnight Blue and Matt Black.
Mechanically, Ola’s S1 e-scooter remains the same with a 3kWh battery, giving it a claimed IDC range of 141 km in Eco mode. A full charge will take 5 hours when plugged into a regular 5A socket. The motor makes the same 5.5kW (nominal) and 8.5kW (peak), figures that are identical to the range-topping S1 Pro, but with an electronically limited top speed of 95kph. The S1 misses out on features such as cruise control and Hyper mode, found on the S1 Pro. However, at 121 kg, the S1 is 4 kg lighter than the S1 Pro.
Recently, Ola rolled out its MoveOS 3.0 update to all its customers and you can read more about it here.
The Ola S1 price is currently Rs 99,999 which makes it Rs 40,000 cheaper than the flagship S1 Pro which continues to be offered with a Rs 10,000 discount. Ola also has plans to introduce a heavily engineered low cost S1 Air to the market in Q1 2023, which will cost Rs 84,999, and you can read more about it here.
All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi, including the FAME-II subsidy.
