Ola Electric has launched the third-generation models of its electric scooters. The new range, which starts at an introductory price of Rs 79,999 for the S1 X (2kWh) and goes up to Rs 1.70 lakh for the flagship S1 Pro+ (5.3kWh), brings notable improvements in performance, efficiency, and safety. Deliveries for these next-gen scooters are set to begin in mid-February 2025.
Ola Electric Gen3 models: What’s different
The Gen 3 lineup boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor, featuring a mid-drive motor with a chain drive, an integrated Motor Control Unit (MCU), and dual ABS. Ola claims that these advancements result in a 20% increase in peak power, 20% better range, and an 11% reduction in cost compared to the Gen 2 models. Additionally, the new brake-by-wire system dynamically switches between regenerative and mechanical braking, increasing energy recovery by 15% for improved efficiency.
Ola has also announced the rollout of MoveOS 5 beta, set to begin in mid-February. This latest update introduces several new smart features, including a Smartwatch App, Smart Park, Road Trip Mode, Live Location Sharing, and Emergency SOS, among others.
