Ola Electric had previously launched the S1 series of electric scooters in India, which had propelled the company as one of the top electric scooter makers in the region. Now, it appears that the company is working on a new model from this popular series.
The news was hinted by the company’s CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. The senior executive had hinted on Twitter that the EV maker is planning to possible launch a new S1 electric scooter model. Looking at this tweet, the official stated that the brand is “planning something BIG for our launch this month! Will accelerate the #EndICEAge revolution by at least 2 years. Really excited.”
However, a sources close to the matter told Car and Bike, that Ola Electric is planning on launching a new affordable model in the S1 series of electric scooter. This new model will reportedly be priced under 80,000 INR. This is basically the same price range as the most popular petrol based scooters that are currently available in the Indian market. This new budget model will also offer most of the features that are found in the S1 and S1 Pro models.
For those unaware, Ola Electric had launched the S1 back in August as an affordable electric scooter, with the Pro model being a higher end variant. The S1 was launched for a price tag of 99,999 INR and offered 5.5kW motor with 8.5kw peak power. This electric scooter offered a max range of up to 141km and a top speed of 95kmph. So if this news is true, we can expect the new S1 model to have similar features.
