Remember our story on the newly launched, lower priced e-scooter from Ola? It is called the S1 (without the Pro badge) and has garnered over 10,000 bookings from prospective customers. Further, customers will start getting the deliveries from 7th September onwards. Ola launched this cheaper S1 at Rs 99,999 to take on the upcoming Simple One Electric scooter.
The Ola S1 e-scooters gets a 3kWh battery pack which is 25% smaller than the one we see on the S1 Pro. Due to this, the ARAI-certified riding range of this scooter is down to 141 km – true range as per Ola is is 101 km in normal mode.
In Eco and Sports mode, the range of the Ola S1 sticks to 128 km and 90 km, respectively. It gets a top speed of 95 kmph. Not just the riding range and battery capacity but the performance too of the S1 has been hampered when compared to its sibling, S1 Pro. Do see all difference between the S1 and S1 Pro here.

The Ola S1 accelerates from 0 to 60 kmph in just 5.9 seconds compared to 4.5 seconds of the S1 Pro. Interestingly, the smaller battery pack has its own advantages. Firstly, the quick charging from 0 to 100 percent is achieved in just 5 hours and secondly, the kerb weight of the scooter is lighter by 4 kg.
Ola S1 gets equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system, reverse mode, LED lighting, Navigation, Music Playback and more. The company has also announced that they will roll out a software update, MoveOS 3, which will introduce certain features like a digital key, proximity unlock, improved regen and more.
