Ola Move OS 3.0 Details
Ola S1 Pro will be updated with the new OS3 infotainment software. This software has already been tested and showcased on social media by the CEO Bhavesh Aggrawal himself. Meanwhile, this new update will increase the fun factor exponentially in the S1. How? Well, it will include the updates like hill hold, hypercharge, themes, moods, proximity locks, calling, key sharing, regen braking two, etc.
These updates will make it even more desirable than ever. To keep the customers excited, Ola is also offering a Rs 10,000 discount on the Pro variant. This discount offer is going on until the upcoming Diwali festival. However, Ola has additional plans to introduce a new scooter.
This can possibly be a new variant that will undercut the Pro variant. In terms of pricing, the Pro costs Rs 1,39,000 (after the discount, inclusive of FAM-II subsidy). However, a new scooter from Ola will make the company more accessible among budget-oriented buyers.

The Pro comes equipped with a bigger battery pack. This helps in making it attain a 181 km per charge riding range. It is the highest in its segment. Additionally, the scooter supports fast charging via which it can charge up to 75 km in just 18 minutes.
Verdict
As the rivals like the Ather 450X Gen 3, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, etc. keep on updating themselves, the OS3 update was much needed. However, considering the lack of moral support for its customers and consistent complaints, Ola needs to work hard on its network. With that said, the new update is only going to make the scooter more exciting to own.
