BENGALURU, 8 August 2023: Ola Electric, the pioneer in electric vehicles, has unveiled its latest offering, the S1 Air electric scooter, priced at INR 1.10 lakh ex-showroom. The company is further expanding its lineup with the upcoming launch of the S1X electric scooter.
Positioned as an entry-level model in Ola Electric’s portfolio, the S1X is anticipated to provide a more budget-friendly option, priced under INR 1 lakh. This exciting addition is scheduled for release on August 15, coinciding with India’s Independence Day.
New-Generation Platform for Enhanced Efficiency
The forthcoming Ola S1X will be built upon a cutting-edge new-generation platform that will serve as the foundation for all future electric scooters by the manufacturer. It’s likely that the S1X will share certain components with its counterpart, the S1 Air, such as wheels, suspension elements, and hardware components. This shared approach streamlines development and cost-effectiveness for Ola Electric.
Expected Features and Design Continuity
Anticipated features for the Ola S1X are expected to maintain consistency with its sibling model. A possible inclusion is a LED Daytime Running Lamp with a projector setup in the headlamp. The design language is likely to remain in line with Ola Electric’s growing family of electric vehicles, ensuring a coherent visual identity.
Familiar and Functional Features
The S1X’s feature set is projected to closely resemble that of its predecessors. While the display may have a lower resolution compared to the S1 Pro, it will provide essential information about the scooter. However, it remains uncertain whether the scooter will incorporate navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and internet connectivity.
Optimized Ride and Handling
The S1X is poised to offer a comfortable riding experience with telescopic forks in the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear. The braking system is expected to feature drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, potentially equipped with a Combi-braking system. Additionally, the S1X will feature steel wheels in contrast to alloy wheels.
Conclusion: Ola Electric’s Affordable EV Vision
As Ola Electric expands its EV portfolio, the upcoming launch of the S1X electric scooter underlines the brand’s commitment to providing accessible and sustainable transportation solutions. With the introduction of the S1X on Independence Day, Ola Electric reaffirms its dedication to pioneering affordable and efficient electric mobility solutions for Indian consumers.
