Ola Electric Gen 3 Electric Scooter Unveiled: 320km Range, 5.3 kWh Battery, Price & Features
Ola Electric Mobility Ltd has introduced its latest Gen 3 electric scooter lineup on Friday, January 31, 2025.
This new series operates on Ola’s advanced ‘MoveOS 5,’ which serves as the latest EV operating system.
New Ola Electric Scooters and Variants
Ola has launched four models: S1 Pro, S1 Pro+, S1 X, and S1 X+.
- S1 Pro: Available with two battery options—3 kWh and 4 kWh.
- S1 Pro+: Offers either a 4 kWh or a 5.3 kWh battery pack.
- S1 X: Comes in three variants—2 kWh, 3 kWh, and 4 kWh battery packs.
- S1 X+: Available only with a 4 kWh battery pack.
The S1 Pro+ boasts a maximum range of 320 km and a top speed of 141 km/h, according to Ola.
Advanced Technology and Performance
The Gen 3 models introduce Ola’s patented ‘Brake by Wire’ system. A sensor on the brake lever optimizes braking by balancing the motor’s resistance and brake pad usage. This innovation enhances efficiency, offering 15% more range and doubling brake pad lifespan.
The scooters also feature regenerative braking, converting braking energy back into electricity to extend the range.
Unlike earlier hub motor models, these new scooters incorporate a mid-drive motor with an integrated Motor Control Unit (MCU). Ola claims this upgrade is five times more efficient, delivering improved reliability and lower weight.
The scooters now come with a chain drive system equipped with pre-lubricated O-rings, replacing the previous belt drive system. Ola states that these chains last twice as long as belts.
Expansion of Ola Electric’s Network
By December 2024, Ola had established 4,000 stores and service centers across India. In contrast, the company had only 800 locations in November 2024.
CEO Bhavish Aggarwal also announced that Ola now holds a 25% market share in India’s electric scooter segment.
