Ola Electric, which recently opened its latest purchase window for the S1 Pro electric scooter, has also increased its prices. The company has increased the price of the electric scooter by Rs 10,000, effectively taking the price of the Ola S1 Pro to over Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The revised price includes the subsidy given by the central government under the FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and EV) scheme.
The latest purchase window was opened on May 21, and this time, it was only for the top-end S1 Pro model. The company also started offering test rides in 5 cities from May 19, which can be booked through the Ola Cabs app. Earlier, Ola Electric had opened the purchase window for the electric scooter in March 2022, which again lasted for 48 hours between March 17 and 18.

The purchase window opened at a time when the company came in some bad light after several e-scooters caught fire and accidents. In addition, earlier in March 2022, Ola also issued a recall for 1,441 units of its S1 Pro electric scooter to run ‘pre-impact diagnostics and health check-up’. That being said, in April 2022, Ola sold over 12,000 units of the S1 range, making it the best selling electric scooter. Therefore, the demand for scooters is still quite high.
The base model Ola S1 comes with a top speed of 90 kmph and a range of up to 121 km on a single charge. On the other hand, the S1 Pro will offer a top speed of around 115 kmph and a range of up to 181 km. It comes with a 3.97 kWh battery pack that powers an electric motor that produces 11 bhp and 58 Nm of peak torque.
The Ola S1 Pro currently competes with other electric scooters like the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak and even the TVS iQube, which was recently updated with a bigger battery pack and more features.
