Ola’s entry-level electric scooter is priced at Rs 89,999, check specifications

Ora electrical There have been efforts to increase the penetration of electric vehicles in India.

The brand intends to expand its electric vehicle (EV) product line by launching rental services as well as new electric vehicles for personal use. The company seems to be looking to make a big push into the B2B market.

A new single-seater electric scooter from Ola Electric is expected to enter the commercial market. According to Motorbeam, the design patent has been leaked online. The company’s S1 electric scooter series targets the private consumer market and helps popularize it, seemingly focusing more on functionality than aesthetics, making it suitable for commercial use.

In terms of pricing, the new business-focused scooter is expected to be significantly cheaper than the S1 X-series, which starts at Rs 89,999 (ex-showroom). Businesses and delivery services looking for affordable electric vehicle solutions may find it attractive due to its competitive pricing strategy.

Ola Electric’s new single-seater scooter: Details here

The upcoming Ola electric scooter has a simple design with just a small front skirt and cover panel under the seat. It is expected to have one seat, with the option of additional rear seats. The luggage rack behind the saddle demonstrates a focus on practicality for carrying cargo, which adds to its appeal for commercial applications.

The scooter is likely to have basic basics like wishbone front forks, dual rear shock absorbers, and drum brakes at both ends. The wheels are similar to those on the existing S1 Air and S1 X models, which may indicate they share components. Due to the flat floor, the payload capacity of the scooter is expected to increase, making it more suitable for commercial use.

The handlebar is a simple design with a small digital instrument panel mounted directly on it. While there have been speculations about the possibility of a replaceable battery, Ola Electric is yet to provide an official confirmation. Although not yet confirmed, this feature could be a strategic move to increase the usability and convenience of the scooters.

With a focus on efficiency and pragmatism, Ola Electric may be able to tap into a wider market niche and cater to the diverse needs of last-mile connectivity providers and enterprise customers. Ola has not revealed any details about the product yet, and we expect it to be officially unveiled later this year or early 2025.
