Ola Electric has launched its new S1 range of electric scooters. That is developed over its new Generation 3 platform. There will be eight scooters in the range, beginning with the S1 Pro+, then the S1 Pro, then the S1 X, and the S1 X+. All of them will have a range of battery packs to choose from. There will be a new range of scooters with Ola's 'MoveOS 5' loaded in them. That is its new EV operating system. The maker will, in the meanwhile, retail its older Generation 2 scooters at a discount price.

The S1 Pro comes in two variants, one with a 3 kWh and one with a 4 kWh battery. There is a Pro + option with a 4 or 5.3 kWh battery pack. There is an S1X with 2, 3, and 4 kWh battery pack options. S1X+, in contrast, is an option with a 4 kWh battery pack only. As per Ola, the range for the Pro + is 320 km, and a top speed of 141 kmph

Earlier, scooters used to use belt drive. Now it has been replaced by a chain drive. This change has increased energy efficiency by 2 percent and acceleration by 10 percent. Apart from this, the life of the chain will be twice that of the belt drive. The torque should also be higher. Ola says that the chain will make as much noise as the belt drive.
