Rumour: Ola to launch sub-Rs 80,000 e-scooter this Diwali

The new variant could get a smaller battery pack with reduced range and an electric motor with a lower output.

According to a media report, Ola Electric is planning to launch a more affordable version of the S1 e-scooter this Diwali. It is said that the new variant could be priced under Rs 80,000.

The report states that the new variant could be largely similar to the S1 and will use the brand’s MoveOS software. It could get a smaller battery pack with reduced range and an electric motor with a lower output.

At present, the Ola S1 is the brand’s most affordable e-scooter. It packs a 3 kWh battery pack that offers a claimed range of 141 km. On the other hand, the top-spec S1 Pro is powered by a 3.97 kWh battery offering a maximum range of 181 km and an 11 BHP electric motor.
