The Klara S is a modern yet conventional-looking electric scooter similar to the Bajaj Chetak.

Vietnamese EV maker, VinFast, has filed yet another patent in India. However, this time, it’s not an electric car but an e-scooter called the 'Klara S'.

The VinFast Klara S is a modern yet conventional-looking electric scooter similar to the Bajaj Chetak. It has a circular LED headlamp and LED turn indicators positioned on the front apron.

The Klara S is powered by a 3 kW hub motor and a 3.5 kWh battery pack. The scooter has a claimed top speed of 78 km/h and can cover 194 km on a single charge with a 65 kg rider at a steady speed of 30 km/h.

The Klara S is equipped with a telescopic fork at the front and rides on 14-inch alloy wheels. It has disc brakes at both ends.

Ather Energy and Ola Electric have also reduced the prices of their e-scooters by Rs 25,000.

Bounce Infinity has reduced the price of its E1+ electric scooter by Rs 24,000. The e-scooter is now priced at Rs 89,999 (ex-showroom). The offer is valid till March 31, 2024.

The Bounce Infinity E1+ uses a removable 2 kWh battery pack offering a range of over 85 km on a single charge. It powers a 2.2 kW electric motor that enables the scooter to reach a top speed of 65 km/h.

The E1+ is equipped with a telescopic front fork and twin shock absorbers at the rear. It features disc brakes at both ends.

Bounce Infinity isn’t the only brand to offer a discount on its products in recent times. Last month, Ather Energy slashed the prices of its e-scooters by Rs 25,000 and Ola Electric followed up with a similar price cut on the S1.

I also noted that setting regen to higher levels increased the noise, but turning off regen didn't make the noise go away.

BHPian vivekgk recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I was unable to provide regular updates on my Ola S1 Air situation. As I last mentioned, the scooter was at the ASC, and I was not getting proper update from them. I was following up with the Customer care every day, and they kept insisting that I would get an update from the ASC. the only way I could get in touch with the ASC was if I were to go there in person.

As I was busy at work even on holidays, I was only able to try and go to the ASC after work. To their credit, when I went there once at 8 pm, they were still open! I had a discussion with their manager, and he said that they had finally got the battery shipped in, and they were just waiting for the approval from the head office to replace the battery. he assured me that the scooter would be delivered in 3-4 days time. I left with slightly lifted spirits.

However, it was another full week before they replaced the battery, and they didn't even inform me. It was only during one of my now "routine" daily calls that they said, yes, the battery has been replaced a couple of days ago, you can pick up the scooter, sorry for not informing you.

I had seen on the app that the battery was suddenly showing 50% charge from 0, and then showed that it was being charged, but I didn't know what to make of it, and they were not answering my calls regularly either.

So finally, after almost a month at the ASC, I picked up the scooter on the 22nd of December, 2023. (It was picked up by the RSA team and delivered to the ASC on 23rd November, 2023, about a week after it had broke down)

I asked about the receipt for the repair, and they said there was no receipt for warranty replacements as there was no bill to be paid. The entire issue was erased from the Ola Electric app's service history as well, as if it had never occurred at all. The scooter had about 94% charge when delivered back.

On the way home, I felt that the motor felt slightly rough while accelerating. Looking back, I should have gone right back and reported the issue then and there, but I was just tired of it all, and I decided to let it go, since it was a minor niggle. Boy was I ever wrong!!!

I took the scooter to work that day itself, and the day after that as well. The scooter seemed OK, and it was accelerating well in all modes. Ola's regen doesn't work when the battery is above a certain level, but after the charge level dropped a bit it started working too. However, in slow traffic, I felt that the roughness was increasing and the motor was feeling strained. After I reached home, I decided to pinpoint exactly at what speed the harshness was felt. After trying at various speeds, I concluded that the grinding was at its harshest at 10-12 kph, and disappeared at 20kph. One worrying thing was that the battery seemed to be draining quite badly, dropping to 50% from 90% after just 2 days, driving less than 20 kms. I recorded a couple of videos of the noise for sending to the service guys.

I also noted that setting regen to higher levels increased the noise, but turning off regen didn't make the noise go away. I parked it safely in the garage and initiated another RSA. Somehow, this RSA request got assigned their Coimbatore service centre in Tamilnadu some 400 kms away, despite me providing the accurate location on the map, and I kept getting calls from them asking about my location. I called up the service centre and explained the situation to them.

As usual, they played the same game of assuring 1me that the vehicle would be inspected and picked up, but nothing happened for a couple of weeks. Then on the 3rd of January, someone came to my home and had a look at the scooter. By then the battery had dropped to 15% from just sitting idle. They connected the charger, said they would pick up the scooter later that day, and I never heard from them again.

Finally on 4th January 2024, I got fed up and took the vehicle to the ASC yet again. They were reluctant to take it in and asked me to come after 2 weeks!!! After about an hour and a half of badgering, they finally entered it in the register. But they still wouldn't even take it inside to the yard, saying that it would be fine on the roadside where I had parked it, right in the baking sun. I finally cajoled a security guard to open up their makeshift barricade and push my scooter into the yard. The yard was full to the brim, and I counted about 130 scooters, a lot of them 2nd Gen.

While I was there, I spoke to several owners, 2 of them were 2nd Gen S1 Pro owners. Both were having issues with severe air leaks from the alloys and tyres. Apparently the tyres were not seated well on the alloy wheels causing tyres to become deflated in a couple of days. Another S1 Pro Gen2 owner said his scooter stopped responding to throttle while he was riding, and had to be towed here. It had been there for 2 weeks, and he was understandably furious.

As soon as I got home, I raised a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline. In the past couple of days, I have been contacted by several executives from Ola Head Office and from their Kerala Service head. I think that the attention that Team-BHP brought to my trials and tribulations has certainly had an effect.

I contacted the service centre yet again today, and they said that they were beginning the repair process, whatever that means. I also got a message on my phone saying that repair had been initiated on my scooter.

At this point, I am completely devastated that my ownership experience with my first EV has come to this. No matter how this turns out, I thank you, Team-BHP and fellow BHPians for the support given to me, and I once again implore prospective EV buyers to stay away from Ola brand. They only have marketing and sales in their mind, and care very little for buyers once they have got your money.

Thank God I didn't use the scrapping policy and scrap my 15 year old Mahindra Flyte, because otherwise I'd be totally stranded. Guess the ICE age isn't quite over yet, thanks to totally incompetent players like Ola.

Update:

On 13th January evening, I received a call from Ola service informing me that the scooter had been repaired and was now ready for pickup. I asked them if it was possible to deliver it home (0.5 kms away) as I was down with a fever, but they politely said that they did not have the staff for it at the time, as it was a weekend. My father drove me to the workshop and we picked up the scooter with minimal formalities, only having to sign a register. The scooter was already placed outside in the pickup area, and I could immediately see that the hub motor looked brand new, compared to the rest of the scooter which was dusty and rather dirty.

My daughter who had accompanied us was very excited to see me on the scooter, and immediately ran over and claimed her place on the footboard. She loves this scooter, I think it's the bright colour and the silent running.

As soon as I started off, I noticed that even in the Normal mode, there was a big improvement in the torque. As with all hub motors there is a small jerk while starting off, and the response is immediate. It definitely felt gutsier on the move as well. The vibration and the grinding noises were completely gone. The scooter felt as it had on Day 1. I had actually forgotten what it was like as it had been so long, and I was using my Flyte in between.

I have not had the time to fully test it as I was down with fever this weekend but I plan to do a full test drive in the upcoming days and see if there's any issue. The reason this vibration bothered me so much was that when my daughter is standing on the footboard, I rarely go over 20 kph, preferring to go at this "snail's pace" for safety reasons, as well as for her to enjoy the ride better without too much wind on her face.

As for me, I was originally planning to go ahead with my case and get a refund from Ola for the scooter, but realistically, it is not always possible. Hopefully, there won't be any more issues, but if I do, I will have you guys on my side to support me.

On a side note, I have decided to restore my 15 year old Mahindra Flyte. It is still one of the peppiest ICE scooters I've driven, and the best part is that it is a sleeper. It does not even try to look purposeful, but anyone who has ridden it will know what I am talking about. Mine needs some cosmetic surgery and some TLC, but if the government allows, I'll be keeping it for the foreseeable future.

The Ather Rizta has been described as a "family scooter".

Ather Energy has released yet another teaser of its upcoming electric scooter, the Rizta.

The latest teaser shows a camouflaged prototype of the Rizta. The scooter is likely to get a rectangular LED headlamp positioned on the front apron and a touchscreen instrument console.

The Rizta has been described as a “family scooter”. It has a flat floorboard and a flat, wide seat with a black grab rail. The scooter is equipped with alloy wheels and a front disc brake.

Ather Energy is yet to reveal the technical details of the Rizta. It might use the same electric motor and battery as the 450X, however, that’s pure speculation.

The current fuel economy of my Honda Aviator is around 33-35 km/l. We also have a solar setup at home. Would an electric scooter make sense?

BHPian bijims recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hello, BHPians!

I am in a dilemma here, I have two scooters at home, a 2014 Scooty Streak and a 2016 Honda Aviator, both have run less than 20,000 km to date as most of our running has been with our cars ever since 2020, but now the situation has changed where all our vehicles including both our cars will be out during weekdays, so my wife is using the Scooty which gives her excellent mileage and suits her well, she is under 5 feet tall and feels most comfortable with the Scooty, My dad drives the Seltos to work, my brother drives the Sonet to work and I have been using the Aviator for a while now.

The Aviator is an excellent scooter and one of the best 110cc options available when we bought it in 2016, the suspension, the ride height, and other features were all we could ask for then, but over the years, it has developed a few scars and needs a slight touch up too. However, the major factor leading me to consider an upgrade to the Aviator is the mileage.

Initially, I used to get around 40 to 42 kmpl mileage but now over the past year or so, it has been hovering in the mid-30s (33 to 35 kmpl), which is simply too low. my daily commute is over 34 km and I need at least 1 litre of fuel per day. and a full tank of fuel (6-litre tank) barely lasts me a week (6 working days) and I usually have to refuel by the last day of the week (I am not happy to ride the scooter in the last 1-litre reserve). So with petrol prices in my city at Rs. 108.25 per litre, it costs me over Rs.541.25 for 5 days which over the month comes to a fuel bill of over Rs.3500 a month (including a few weekend runabouts).

So I was thinking, am I riding poorly or would any maintenance or service help or is there something wrong with the scooter and should I sell my scooter and get an e-scooter?

Another reason I am contemplating an e-scooter is that we have solar at home and have only used it for around half of the total production and we could save on fuel bills because we are generating our electricity, so charging is free.

Now with these factors in mind, I was searching for a few options and stumbled upon the Ola S1X+ now available at Rs.89,999 ex-showroom after a limited period Rs.20,000 discount. Now the on-road price comes to Rs.1,08,179, I am getting deals for my scooter around Rs.40,000 as well, so I would have to shell out an additional Rs.68,000 for the new scooter which seems reasonable, moreover considering an advertised range of 151km, and even if I hardly get 100km in eco mode, I can still get 3 days on a full charge, and with charging not an expense due to the solar, this seems like a good deal. Considering the monthly Rs.3500 petrol expenses I am incurring, I would be able to recover this additional Rs.68,000 in less than 2 years.

So with all these considerations, should I take the plunge or is there more than meets the eye? Am I being too optimistic about the prospect of an Ola E-scooter or should I hold on to my Aviator? What are the other factors I need to consider?

I need the advice of the forum on all these matters.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's what BHPian Bhargav7 had to say about the matter:

The advertised range for the 2kw battery pack is 91Kms. The 3kw version with a range of 151 km is priced at another 10k premium.

On the commercials, you are going to save approximately 40 odd thousand per year in fuel based on your travel. Assuming a battery life of 50k kilometers (debatable), this scooter will last you around 5 years. So the IRR of this will be around 50-55% for the 2kw version and around 40-45% for the 3kw version. Those are pretty good numbers.

The other thing you really need to consider is travelling 34 kms daily on a scooter. At some point, your back is going to hurt really bad. if you have a good budget, you should use a car - EV or otherwise.

Here's what BHPian shancz had to say about the matter:

I will try to answer all of them but in a different way.

• Aviator : Getting low FE on a sparingly used scooter is expected but can be fixed with simple air-fuel-spark checks. Worst case you might need to change the carb in case it can't be recovered post a clean.
• Economy : Make sure that the difference between the price of the Aviator and a new EV makes sense based on your expected usage in the near future.

Reading through your post I somehow get a feeling that the EV is more of a want.

If you can afford it then go for it, it will be a nice change and IMO EV scooters are the safest bet to try out EVs provided you get one of the good ones which are :

• Ather 450S/X : sporty, check for service centers

• TVS iQube : comfortable
• Chetak : if available at your location
• Vida : No idea on this
• Ola S1 : I don't like it as a product so I will leave it for you to decide. Check the forum for ownership reviews.

Factors to consider :

• If you're not going to use it for long (>1 year) then it doesn't make sense to buy a new scooter and park it later as newer scooters with FI are a pain to manage due to battery and starting issues. Your Aviator is simple and carbureted, doesn't get simpler than this.

Here's what BHPian ComicCharcoal had to say about the matter:

A TVS iQube owner here. After reading about your daily usage of 34 km / 6 days a week, I would strongly recommend you buy an electric scooter.

My usage at around 30Kms per day, 5 days a week. In less than a year, my iQube has run 7500 km. Had it been a petrol vehicle, I would have spent 7500 * ₹3 = ₹22500. Electricity (home charging) charges for me are around ₹1500 for 7500 km. Even with paying for electricity, it makes sense for me. With free electricity, you should definitely go for an e-scooter.

Also, the maintenance cost of petrol scooters is way higher than E-scooters. Even assuming battery change after 4-5 years of usage, E-scooters make economic sense. The current price of the iQube battery is around ₹36k.

My only worry is your choice of scooter. I have 2 friends who bought Ola S1 / S1 pro and both of them had issues with the software, like the dickey not opening, the scooter stopping suddenly, etc. So, I went for the safer option of iQube, and have had zero issues so far. But, I should also mention I did test drive Ola scooters as well and found that they had a better ride quality than others.

I recommend you test drive the iQube, chetak and Ola S1X and then decide. I find the Ather overpriced.

Here's what BHPian RD410 had to say about the matter:

I have a Dio HET of similar vintage, run 36k kms. It still gives me FE between 45-52 kpl in the city and upto 55 kpl on highways. FE was not this good initially. These are the things I did to improve FE:

• Shifted to Castrol 5w40 fully synthetic engine oil. This oil totally changed the scooter's performance and efficiency.
• Using Yamaha PEA carbon cleaner every 5k kms. It cleans the fuel lines, internals of the carburettor and engine head. It's cheap, just costs ₹170. Comes in a 50ml bottle which needs to be added to a full tank of petrol.
• Changing the spark plug every 15k kms and making sure that the spark plug used is NGK MR7C-9N high ignitability plug and not NGK CPR8EA-9N. The former is what HET models require and the latter one is for older pre-HET models. But 90% of the time mechanics / SVCs put non-HET plugs in HET scooters because MR7C-9N is not available everywhere.
• Check tyre air pressure every week. These Honda rims and tubeless tyres lose air very quickly and that badly affects pickup and FE.

But if you really want an EV, I won't suggest Ola at all. It's still a work in progress, even the Gen 2 models have so many software, hardware and structural issues. Go for Ather or TVS iQube or Revolt RV400. The Revolt with its motorcycle form factor should be much better for daily commutes.

The Qargos electric scooter has been designed in collaboration with Dassault Systemes.

Qargos, a Pune-based start-up, has developed what is claimed to be the world’s first electric cargo scooter. The company has now commenced road trials ahead of its market launch expected during the first half of this year.

The Qargos electric scooter has been designed specifically for last-mile delivery applications. It has been developed in collaboration with Dassault Systemes.

The USP of the Qargos e-scooter is its massive 225-litre cargo compartment, that sits between the front and rear wheels. It can carry around 120 kg of cargo. The company claims that the Qargos can carry around 70 parcels, whereas an average e-scooter can carry just 35. Its grocery carrying capacity is also said to be three times that of a standard 2-wheeler.

The Qargos e-scooter is powered by a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, designed by Dassault Systemes and a 3.4 kW electric motor that generates a peak output of 6 kW. It can reach a top speed of 80 km/h.

The electric scooter can cover 150 km on a single charge. The battery can be charged in 5 hours and 15 minutes. The company also plans to develop a DC fast charging capability that is expected to reduce the charging time to around 3 hours.

The Kinetic E-Luna is available in two variants and three battery options. The company claims a running cost of 10 paise per km.

Kinetic Green has announced the launch of the E-Luna electric moped. It is available at an introductory price of Rs 69,990 for the X1 variant and Rs 74,990 (ex-showroom) for the X2 variant.

The Kinetic E-Luna is based on a dual tubular steel chassis. It has a removable rear seat, which makes way for a carrier. The company claims a payload capacity of 150 kg.

The E-Luna is available with three battery options - 1.7 kWh, 2 kWh, offering 110 km of range and a 3 kWh unit with 150 km range. The company claims a running cost of 10 paise per km.

A 2.2 kW hub motor enables the electric moped to reach a claimed top speed of 50 km/h. It rides on 16-inch wire-spoke wheels with a telescopic fork at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear.

In terms of features, the Kinetic E-Luna comes with a digital instrument console with a Distance to Empty (DTE) indicator, a USB charging port, three riding modes, a side-stand sensor and a combi-braking system. 

The E-Luna is available in five colour options - Mulberry Red, Pearl Yellow, Night Star Black, Ocean Blue and Sparkling Green.

After entering into the Diagnostic Mode, I was asked to press the 'Scooter Mode' and choose the 'Service' option for them to be able to work on my scooter.

BHPian AdityaDeane recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

So, after owning SAIR for around 2 months and 10 odd days, I finally got a message and email on the 19th of December, that my scooter was out for delivery and then it showed delivered.

After this, my Ola Care+ Plan and Extended Warranty also got Activated. So, I thought let me put up another Service Request and see, maybe they'll do something about it, now that the scooter is showing Delivered.

This time I put in the request through the Ola Electric website after logging in, and not from the App, as I usually did till now. And it worked.

I got a call from the Ola Service Centre guy on Saturday afternoon asking me what problem I was facing. I told him that while riding (short trips or long, doesn't matter), I suddenly hear a thud sound, and then the scooter stops accelerating. It is still on, but changing the mode or accelerating doesn't help. Sometimes it gets better with just a Reboot, sometimes I need to keep it off for 15-30 minutes, and then I can use it again.

So, he asked me to unlock my scooter, and press this '?' icon 4-5 times, I didn't know this also was of importance.

Upon clicking there, I reached this screen. The service technician asked me to send this screenshot to him on WhatsApp, and then he told me an OTP to enter in the displayed keypad to enter the Diagnostic Mode of the scooter.

After entering into the Diagnostic Mode, I was asked to press the 'Scooter Mode' and choose 'Service' option for them to be able to work on my scooter.

I was asked to click on the 'i' button next to the Green 3D Fix button towards Top Right to proceed.

After switching to the 'Service Mode', the status of the Diagnostic Server changed from Red to Green, indicating that they're connected now.

These details and a few more values were then seen on a scroll-down page. Not sharing all of them, because I will have hidden most of them before sharing here.

After they got the data that they required about my issue, he asked me to Exit the Service Mode.

Then he asked me to check on the scooter after 2-3 hours, telling me that I would get a notification to download an update, and that should solve my problem. But, I didn't get anything on Saturday, not even till before I went off to sleep.

He called me on Sunday morning, but I still did not get any download notification. Then he called me again this morning saying that he had asked the back-end team to do this on priority, and so I went out to check my scooter, and there was an ongoing Download indicator on the screen bottom, as I had kept "Auto Download Updates" in the ON position.

The update was for Move OS 3.1.6, and the size is 1.03GB, as can be seen in the screenshot above.

Software update-related details.

Once the software was downloaded, I was given to option to install now. I didn't read back then, but Ola Electric suggests Rebooting the scooter before installing a new update.

Thankfully I didn't encounter any error, and the update took about 1 hour and 1% battery juice to install.

Upon restarting, I was greeted by this message, which I closed as I had seen it earlier too. It has info about features not even present in the Air models and hence is a waste of time.

Was shown this update information again in the Software Update tab of the vehicle settings.

Finally, my new software is installed and ready to use.

• I still haven't had the time to go out for a long spin and test out if anything has changed at all, or if the scooter still having those performance issues.
• I haven't found any new UI changes, or Feature additions in my scooter.
• There is so much traffic jam and tourist rush in Manali these days, that going out on the road is a bad decision unless I want to inhale all the smoke coming from vehicles stuck in hours-long traffic jams, so will update about this problem once I actually get to test out my scooter probably around the New Year or after that, once this rush is over.

Hope this helps others out there. Thanks to connected tech, the service technician didn't even have to visit me in person to sort these bugs, just sitting in his office in Mandi and giving orders saved him a 120Kms trip (one side) in the busiest time of the year, on the Mandi-Manali highway.

The scooter is really stable on roads, and it feels planted even when u go at higher speeds.

BHPian Prasidhi recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Delighted to share I took the delivery of River Indie, on 15th January. Here is my delivery experience and initial ride review.

Initially my delivery was scheduled between December 15th to December 31st, but It was postponed as they told me we would be getting the 2024 manufactured model which I felt was quite a nice gesture as most companies only focus on getting done with the sales.

The delivery was done in their Experience center in JP Nagar, it was the opening day of the center. Both sales and service are done here, it has about 5 service bays, and coming to the showroom aspect, its quite a big showroom and they have showcased their accessories (pics attached for reference) for the scooter seen in their website and also a few merchandise. Few of the accessories are still under development while the mobile holder, floormat, Visor (both transparent and tinted) and Floor cage will be available by next week.

The delivery experience was a really wonderful one. Most of the staff from various departments were available, including the co-founders who did the key handover to the customers. They were very polite, always available. Each scooter had a respective staff member assigned to assist with regards to its functions and technical stuff. They also gave a charging demo to show its working. They explained the invoice and also shared the PDI list which they have done and told us to verify.

The scooter supports fast charging, but the charging pin is different compared to other brands hence will only be effective when river brings its own fast charger, which they told they are working on it and planning to launch soon.

This is fully loaded version with all accessories.

The back seat support and side step. I understand the side step is still under testing and will take some more time to come. The pannier mounts will be available by default for only the pre-ordered customers. New customers will be getting a side lid as seen in the pic above and can purchase the pannier mount as an additional accessory.

Above are the accessories and merchandise in the showroom.

Initial ride impressions:

I am very much impressed with the scooter’s overall performance, however there are a few things I felt that could have been improved.

Lets first talk about the pros:

• The scooter is really stable on roads, and it feels planted even when u go at higher speeds.
• Acceleration is great in ride mode, amazing in rush mode but the eco mode is a bit underpowered in my opinion.
• The scooter has huge underseat storage (one of its USP), I was able to fit a full faced helmet (Vega) as well as a half face hemlet (Vega) and still a bit of space to keep few small things.
• The suspension setup is good, I did miss a few pot holes but didn’t feel much impact, the scooter did handle it pretty well.
• Brakes are very good, the dual disc brakes with CBS are really powerful. (this is in comparison with my 2018 ntorq and I felt it was a significant upgrade. I didn’t ride any 2 wheeler with ABS so can’t compare with that)
• Display quality has improved especially the day time visibility which was one of the major concerns during test ride.
• The vehicle is equipped with adaptive regen and although I am yet to figure out which regen level is in which mode, the regen in ride mode felt quite smooth.
• Switching modes during the ride is pretty easy, I felt the button was a bit too far for my hand during the test ride, however I felt it was fine now.
• The vehicle is easy to maneuver despite its large size, however it might be a little difficult in low speeds if you are used to riding lighter scooters but you will get used to it easily.

Now a few things that I felt that could have been improved are:

• The mirrors are very bad. They are relatively small and quite difficult to see.
• There is no brake lock feature which could be a problem while parking it on a slope.
• The trip meter is inaccurate right now. Trip 1 and trip 2 are showing different numbers although the difference is small. (I don’t know whether it is for my scooter alone, planning to take it up with them during first inspection)
• I also felt the high beam lamp projects a bit upward (again this could be an issue with my scooter, other river owners here please provide your input)
• The reverse mode is a 3 step process which makes it a bit uncomfortable, I would rather preferred a switch to put it directly in reverse mode.
• The connector type is unique and could not be identified to any standard type.

The first inspection is after 45 days.

Overall pretty happy with the scooter, will keep updating this thread as I cover more distances.

Ola Electric has also announced an 8-year / 80,000 km battery warranty on its entire e-scooter line-up.

Ola Electric has launched a new variant of the S1 X with a larger battery pack priced at Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

The S1 X is now available with a 4 kWh battery pack that is said to offer a maximum range of 190 km on a single charge. It takes 6 hours and 30 minutes to charge the battery.

The larger battery pack does take a toll on the scooter’s overall weight. The S1 X 4 kWh version weighs 4 kg more than the standard S1 X and has a claimed top speed of 90 km/h.

The Ola S1 X 4 kWh version is available in seven colour options - Red Velocity, Midnight, Vogue, Stellar, Funk, Porcelain White and Liquid Silver.

Ola Electric has also announced an 8-year / 80,000 km battery warranty on its entire e-scooter line-up. For an additional Rs 5,000, customers can extend the warranty to 1.25 lakh km.
