With a kerb weight of 115 kg, the scooter is the lightest in the S1 lineup when compared to the S1 Pro and S1 3kWh. The new variant's buying window started right away, and deliveries are scheduled to start in March 2023. Ola Electric achieved its best-ever monthly performance last month and reached the 25,000 unit sales milestone.

Bhavish Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Ola, said, "With the dominance of Ola S1 and Ola S1 Pro in the premium scooter segment, India is already one of the biggest EV markets in the world. More consumers will be persuaded to switch to electric vehicles permanently as a result of the S1 Air's expansion into three additional versions at various price points and the successful S1 portfolio's development."
