FollowOla Electric Mobility Ltd unveiled its new Gen 3 electric scooter range on Friday, January 31, 2025. The new scooter range comes with Ola's ‘MoveOS 5’ which is their new EV operating system. The new S1 Pro, S1 Pro+, and the more reasonably priced S1 X and S1 X+ have all been unveiled by the EV manufacturer.
A 3 kwh battery and a 4 kwh battery are the two battery types available with the S1 Pro. In the meanwhile, the Pro+ may be equipped with a 5.3 kW or 4 kW battery pack. While the Ola S1 X+ only comes with a 4 kWh battery pack, the S1 X comes with options for 2, 3, and 4 kWh battery packs. According to Ola, the Pro+ boasts a remarkable 320 km range and a peak speed of 141 kph.
Additionally, Ola's unique "Brake by Wire" technology is included with the Gen 3 scooters. This doubles the brake pad life and increases range by 15% by balancing motor resistance and brake pad use using a sensor on the brake lever.
The electric motor's ability to regenerate power from braking action contributes to the extended range. In contrast to earlier models that used hub motors, the scooters now have a mid-drive motor and an integrated Motor Control Unit (MCU). Aggarwal asserts that it is more dependable, lighter, and five times more efficient. In addition, the scooters use a chain drive with pre-lubricated O-rings instead of the belt drive found in earlier models. Ola anticipates that the chains will outlast the belts by a factor of two.
