The eagerly awaited S1X electric scooter will soon be unveiled in the nation by Ola Electric. Ola is preparing to redefine affordability with the upcoming S1X in the wake of the success of the S1 Air, which made its debut at an incredible price of Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

According to sources within the industry, the Ola S1X is anticipated to have a starting price under Rs 1 lakh. This would further make it an unavoidable option for commuters on a tight budget looking for an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional petrol-powered scooters.
