User Reviews
Buying experience was good, service experience is very nice and reasonable. Riding experience and power is amazing. Overall I would give 5 star for this two wheeler as there is full of comfort, power and pocket friendly. Charging takes just 3 hours to get fully charged and its ready to go for your next ride.

Because of its performance. It looks good. It has a good pickup and the balance is also very good. The agility is also decent. And the engine is super refined. And it stands out in its competition easily. I have a mixed experience with this bike. The battery got dead in just 6000 km. I had to replace the battery. The issue with the rear rim was the worst. The socket in which the rim fits it got loose and when i went to the service centre, they didn't come up with the solution. The front suspension is so hard that you can't even take small pots on the road. And the fit and finish can be much better. The rear break is week. If the road condition is very good and millage is not an issue and someone who wants a scooter which can deliver power and has a good road presence can consider it. But personally I would not purchase again this scooter.Read More
I had purchased it when ev was new in market, I am very much satisfied. I had drove it for more than 50000 kms with no expense. I had to change only tyres and regular service only one auxiliary battery of Rs. 800 had been changed. I am quiet impressed me and my son both have purchased but there is very less front space between handle and seat to carry extra luggage vegetables or ration need to improve in this area good service staff in patni and Nagpur. I will recommend everyone to go for this ev only. Positive, Very good for local commute, I had recovered all the money spend for purchase, me and my son had not spend a single penny for petrol, very pleasant ride for city and highway also but with limitation of distance. mid age person college boys with huge space in seat box for helmet and laptop girls working women also it's value for money, I had already 2 chetak with me and both vehicle had been run for 50000 and 23000 kms planning to purchase one more for my wife.Read More

Smooth and always comfortable and safe journey highly recommend to everyone for this is vehicle and which will be good, the bike is amazing and very smooth in riding, experience was good, satisified with this bike. The real-world ride quality of the Ola S1 Z has received a largely positive response from daily city commuters. Owners praise its practicality, though its performance varies depending on the specific terrain. Yes, I would recommend the Ola S1 Z if you are looking for an affordable, highly practical electric scooter for short city commutes, especially if you live in an apartment without a dedicated parking charging point. However, it is not ideal for everyone. Here is a direct breakdown of why you should or shouldn't buy it, and who it is best for.Read More
