The update for the electric scooter will roll out this Diwali
Nearly a week after the launch of the MoveOS 3.0 update was confirmed for this Diwali, we spotted multiple Ola S1 scooters, trying out the update.
While the noise isn’t very clear, given the surroundings, the synthesized sound on the scooters sounds almost UFO-like. This is similar to the Revolt RV400 which comes with four ‘exhaust notes’, all of which are different and sound more conventional. We expect more such futuristic ‘engine sounds’ in the final version too.

In this update, the electric scooter will also get features like hill-hold, proximity unlock, ride moods, regenerative braking V2, hypercharging, calling and key sharing. Ola could even throw in voice assistance for the S1 Pro. Something we would like to see is Ola improve the scooter’s throttle response to reduce the power lag. It’ll also be interesting to see how many of these features make their way to the new, more affordable variant, which is likely to be priced on par with the Honda Activa 6G.
Currently the S1 retails at Rs 99,999, while the S1 Pro costs Rs 1,39,999 (both prices effective ex-showroom). There’s also a flat discount of Rs 10,000 on the S1 Pro for the current festive season. The Ola S1 competes with the TVS iQube Electric, Bajaj Chetak, Vida V1 and the Ather 450 Plus.

- It's Affordable And Won't Affect The EnvironmentPros and disadvantages pros: If you want this for short, everyday trips, get it since it's affordable and won't affect the environment much. It also has more features than any other scooter. Cons: This bike's noise occasionally comes from certain components, such as its headlight and disc brake, and I didn't particularly like the way it looked. It may also not be as effective in rural areas where there is a lack of electricity and electric stations as well as poor roads, making it less likely to perform as well. My recommendation is that you utilise it for daily activities and sporadic trips.Read More1
