Ola Electric ScooterThe Ola Electric Scooter scooter with a price tag of estimate Rs. 1.35 Lakh. It is available in 1 variant and 1 colour. Powered by a  Motor. The Ola Electric Scooter has Disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes.

Ola Electric has appointed veteran Yongsung Kim as the Head of Global Sales & Distribution, overseeing India and international markets. He previously worked as executive director at Hyundai Motor and Kia. He’ll be responsible for spearheading both the domestic and international strategy for sales and go-to-market for Ola Electric. 

The Ola Electric Scooter is derived from Amsterdam-based startup Etergo and its AppScooter. It claims a rather lofty 240km range on a single charge, courtesy three swappable battery packs measuring 1.155kWh each. However, this range figure is measured at a constant speed of 20kmph, so real world range will be lower.

It is powered by a 50Nm motor with a peak output of 6kW and continuous output of 3kW, which allows it to accelerate to 45kmph in 3.9 seconds. However, this figure is based on simulations and has not been tested. But with a kerb weight of just 74kg and all 50Nm of torque available from 0kmph, the Ola Electric Scooter should be quite sprightly.

It gets disc brakes at both ends (200mm/180mm) and rolls on 12-inch alloy wheels. Single-sided suspension front and rear means both wheels are entirely visible from the right side. This is a smart scooter with Bluetooth connectivity that can pair up to your phone to offer features such as geo-fencing, remote locking/unlocking, on-screen navigation, and phone call and music playback management.

Etergo has been bought by Ola Electric and will be manufactured in India. The company hopes to launch the scooter in 2021, when it will go up against the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ather 450X. We expect it to be priced around the Rs 1.35 lakh mark.
