Sharing an image on Twitter, CEO Bhavish Aggarwal congratulated the team, “Built the first scooter in our Futurefactory today! From barren land in Feb to this in under 6 months despite a pandemic!! The @OlaElectric team is just amazing."
The first e-scooter came out of the factory within six months from the start of building phase one of the EV maker's plant.
Ola has launched the scooter in two variants: S1 and S1 Pro. The S1 provides a top speed of 90kmph with a 0 to 40kmph speed of 3.6 seconds and a driving range of 121 km. Both variants put out a peak power of 8.5 kW and come with a battery unit that has a capacity of 3.92 kWh.
Ola S1 Pro comes with a top speed of 115 kmph along with a 0 to 40kmph acceleration in 3 seconds. The scooter provides a driving range of 181 km.
The Ola S1 has been priced at ₹99,999 in most states and the Ola S1 Pro has been priced at ₹1,29,999. These variants will cost much lesser in states that have FAME subsidy in place.
Ola has claimed that the Ola Scooter is the most pre-booked scooter in the world. The bookings for Ola's first electric scooter are still open and the company is charging a token amount of ₹499 for the bookings. According to the company, the bookings crossed the threshold of 1-lakh bookings in just the first 24 hours.
The Ola Scooter will come with some segment-first features such as keyless experience. The company recently also revealed that the scooter will also get a reverse mode which should make it easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Ola Electric has also confirmed that the scooter will come with the largest boot space in its segment.
