India is one of the biggest two-wheeler markets globally and it is on the cusp of going all-electric. In a bid to lead the revolution, Ola, the ride-sharing outfit, has announced a couple of electric scooters in India under a new brand known as Ola Electric Mobility. The two scooters that the company has announced are called S1 and S1 Pro. While the Ola S1 will be available in 5 different colour options, the S1 Pro will have 10 different colourways to choose from. The S1 and S1 Pro are the first models to roll out of its massive Future Factory in Tamil Nadu. Once completed the factory can churn out 10 million scooters every year which will be sold in international markets apart from India. The company has plans to make electric cars as well in this factory. According to the company, the Ola S1 will be available for Rs.99,999 (ex. showroom) while the Ola S1 can be bought at a starting price of Rs.129,999 (ex. showroom). Subsidies applicable as per the FAME II and respective state’s EV policy brings the acquisition costs further down undercutting the competitor products like Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and even ICE vehicles like Honda Activa – India’s most used ungeared two-wheeler.
