Gen3: What’s New
While the scooter may look the same from outside, there is a lot that has changed underneath. The current generation model of the Ola S1 gets a new platform where Ola has integrated the motor, battery, and electronics into a single box.
The aluminum-casted front and rear frame sub-assembly of the scooter will also be integrated into the battery box. In short, the battery box is actually a part of the scooter’s frame now.
The Gen3 platform is designed in such a manner that it is suitable for future Ola products, including the electric bike. Ola will be using the 4680 Bharat Cell, a lithium-ion battery developed by Ola Electric, in the scooter. The Bharat cells are placed in a pallet, which is covered by a reinforced metal casing to protect the batteries in case of an incident.
Other than the battery, the electric motor on the Ola S1 has also been redesigned. It uses magnetized electrical coils instead of permanent magnets that were present in the previous generation model. They have also integrated the core functionality of the BMS, MCU, and other components into a single high-performance processor.
Earlier this month, Ola also launched their all-new electric motorcycle Roadster Series. Price for Roadster series motorcycles start at Rs 89,999 and go all the way till Rs 1.09 lakh, ex-showroom.
