Ola S1 Pro easy on the pocket
The Hindu
The easy to use vehicle, with its no-frill design, offers a few hiccups which Ola says can be rectified
Ola Electric has made a huge impression with the launch of its S1 and S1 Pro e-scooters. They promise to lead the segment not only in performance but also in terms of range and deliver segment-first features as well. Can they, however, live up to the hype that has been created around them? We recently had a short go on the S1 Pro, the more premium of Ola’s offerings.
The S1 Pro does not wow you with its design, but has an understated look that is defined by clean lines and no frills. Yet, it has a crisp and modern look befitting an electric scooter. Shut-lines and panel gaps are tight and consistent, and the material used does not feel cheap, even if they do not feel lush. Overall, the S1 Pro looks and feels like a well-finished vehicle, barring a few exceptions like a flimsy side-stand and oddly rubber-mounted grab rails.
Even as prominent ecotourism destinations in Kozhikode offer visitors a feast for the eyes during the monsoon season, the district is yet to witness promotional activities by the Tourism department or the District Tourism Promotion Council. On the other hand, private tourism entrepreneurs are benefiting from the season by offering visitors reduced tariffs for accommodation and recreational activities.
