Ola S1, Ola S1 Pro deliveries finally begin after facing delays: features, specifications

The endless number of delays has reportedly taken away from the hype and appeal factor of the two electric scooters despite the scooter packing in a lot of promise. Like the rest of the auto industry globally (as well as domestically) companies have been struggling to keep pace with their order books owing to chip and parts shortages. Many production facilities are running at a lower than optimal capacity. Ola Electric, too, reported similar issues and cited reasons to be chip shortages and shortages in electronic parts to be the primary reasons for the delay. However, another pressing issue stands to be Ola Electric’s troubles with getting state clearances.

Heat management while on Hyper Mode, dead acceleration, and missing features on the MID are some among the list of niggles Ola Electric is yet to iron out. Production models rolling off the line from today onwards are expected to incorporate some basic fine-tuning and updates wherever important.
