Ola S1 Air has been spotted testing on the Bengaluru roads and the deliveries are slated to commence soon.
Ola is a Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer that has taken the market by storm. It has been a popular choice among the new EV buyers in the country. However, it was plagued with a ton of issues pertaining to the safety of the battery and quality problems with regard to the front suspension. But it looks like the company has worked on these quite vehemently and fixed these. Nevertheless, we do come across such cases once in a while still. But Ola aims to address new customers with another product that is named S1 Air. The previous models were called S1 and S1 Pro.

What We Think
Ola has been trying to grab a major market share for itself in the country to challenge the legacy two-wheeler manufacturers. With the S1 Air, buyers will get more options to choose from. That is a healthy sign for the industry as we go forward. The S1 Air will rival the likes of the Ather 450X, TVS iQube and Simple One. The bookings are underway and the deliveries start in July. It would be interesting to see how the audience will receive it in just a couple of months.
