In a latest development, concerned Ola S1 Pro owners have launched an online petition asking to release the crash test video of the electric scooter. Now, it is a well-known fact that two-wheelers are not subjected to crash tests for obvious reasons. Their structural rigidity and ruggedness are not useful in the event of an unfortunate crash. That is because the riders are not surrounded by the body of the scooter. Instead, in fact, he/she is thrown off the bike rendering the tough build of the bike useless.

Ola S1 Pro Owners Demand Crash Test Video
The petition has been launched on Change.org by Ola S1 Pro owners after encountering the recurring issue of front suspension breakage. There have been quite a few such cases where people have suffered injuries due to the sudden mishap caused by this mechanical failure. Resultantly, the petition demands that better quality assurance checks need to be done to ensure that the customers get the highest quality of products against the money that they are paying for the electric scooter. A part of the petition reads- “As consumers, we have the right to know about the safety of the products we are considering purchasing. We demand that OLA take immediate action to release a crash test video and conduct regular safety tests, in order to ensure the safety of its customers.”
