The Ola S1 electric scooter is priced at Rs. 1 lakh, while the S1 Pro costs Rs. 1.30 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). However, prices could further go down at the time of delivery, depending on state subsidies on EVs across the country. The base model S1 will come with a top speed of 90 kmph offering a range of up to 121 km on a single charge. On the other hand, the S1 Pro is claimed to offer a top speed of about 115 kmph and a range of up to 181 km.
