The Ola S1 Pro has been ruling the roost in the electric scooter segment for a while now. Ola claims that they have a significant share in the segment now and with the new offerings in the pipeline, the dominance is going to get even larger. The Ola S1 Air then is one of those offerings which Ola claims will satisfy those with the need to get an affordable electric scooter and yet not skimp on features and technology. But the Ola S1 Air is not just a scooter with a smaller battery and lesser price. It is based on a new platform which Ola claims is lighter and will be the basis of future products to come.
