₹1.29 lakh onwards (ex-showroom, India) The hype created by Ola Electric around their battery-powered scooters is genuine. But I presume that like many others, you too wish to understand what your booking amount of Rs 499 got you? We have all seen the images or specifications and assumed that the scooter will be just like the Ather 450x but let us gloss over that for the time being and focus on everything that the Ola S1 Pro has on offer. Your initial payment of Rs 499 just might be one of your best investments for 2021. Want to know why? Stick till the end. LOOKS: If you do an image search for the word funky, what pops up are images of the S1 Pro because this certainly looks interesting. The overall design elements add a lot of flair to the electric scooter’s appeal, making it stand out from the sea of mundane petrol-powered scooters. Although the scooter’s design is extremely simple without too many cuts or creases on the body, it just adds to the quirkiness of the S1 Pro. In addition, when turned on, the headlights look like eyes staring at the road, which adds to the attractive characteristics of the scooter. Furthermore, the LED taillights and turn indicators also look really good. On top of all this, add the fact that you have ten colour options to choose from that just seems like a cherry on top of an already good looking cake.
