The Ola S1 Pro is Ola Electric’s flagship electric scooter which promises among the highest range and most performance of any Indian electric scooter. To top it off, the S1 Pro is absolutely feature packed as well. Recently, Ola also launched the second generation of the S1 Pro, deliveries for which are slated to start by October-November 2023. You can check out all the details of the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 here.
The Ola S1 Pro rival the likes of the Ather 450X, Simple One, and the upcoming TVS iQube ST. In a similar price bracket, you could also purchase the Apache RTR 160, Revolt RV400 or the Pulsar NS160.
The S1 Pro Gen 1 is available in a sole variant, featuring 12 color options: Neo Mint, Coral Glam, Marshmallow, Anthracite Grey, Liquid Silver, Midnight Blue, Jet Black, Matte Black, Khaki, Millennial Pink, Gerua, and Porcelain White. Ola does list the S1 Pro Gen 2 available for sale at the moment, but going forward, the Gen 2 will replace the current S1 Pro Gen 1.

Gets a stylish design and an affordable price tag
The range might be insufficient for certain riders, and there are concerns regarding the build quality and dependability
Due to changes in FAME 2 subsidies, Ola Electric couldn’t maintain the original pricing for the S1 Air when it was eventually launched a year later. The S1X appears to be Ola Electric’s endeavor to offer an affordable electric scooter, competing in price with 100-110cc petrol-powered scooters. 
Within a short span of just over a year, Ola has established itself to be a serious contender in the electric two-wheeler space. The Ola S1 Pro model has seen two serious software updates in this timeframe; and for 2023, the electric scooter is enhanced with the MoveOS 3 OTA software roll-out. Here’s how each new feature enriches the riding experience, and what more could Ola really do to make the S1 Pro even better.
Ola has recalibrated all of its riding modes to offer a more spirited experience. The Ola S1 Pro feels sprightly in Hyper and doesn’t feel inadequate in Sport or Normal mode either. In fact, in the latter two riding modes, the e-scooter is over a second quicker in the run to 60kmph than what it could muster with MoveOS 2 software.

There is a healthier spread of torque across the board until the top speed of each mode is achieved. The throttle response is a bit more prompt than before but there’s still some work to be done in this regard. There is still a marginal delay between the twisting throttle and the scooter moving forwards or making that overtake. And while slowing down rapidly, you will still find the scooter accelerating ever so slightly even after you shut the throttle. This delay becomes quite prominent in Hyper and Sport modes where there’s more juice flowing to the motor.
Thankfully, the scooter no longer kills the power entirely when you tap the brakes. There is a sizable drop in the current that is supplied to the motor but the scooter can still roll forwards. This makes the Ola S1 Pro more manageable than before when executing tight U-turns.
Thanks to advanced regenerative braking, the rider can choose how rapidly or slowly they would like the scooter to slow down on its own accord. There are three levels to choose from: Low, Default and High. In order to test just how different each mode is, we conducted a VBox deceleration test, where in Normal mode, we let the scooter naturally slow down. Here’s how much time and distance each mode took:
Regen Level
45-30kmph Deceleration Time
45-30kmph Deceleration Distance
Low
12.52s
129.86m
Default
8.43s
87.39m
High
6.21s
64.26m
I preferred to keep the regen in the Default mode as it was easy to manage the scooter in bumper to bumper traffic with the throttle delay issue still persisting. In the highest setting, you don’t have to rely on the brakes as much to slow down the scooter.
Thanks to these improvements, the Ola S1 Pro has once again reclaimed the top spot in our range tests; only just, though.
Range
Ola S1 Pro MoveOS 3
147.6km
Ather 450X Gen 3

Ola S1 Pro MoveOS 2

TVS iQube S

It ran for 147.6km in Normal mode with default regen setting. It could’ve gone for a bit more but the issue was the Eco mode. Once the charge levels drop below 15 percent, the S1 Pro automatically switches to Eco, where the performance is drastically curbed. It still remains unusable for commuting, taking a while to set off, and can only reach a VBox-tested top speed of 37kmph – thus making overtaking a tricky affair. Ultimately, it remains a limp home setting rather than an actual riding mode.
Hopefully, the need for the situation should never arise for you as Ola has finally begun setting up its ambitiously extensive Hypercharging network of fast chargers. At the time of recording this video, we only found two Hyperchargers stations in Pune with one of them appearing offline. Two more are in the pipeline and all of them are currently at BPCL fuel stations. 
Tired of looking at the same dash graphics? MoveOS 3 brings two more screen layouts that Ola calls Moods. Eclipse is the stock one, Vintage and Bolt are the new additions. Each one gets its own dedicated dark mode that can be kept on always or when the sun. They also get a unique engineered motor sound that is bellowed from the speakers. Head over to our video review on Youtube to hear each one of them.
I loved the screen graphics in Bolt with the dark theme activated. I am not a fan of the sounds as they feel too engineered and not quite authentic. My bigger complaint is that these sounds are throttle position based and not speed dependent. You could be at standstill and make it seem like you are at India Bike Week all over again, or you could be coasting at a reasonable pace with the only sound accompanying you being the same droning one that you get at idle. Hence, I just kept the sounds switched off.
There are still two Beta features that have gone active with MoveOS 3: Proximity Unlock and Hill Hold. In order to activate the former, you have to connect your smartphone to the scooter and follow the instructions on the app by moving around to sync the sensors. Once this process is completed, you could simply just walk away from the scooter to lock it down and just approach it to unlock and ride away.
While it sounds simple, there are still a few bugs that need to be ironed out. While the locking process worked always, the unlocking process wasn’t always as smooth. Not only during the time of the shoot but also when I was using it for a couple of days as a daily runabout, the system worked only half the time.
Finally, Hill Hold is one feature that does make it easier to manage the scooter on steep inclines. Prior to activating the feature, you must first calibrate it by going to a flat road, toggling on Hill Hold in the settings menu, turning on the motor and pressing the brakes for three to four seconds. Later, when you do arrive on an incline, press the brakes till the hill hold prompt appears on the dash and only then let go of the brakes. The Ola S1 Pro will remain locked for a minute after which the system will warn you that it is getting deactivated. In order to kill the hill hold, you can either tap the brake or simply roll away.
There are a few more nifty features that are pretty self explanatory, which you can read more about in this story.
There’s no mincing it, with the MoveOS3 updates, the Ola S1 Pro is a much better scooter than the one we rode before. Not only is it more peppy in all riding modes but also more manageable and customisable. However, if the engineers were to iron out the throttle calibration issues that still persist and somehow make that Eco mode usable, then it would be an even better package. So, as it stands, it is definitely worthy enough for you to enjoy Party mode.
The underseat storage is excellent, and the vehicle has a respectable range and top speed. It is very practical and provides excellent riding, and the seat is more comfortable and provides excellent handling. This electric scooter has outstanding motor performance, a long driving range, a lot of features, and connected apps. Its top speed is roughly 115 kmph. It provides excellent performance and a driving range of approximately 170 km per charge and has a retro appearance with a modern design, but the plastic quality is poor.
