OLA S1 Air Review- Only 1 model and 6 colors are offered for the OLA S1 Air electric scooter. In India, the S1 Air pricing range begins at Rs. 1,10,461. The engine in the OLA S1 Air produces 2700 W of power. OLA S1 Air creates a combined braking system for both wheels with front and rear drum brakes. Ola just updated the S1 Air and offered three alternative battery choices. As a result, it may now be purchased with a 2kWh, 3kWh, or 4kWh battery.

The asking prices are set at, respectively, Rs 84,999, Rs 99,999, and Rs 1,09,999 (all three ex-showroom Bengaluru). The Ola S1 Air has the same appearance as the other two models. It has the same curved body panels, single-piece seat, dual projector headlamps, and mirrors. The Air, however, differs from the other types in that it has a flat footboard, which can improve practicality by adding a little more storage space. The S1 Air sports a hub-mounted motor with a 4.5kW peak output that was installed by Ola.

Introduction

Over the last several months, Ola Electric has been crushing its competitors in terms of sales figures, commanding the market by a wide margin. Despite this, the corporation doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon and plans to keep improving the appeal of its portfolio. The new S1 Air is an obvious indication of that. Based on the Gen 2 platform, this is Ola Electric’s most economical product to date. It intends to appeal to those who would like to buy an e-scooter as fashionable and cutting-edge as the S1 Pro but find it much too pricey. But does a lower price also come with a lot of sacrifices? Or, is it equally competitive with the higher-spec Ola.

Features

The Ola S1 Air has a flat footboard, a roomy 34-liter under-seat storage compartment, and all-LED lighting throughout. It has a touch-enabled 7-inch TFT instrument console with an octa-core processor running at 2.2 GHz and 3GB of RAM. The console has full-featured GPS navigation as well as Bluetooth connectivity for cellphones, LTE, and WiFi. Reverse mode, different riding profiles, music/call controls, and OTA updates are further noteworthy features. The S1 Air has received features including false engine noises, hill-hold assist, vacation mode, proximity unlock, riding moods (Bolt, Vintage, and Eclipse), better regenerative braking, Hypercharging, and key sharing in its most recent OTA update.

Performance

The 4.5kW max output of the wheel hub-mounted motor on the S1 Air. Although this is far less than the S1 Pro’s 8.5kW, the business still asserts that the peak speed is 90kph. The riding experience is really comfortable when you’re moving. Most people won’t really need much more because of the outstanding performance and the fact that this is still one of the fastest e-scooters on the market.

Although it produces a high pitched electronic sound that some people might not appreciate, the motor is slightly quieter than the S1 Pro. At low speeds, you can definitely feel an odd jolt when you open or close the accelerator. I opened the boot to see if there was anything loose moving about within.

Because this scooter still has somewhat erratic acceleration reactions, its familiarity with the quicker Olas also extends to its drawbacks. When you twist the accelerator, the S1 Air takes a little while to react. After you close it, the acceleration lasts for around a second. The power is also turned off the instant you even slightly touch the brakes, much like the previous Olas. When coupled with the odd accelerator response, this creates a tricky situation when attempting to execute tight bends or u-turns in traffic.

Powertrain

A hub-type electric motor that can generate 4.5kW of peak power and draws energy from a 3kWh battery powers the S1 Air. The electric scooter’s peak speed is listed as 85 kmph, while its certified range is listed as 125 km.

Suspension & Brakes

The tubular frame of the Ola S1 Air is supported by a telescoping fork and twin rear shock absorbers. Both ends employ drum units for braking, with CBS being the norm. On 12-inch steel wheels with tubeless tires, the e-scooter travels. The S1 Air has 165mm of ground clearance.

Top Speed

S1 Air, there was no method to evaluate the scooter’s range. The quickest Sport mode, however, quickly reached the top speed of 90 kph. While the top speed and acceleration are marginally slower in Eco and Normal settings, respectively. For the most part, I rode the scooter in Sport, which I found to be significantly faster than the other two modes, especially over 30 kph. Even though the acceleration in this mode seemed a little abrupt, the Eco setting made it bearable.

Range

Ola says that its 2.98kWh battery can go 125 km (miles) in eco mode, 100 km (miles) in normal mode, and 87 km (miles) in sport mode. According to estimates, it takes 5 hours to charge a device at home from 0% to 80% in 3.8 hours. The Ola S1 Air experience as a whole is extremely consistent with the brand. You get incredible features, the assurance of excellent performance, and unmatched sales accessibility, practically everywhere in the nation. Due to this and its alluring costs, Ola has quickly risen to the top of the two-wheeler EV industry. If you wish to get an Ola S1 scooter, the S1 Air provides an experience that is extremely comparable to the S1 Pro.

Interior

The Ola S1 Air appears to have several positive qualities, which make it a desirable bundle. It includes a visually appealing appearance, a plethora of modern, practical features, a respectable peak speed, a promising battery range, and useful storage. When you consider the price tag of Rs. 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), all of this seems rather alluring.

We were thrilled by the scooter’s acceleration, handling, sitting comfort, and general extravagance of features during our brief time with it. However, a few minor flaws like unequal panel gaps around the footboard, a front brake that was quite useless, and a clicking sound when decelerating, among others, served as flies in the ointment. We are expecting that the final production model would smooth down these sharp edges. Therefore, a thorough road test of the production model is essential before we can advise you to take into account the S1 Air.

Conclusion

The S1 Air’s top speed is 95 kmph, and Ola estimates that a 2 kWh battery will last 85 km, a 3 kWh battery 125 km, and a 4 kWh battery 165 km. Among the features it has are the TFT screen, smartphone connectivity, riding modes, reverse mode, side stand alert, OTA updates, audio playing, remote boot lock/unlock, navigation, and predictive maintenance. The S1 Air’s suspension consists of two rear shocks and telescoping front forks.
