Ola Electric Scooter Price - Is it Competitive Enough?

The Ola electric scooter is finally here. It will be available in two variants - Ola S1 and Ola S1 Pro. As expected, the new E2W is loaded with several interesting features that we are looking forward to trying out once we get our hands on it. The new Ola electric scooter price has been set at INR 85,099 for the base S1 model whereas the S1 Pro trim retails at INR 1,10,149. So, are these figures competitive enough in the current electric scooter segment?

One of the main rivals of the new Ola electric scooter is the Ather 450 Plus and 450X. Apart from these two models, we also have the TVS iQube and the Bajaj Chetak. Interestingly, we also have a new contender in the segment - the recently launched Simple One.
