Ola Electric, a leading name in India’s electric two-wheeler segment, has recently launched the all-new Ola S1 Z, an electric scooter that blends affordability with innovation. Tailored for urban commuters, the S1 Z brings a strong focus on sustainability, practicality, and modern mobility solutions. With its attractive price point and removable battery feature, the S1 Z aims to shake up the entry-level electric scooter market.
This new scooter is powered by a 3 kW electric motor, which helps it achieve a top speed of 70 kmph. This performance level makes it well-suited for daily city travel, offering both speed and efficiency in a compact form.
Modern Design with Practical Features
Ola has designed the S1 Z with simplicity and functionality at its core. Its appearance is not only clean and modern but also visually distinctive thanks to its boxy aesthetic, which sets it apart from other scooters in the S1 lineup. The S1 Z is available in two variants: the standard S1 Z and the more feature-rich S1 Z+.
The scooter sports a sleek body with smooth lines and a minimalist look. Its compact design makes it easy to navigate through congested city streets. It comes equipped with a stylish LED headlight, daytime running lights (DRLs), and a tail light all of which enhance visibility and add to the scooter’s modern appeal. The single-seat layout emphasizes its practicality, while the telescopic front fork suspension and 14-inch alloy wheels ensure a smooth and stable ride.
Strong Performance and Up to 146 km Range
Performance-wise, the Ola S1 Z offers great versatility. It comes with a 1.5 kWh battery, and users have the option to add a second 1.5 kWh battery, enabling extended travel distance without frequent charging. The 3 kW motor allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 70 kmph, which is more than sufficient for most urban commutes.
When fitted with a single battery, the scooter can deliver a range of up to 75 kilometers. However, with the dual-battery configuration, the range increases significantly to 146 kilometers, making it an excellent option for users who need to cover longer distances.
Budget-Friendly Pricing and Easy EMI Plans
The Ola S1 Z is currently one of the most affordable electric scooters in the company’s lineup. It starts at a price of ₹59,999 (ex-showroom) for the standard model, while the premium S1 Z+ variant is priced at ₹64,999 (ex-showroom). Despite its low price, the scooter offers a solid feature set and practical design, putting it in direct competition with other budget electric scooters like the Yulu Wynn and Zelio Eeva.
The financing options make it even more accessible. For the base S1 Z STD, buyers can make a down payment of ₹10,000 and pay monthly EMIs of ₹1,080. Similarly, the S1 Z+ variant requires the same down payment with slightly higher EMIs at ₹1,150. These flexible financing plans make the S1 Z an easy choice for customers looking for a modern, eco-friendly scooter without breaking the bank.
With its stylish design, practical features, competitive pricing, and the option of a removable battery, the Ola S1 Z is poised to become a popular choice among India’s urban commuters seeking a sustainable and cost-effective transportation solution.
