The Ola Electric Scooter will have a single-piece seat with a pillion grab rail, an indicator-mounted front apron, and a 'smiley face' headlamp. The vehicle is expected to house a 7.0-inch color touchscreen instrument console with support for Bluetooth connectivity and a full-LED setup for lighting. It will ride on blacked-out wheels and tip the scales at around 74kg.
Ola Electric Scooter will be equipped with a non-removable Lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged from 0-50% in 18 minutes, ensuring a range of 75km. This translates to a total range of around 150km. It should also accelerate from 0-45km/h in around four seconds.
In terms of safety equipment, the Ola Electric Scooter will be equipped with disc brakes on both the front as well as rear wheels. A combined braking system or ABS might also be available for better handling. Suspension duties on the vehicle should be taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a horizontally-mounted shock absorber on the rear end.
The Ola Electric Scooter will be built at the brand's 'FutureFactory' in Tamil Nadu and should cost around Rs. 1 lakh (ex-showroom). The two-wheeler will take on rivals such as the Ather 450X and TVS iQube.
