Context
Why does this story matter?
Ola Electric's S1 and S1 Pro e-scooters have been in the limelight for both good and bad reasons. The company had to close the purchase window of the scooters due to production and delivery-related issues. However, Ola has now re-opened the purchase window for the S1 Pro, aiming to put the past woes behind and meet fresh purchase orders.
Steps
How to buy the Ola S1 Pro?
Open the Ola mobile application and find the section on S1 Pro. If you have already purchased, add the delivery location. If you have only reserved, proceed to pay the balance amount. In the next step, you can either choose EMI or make the full payment digitally. You can also order helmets or buy insurance from the app itself. Deliveries will commence in April.

The e-scooter rides on 12-inch aluminium alloy wheels and is offered in 10 color variants (excluding the new Gerua).
