Ola S1 X colour options
All three variants of the Ola S1 X are available in seven colours, including four dual-tone finishes such as Red Velocity, Midnight, Vogue, Stellar, Funk, Porcelain White, and Liquid Silver.
Ola S1 X vs Ola S1 X+
The primary difference between the Ola S1 X and the Ola S1 X+ is the instrument console, while the S1 X+ has a bigger 5-inch segmented LCD, the S1 X (all three variants) has a slightly smaller 4.3-inch segmented LCD, and the S1 X with 4kWh battery also comes with a 750W charger, while the S1 X+ comes with a 500W charger, due to this, the S1 X charges much quicker than the S1 X+, despite having a bigger battery.
The Ola S1 X+ also offers smart features like remote unlock, navigation, predictive maintenance, and GPS connectivity. The Ola S1 X also comes with a physical key, while the S1 X+ can be unlocked with just a PIN code.
Ola S1 X series performance figures
Like most electric scooters, the Ola S1 X offers impressive performance figures with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 40KM/s in 3.3 seconds, a top speed of 90KM/hr, and up to 190KM (IDC) range on the variant with 4kWh battery.
