We have been hearing quite a lot about the upcoming Ola electric scooter, both official teasers, and leaks. Now it seems like the wait is finally over as the Ola electric scooter is likely to launch in July 2021.
In the latest tweet from Bhavish Aggarwal, founder of Ola showcases him riding a production-ready Ola electric scooter. The tweet carries the words, “ready or not, a revolution is coming”, hinting at an imminent launch.
For those who don’t know, this scooter is based upon the Etergo Appscooter - a Dutch start-up company that Ola acquired in 2020. According to the company, they have heavily revised this platform to offer more performance, better range as well as improved technology. Ola claims that they will have segment-leading performance and range figures. Official specifications are still unknown.
What we know is that the Ola Electric scooter will get the same single telescopic front suspension as seen on the Etergo, but with slight tweaks, to suit our roads. Ola is claiming the scooter to have the largest in class boot space. They have also confirmed that the Ola Electric Scooter will have a sleek-looking twin-pod LED headlamp encased within an LED strip.
Ola has revealed that this scooter will come out of a brand new manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu that will have an initial capacity of two million units. By this, we can understand that Ola is going to be competitive in the segment with aggressive pricing. Ola is looking forward to taking in the 125cc petrol-powered scooters with their pricing.
The company has also revealed that they are going to create the largest and most dense charging network in the world. As part of this, they will be making 1 lakh charging points over 400 cities for India. But we don’t know which cities will it be in or how many cities will the scooter be available at launch. Currently, Ather, Bajaj, and TVS are the ones who are making electric scooters in India.
