Let’s be honest electric scooters aren’t the future anymore, they’re the now. And if you’ve been holding off on making the switch, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 might be the thing that finally convinces you.
I recently took a deep dive into what this scooter offers, and I’ll be real with you: it’s impressive. From performance to tech to the way it looks, Ola’s latest model really brings its A-game.
It’s Quick. Like, Really Quick.
This scooter isn’t just some quiet city cruiser. It’s got a punch to it. The S1 Pro Gen 3 comes with an 11 kW electric motor, which if you’re not into the technical stuff basically means it can pick up speed fast. We’re talking 0 to 40 km/h in under 3 seconds, and a top speed of 120 km/h.
And with the larger 4 kWh battery, you’re getting close to 200 km of real-world range. That’s a full week’s worth of office commutes for most people without needing to charge.
Feels Like Riding a Gadget (In a Good Way)
Here’s where it gets even cooler. Ola’s fitted this scooter with what they call MoveOS 5. It’s their own software that turns the scooter into something way smarter than you’d expect.
There’s built-in navigation, cruise control, even a party mode (yes, your scooter can play music and flash lights). You can share your live location with friends and even get help in emergencies thanks to the SOS feature.
Everything shows up on this super clean 7-inch touchscreen that connects with your phone. It honestly feels like riding a smart device.
It’s Not Just Flashy It’s Thoughtful
Now, one of the things I personally loved is how much thought went into safety and durability. The scooter’s got something called “brake-by-wire,” which basically makes the brakes more responsive and helps them last longer.
They’ve also switched to a chain drive instead of a belt. Sounds boring? Not really—it means you won’t be visiting the service center as often. And with features like single-channel ABS, you’re getting solid braking even in messy weather.
Sleek Looks, Comfortable Ride
If you care about style (who doesn’t?), you’ll be happy to know this thing looks as good as it rides. The design is clean and modern, and it comes in some gorgeous colors—like Porcelain White, Jet Black, and a seriously underrated Stellar Blue.
It’s comfortable too. Whether you’re tall, short, riding solo or with someone else, it just feels… right.
Not Crazy Expensive, Either
With all this tech and power, you’d expect the price to shoot through the roof, but Ola’s kept things surprisingly accessible. The 3 kWh version starts at ₹1,14,999, and the more powerful 4 kWh model is ₹1,34,999 (ex-showroom). That’s a pretty fair deal for what you’re getting.
Plus, it comes with a 3-year warranty (or 50,000 km), and you can extend that all the way up to 1.25 lakh km if you want that extra peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
Look, if you’re in the market for an electric scooter that actually feels exciting—something that’s not just a tool, but a joy to ride the Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 hits that sweet spot.
It’s fast, it’s smart, it looks great, and it won’t empty your wallet. Whether you’re upgrading or buying your first EV, this one deserves a serious look.
