Ola S1 Pro (Gen 2, 2024)

Meet the Ola S1 Pro Gen-2 (2024)

Ola’s second-generation S1 Pro is the brand’s flagship electric scooter built on a re-engineered Gen-2 platform. The upgrades focus on performance, efficiency and durability, making it one of the quickest and most feature-packed e-scooters you can buy in India. Ola quotes a peak motor output of 11 kW and a certified range that lands around the 190–195 km (IDC) mark, depending on variant and testing cycle.

Design & Chassis—Now Truly Gen-2

The Gen-2 S1 Pro keeps the clean, minimal silhouette but switches to a sturdier chassis setup with a twin-fork front and rear monoshock, plus a reworked frame that reduces weight and improves ride quality. The flat floorboard is practical for city runs, and you still get generous boot space for daily use. Media first looks and Ola’s newsroom note highlight the lighter build and revised hardware.

Motor & Performance (It’s Quick!)

At the heart is a mid-drive IPM motor with 11 kW peak and 5.5 kW rated output. Ola claims blistering acceleration (0–40 km/h in ~2.6 s) and a top speed listed between 116–120 km/h depending on the page/version you reference. That spread is normal as manufacturers adjust figures with software updates and test cycles.

Battery, Range & What “190–195 km” Means

The Gen-2 platform advertises up to ~195 km IDC on a single charge; many buyers summarize that as ~190 km certified range. Real-world range varies with mode, rider weight, terrain and temperature; owner-reported numbers commonly fall lower (as with any EV). Charging with the bundled portable charger typically takes about 6.5 hours to 100%.

Riding Modes & Software (MoveOS)

You get multiple modes—Eco, Normal, Sport, Hyper—to balance performance and efficiency. Ola’s MoveOS platform enables features like keyless start, navigation, OTA updates, ride stats, and more. Software is a big part of the experience, so check for the latest MoveOS version when you take delivery or during a test ride.

Brakes, Tyres & Safety Tech

The S1 Pro Gen-2 uses disc brakes at both ends with a combi-brake system (CBS) for confidence in panic stops. The chassis and suspension changes aim to improve stability, while software features such as hill-hold (on some builds) and traction-aiding logic add peace of mind on inclines or slippery patches. Always verify exact feature availability for your firmware and region.

Charging at Home or on the Go

Most owners charge at home overnight via the supplied portable charger (approx 6.5 hours to full). Ola’s Hypercharger network continues to expand; public charging can be a useful backup during longer urban days. If fast-charging support is offered in your area, it’s best used to top-up rather than full cycles to preserve battery health.

Comfort, Storage & Everyday Practicality

The scooter retains a spacious boot (handy for a helmet/groceries) and a flat floor for extra carry-ons. Ride ergonomics are neutral, with a broad seat for rider and pillion. Thanks to the Gen-2 weight trimming and new suspension layout, low-speed maneuvering in traffic feels more planted than before, according to early ride reports.

Pricing & Variants Context (2024)

Pricing fluctuates with city, subsidies and seasonal promotions. Ola’s product pages and brochures are the best source for current figures and the exact spec you’ll get, including color options and certified numbers (some official pages list 181 km IDC and 116 km/h for the latest build). When shopping, capture screenshots of the listed specs for your order record.

Should You Buy It?

If you want an electric scooter that’s quick off the line, packed with connected features, and engineered on a more robust second-gen platform, the Ola S1 Pro Gen-2 is easy to recommend. The 11 kW peak output gives it real punch for flyovers and quick overtakes, while the ~190–195 km IDC claim keeps weekday charging anxiety low for typical city commutes. Check your real-world route, test all modes, and confirm the software version and warranty terms at the experience center before you finalize.
