- Available in three different trims
- Two S1X and one S1X Plus launched
- Features the same hardware as the S1 Air
Ola Electric has launched its most affordable electric scooter in India, the S1X. Now, there are three variants in the S1X range: S1X (2kWh), S1X and S1X Plus. Let’s take a look at what the trio has to offer.
On the design front, the S1X looks similar to the remaining S1 series but has received minor tweaks. For reference, the headlight cowl appears slightly larger at the top but houses similar twin LED projectors with an LED bezel around it. Then, it gets a flat floorboard just like the new S1 Gen 2 series. Even the handlebar unit appears a little different and the S1X also gets round mirrors. Ola has offered it in two-tone paint schemes.
Powering the S1X base model is a 2kWh battery unit while the mid-spec model and Plus model get a 3kWh unit. That said, all three trims get the same 6kW motor. But the base model's top speed is limited to 85kmph while the remaining get 90kmph of top speed. Ola claims that the charging time for three is 7.4 hours. These further differ in terms of features, and performance as the Plus trim gets a five-inch display, unlike the other two's 3.5-inch units.
The S1X’s hardware has been shared with other S1 scooters. So, it gets the same telescopic front forks and dual rear springs. Its braking hardware comprises drum units at both ends, just like the S1 Air. Then, there’s also the 34-litre boot space, and two cubby storage units in the front apron for added convenience.
The asking price for the Ola S1X (2kWh) is set at Rs. 89,999 while the S1X (3kWh) and S1X Plus are priced at Rs. 99,999 and Rs. 1,09,999 (all ex-showroom, Bengaluru), respectively. The list of colours includes seven options: Red Velocity, Midnight, Funmk, Stellar, Vogue, Porcelain White and Liquid Silver. This also means that the S1 Air has now received a price hike of Rs. 10,000 and it now costs Rs. 1,19,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru).
