OLA S1 Air Price in Mallapuram

We all know enough about the OLA experience. But today, let me tell you my personal experience with this vehicle. We have bought this vehicle exactly one year ago. Some of the common issues were :
1. It switched to parking mode while running.
2. The screen didn't respond when it rained.
3. Everything except the accelerator and brakes were unresponsive at times and I had to stop the scooter and reboot it 2-3 times.
The FUNNIEST PART is - the major issue came up exactly on the 1st anniversary of our scooter.
The battery has degraded in just one year. (Please note that we handled the scooter very gently and took good care.)
The issue is: that the last 10% of battery (90% - 100%) was as if it didn’t exist at all.
1. After a full charge, the battery would drop by 2-3% even without the scooter being used.
2. Normally, I have observed that for every 1.5 kms traveled in normal mode, 2% of the battery would be consumed. (before the issue came up)
But when you ride when the battery is in the last 10 percent (90-100%) the battery percentage drops really quickly. It is dropping by 3-4 % for just 1km travelled.
HONEST OPINION - OLA scooters are not a good choice for long-term vehicle owners.

About the Reviewer

We as a group have purchased 6 Ola bikes (2 S1 Air, 4 Ola pros) almost a year back. Every one of us faced issues with their respective Ola vehicles. I have purchased an Ola S1 Air.
Pros - The pickup & ride comfort are good
Cons - service, software issues
A few of the issues faced by us
1) we need to restart the bike at least every 2 days. Now it needs to restart every 12 hrs
2) Ola claims a mileage of 150km for S1 air. But when u are riding in the city you get a mileage ranging from 65 to a max of 80km (depending on mode, single/double riding). I get 80 km when I drive single & in eco mode. My friends get a mileage of around 110 for an S1 Pro.
3) A couple of us are unable to connect the bike to the app which is not resolved to date.
4) Touch becomes an issue & doesn't respond when the screen is overheated during summers & when it gets completely wet. ( Had to wait for 20 mins every time it gets wet to start the bike as it's not connected appa as well).
5) The worst part is their service. They don't even fit the vehicle properly & new problems are arising after service is done.

I bought this Ola S1 Air during the month of August when it was launched. Overall riding experience has been good. But there were a couple of times when the bike did not start at all and I had to get it towed. The fact that it does not have a physical key is a real disadvantage. But I feel afraid to recommend it to anyone since there have been some really difficult situations I faced with this scooter. There is definitely some amount of risk when you are buying Ola due to insufficient service centers. Overall it has been an okay experience.
