Underpinnings
- Based on Ola Electric’s gen-2 platform, the S1 X gets a flat floorboard.
- The underpinnings of this entry-level Ola scooter include pressed steel wheels and drum brakes at both ends. Suspension duties are handled by a telescopic fork up front and twin shock absorbers mounted to a double-sided swingarm at the rear.
Design and Features
- In addition to the above-mentioned changes, the new Ola S1 X maintains a resemblance to the S1 Air. However, it features a greater amount of unpainted black plastics than the S1 Air.
- Compare to the S1 Air, it also misses out on the touchscreen TFT display. Instead, it gets a cost-effective LCD display.
Battery, Range, and More
- Similar to the S1 Air, the 3kWh variants of the S1 X also get a 4.5kW hub motor that claims a top speed of 90 kmph. It can do the 0-40 kmph sprint in just 3.3 seconds and claim a range of 151km.
- The base model with the 2kWh battery pack claims a top speed of 85 kmph and a certified range of 91 km. It can do 0-40 kmph in 4.1 seconds.

- The e-scooter also boasts a number of improvements over its previous version. It now makes 5kW and goes up to 11kW at its strongest from the earlier output of 5.5kW continuous and 8.5kW of peak output.
- As a result, it now claims a top speed of 120 kmph from the previous 116 kmph. The acceleration time has also dropped from 2.9 seconds to 2.6 seconds.
