Ola Electric Scooter Files Patent Design for New Entry-Level Electric Scooter

New Ola electric scooter design patent leaks before launch

Ola Electric Scooters is anticipated to introduce a new single-seater electric scooter into the commercial market. Though the company’s S1 e-scooter lineup, which was aimed at the private consumer market, helped it gain popularity, this new model seems to prioritize practicality above looks and be more suited for commercial use.

The forthcoming Ola Electric Scooter has a simple, minimalistic appearance with covered panels beneath the seat and a short front apron. With the option for a pillion seat, it is expected to have a single-seat arrangement. The presence of a baggage rack beneath the saddle adds to its commercial appeal by implying a focus on utility for carrying things.

The scooter’s basic suspension probably consists of a wishbone-style front fork, twin rear shock absorbers, and drum brakes on both ends. The wheels are similar to those on the current S1 Air and S1 X versions, which could mean that they share parts. The scooter’s enhanced payload capacity and flat floorboard are expected to significantly improve its potential for commercial use.

The handlebar has a straightforward design with a small digital dash put right on it. Although there have been rumors of swappable batteries, Ola Electric Scooter has not yet offered an official statement on the matter.

Pricing-wise, it is expected that the new scooter with a commercial focus will be significantly less expensive than the S1 X range, which has a starting price of Rs. 89,999/-(ex-showroom). Because of its aggressive pricing policy, it can be a desirable choice for companies and delivery services looking for affordable electric mobility solutions.
