Things you Need to know about Ola Electric Scooter
Based on Etergo AppScooter & Made in Ola FutureFactory
Many of you might be thinking that Ola Electric is a new company, so they don’t have EV experience. You are wrong. In fact, OLA ELECTRIC has acquired Dutch company ETERGO which was already making electric scooters. The Etergo AppScooter is a very popular vehicle in the European markets. This does not mean that this scooter will import.
The Ola E-Scooter will be a completely made in India product. Olaelectric will manufacture it at its 500-acre plant in Tamil Nadu. The company says that this plant can produce up to 10 million scooters every year. There are 3000+ robots with AI driving continuous optimization and 10 production lines that are capable of making scooters in just 2 seconds.
Up to 150Km Range and 100kmph+ Top Speed
According to leaks and rumours, the upcoming electric scooter from Ola is likely to offer a range of up to 150km on a full charge. If this turns out to be true, the Ola scooter will become the scooter with the most range in its segment. Because at present the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube are the only popular e-scooters in this segment with a range of 75km to 95km.
The latest reports suggest that the Ola scooter will be able to accelerate from 0 to 45 kmph in 3.9 seconds and reach a maximum speed of over 100 kmph. With this speed, it will become the fastest e-scooter in the country. However, no information related to its powertrain and motor has been revealed yet.
Biggest boot space in its Segment
Ola Electric is claiming that their upcoming scooter will have the largest boot space in the segment. The new teaser released by the company shows that you can keep two full-size helmets in its boot space. The Etergo scooter comes with a swappable battery which gives you more boot space in that scooter. But the Scooter manufacturing in India is likely to have a fixed battery setup to give a better range. It is certain that it will have enough space to hold two helmets at once.
Ola Electric Scooter Colour Options, Variants
In the latest teaser, Ola Electric has shared different colour shades of its new scooter. Consumers will have the option to choose from 10 colours including white, black, grey, dark blue, dark grey, cyan, yellow, pink, beige and red.
