Ola S1 Air

Quick review

Design

Gets the same overall look as the S1 Pro
But comes in dual-tone colours thanks to black plastic panels on the lower half of the body. 

 

Features

7-inch TFT touchscreen is carried over, with most of the features from S1 Pro. 
These include music playback, moods, riding modes, cruise control and proximity unlock. 

 

Performance

A very familiar affair. The performance is strong and this is still one of the quickest e-scooters on the market – most people really won’t need much more.

 

Charging and range

Claimed range of 125km in Eco mode, 100km in Normal mode and 87km in Sport mode - 2.98kWh battery.
Home charging times are quoted at 3.8 hrs for 0-80% and 5 hrs to full.

 

Ride comfort

We only got a short ride around Ola’s factory where roads are quite excellent. Still, the suspension comfort is quite nice and it does seem like an improvement over the S1 Pro

 

Quality and finish

Fit, finish needs to improve
Different scooters had uneven panel gaps 
Welds on the new grab handles look quite basic
The scooter is also not entirely bug-free

 

Verdict

7/10

We like
Zippy performance
Gets most of the S1 Pro's features

 

We don't like
