Ola Electric plans to expand EV offerings in India, targeting B2B with new single-seater scooter, emphasizing functionality and affordability.

Ola Electric has been working hard to increase the popularity of electric mobility in India.

The brand intends to expand its line of electric vehicles (EVs) by introducing rental services in addition to new EVs for personal use. It appears the company wants to make a major push into the B2B market.

A new single-seater electric scooter from Ola Electric is anticipated to make its way into the commercial market. The design patent has been leaked online, as reported by Motorbeam. The company’s S1 e-scooter lineup, which was aimed at the private consumer market and helped it gain popularity, seems to place more of an emphasis on functionality than aesthetics, making it suitable for commercial use.

Pricing-wise, the new scooter with a focus on business is anticipated to be significantly less expensive than the S1 X lineup, which has a starting price of Rs 89,999 (ex-showroom). Businesses and delivery services looking for affordable electric mobility solutions may find it appealing due to its competitive pricing strategy.

Ola Electric’s New Single-Seater Scooter: Details Here

The upcoming Ola e-scooter has a simple design, with only a small front apron and covered panels under the seat. It is expected to have a single seat, with the option of an additional pillion seat. A luggage rack behind the saddle indicates a focus on utility for carrying goods, which increases its appeal for commercial applications.

The scooter is likely to have basic underpinnings, such as a wishbone-style front fork, twin rear shock absorbers, and drum brakes on both ends. The wheels are similar to those found on the existing S1 Air and S1 X models, which could indicate that they share components. With a flat floorboard, the scooter’s payload capacity is expected to increase, making it more suitable for commercial use.

The handlebars are simple in design, with a small digital dash mounted directly on them. While there is speculation about the possibility of swappable batteries, Ola Electric is yet to provide an official confirmation. Although not confirmed, this feature could be a strategic move to improve the scooter’s usability and convenience.

With a focus on efficiency and pragmatism, Ola Electric may be able to reach a wider market niche and meet the various demands of last-mile connectivity providers and business customers. Ola has not revealed any details about this product yet, we can expect its official debut later this year or in early 2025.
