Ola Electric has once again revolutionized the electric scooter market with the launch of the all-new Ola S1 Pro Gen 3. This latest iteration introduces significant performance upgrades, improved efficiencyand advanced technology compared to its predecessor, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2. The new model boasts an enhanced drivetrain, a more powerful powertrainand cutting-edge braking technologymaking it one of the most refined and efficient electric scooters on the market.
Let’s dive into the key upgrades and new features that set the Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 apart from the competition.
Gen 3 Platform Introduces Chain Drive for Better Efficiency
One of the most notable improvements in the Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 is the transition from a belt-driven system to a chain-drive mechanism. This shift brings several advantages, including:
4% increase in energy efficiencyleading to longer range and improved performance. 7% boost in accelerationensuring a quicker and more responsive ride. Twice the lifespan compared to belt drives, making the new drivetrain more durable and cost-effective. Higher torque outputallowing for better pick-up and overall performance.
Ola also assures users that despite the change to a chain drive, the noise levels will remain the same as the belt-driven system, ensuring a smooth and quiet riding experience.
Gen 3 Platform’s New Powertrain: More Power, More Reliability
The Ola S1 Pro Gen 3 is now powered by an advanced mid-drive electric motorreplacing the previous hub motor. This significant upgrade brings four times more energy efficiency and is five times more reliablemaking it a high-performance and long-lasting choice for electric scooter enthusiasts.
Additionally, the new motor now integrates an MCU (Motor Control Unit)enhancing overall efficiency and real-time performance adjustments, ensuring a smoother ride with better energy management.
Advanced Brake-By-Wire Technology for Safer and More Efficient Braking
Ola has introduced brake-by-wire technology across all Gen 3 platform vehicles, redefining braking performance and efficiency. The key benefits of this new system include:
Single-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as standardimproving safety and control. Dual-channel ABS on select modelsoffering superior stability and braking efficiency. Brake regeneration technologyincreasing the scooter’s range by 18% by converting kinetic energy into battery power. Extended brake pad lifespanensuring lower maintenance costs and more reliability.
With this advanced braking system, riders will experience superior stopping powersmoother deceleration, and improved ride efficiency.
