India’s electric scooter segment is booming and Ola Electric continues to lead the revolution. In 2025, the company has launched an even more accessible and efficient product, the Ola S1X, aimed at providing high range, style, and advanced features at a price that suits middle-class families and daily commuters.
This electric scooter promises a real-world range of over 220 kilometers, a refined riding experience, and a bold design all while being one of the most affordable EVs in the country. If you’re someone considering switching from petrol to electric, or simply upgrading to a smart urban ride, the Ola S1X could be the perfect option.
Let’s explore every detail of this budget-friendly electric scooter that’s quickly becoming the talk of the town.
Aggressive Yet Friendly Design for Urban Riders
The Ola S1X has been designed with simplicity and sportiness in mind. While it doesn’t go overboard with styling, it still manages to look modern and premium. The front profile features a twin-pod LED headlamp setup embedded within a sleek housing that feels futuristic yet minimal.
The side panels are clean and flow smoothly toward the rear, with neatly integrated grab rails, stylish tail lamps, and flushed bodywork. Its balanced proportions make it suitable for both male and female riders, and its multiple vibrant color options allow users to choose a style that matches their personality.
It may be a budget variant, but it doesn’t look like one. Ola has made sure that the S1X feels premium and confident on the road.
Powerful Performance with Instant Acceleration
Under the stylish exterior lies a refined hub-mounted electric motor capable of delivering quick acceleration, smooth power delivery, and an almost silent ride. The Ola S1X comes with a 2kWh or 3kWh motor option, depending on the variant you choose.
The top variant of the Ola S1X delivers a top speed of 90 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 40 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, making it perfect for zipping through traffic or overtaking easily during urban commutes.
Thanks to its electric nature, the power delivery is instant and smooth, with no vibrations or gear lag. Whether you are riding alone or carrying a pillion, the motor performs with confidence.
Massive Range of Up to 220KM Per Charge
One of the key highlights of the Ola S1X 2025 is its claimed riding range of up to 220 km on a single full charge in the top-end variant. This is made possible through a 4kWh battery pack which is now more energy-dense and efficient.
Even the base variants, with smaller battery packs, offer 91 to 151 km of real-world range, which is still excellent for daily commutes. You can easily expect 3–5 days of commuting on a single charge, depending on your usage pattern.
This extended range takes away the biggest fear EV users have — range anxiety. It makes the S1X suitable not just for city rides, but also for small inter-city journeys and rural use.
Convenient Charging Options at Home
Ola provides a portable home charger with every S1X purchase. The larger 4kWh battery takes about 6–7 hours for a full charge using a standard 5A plug. This is ideal for overnight home charging — plug it in before sleeping and wake up to a fully charged scooter.
Additionally, Ola has been expanding its Hypercharger fast-charging network, allowing users to top up their battery at select public locations in just a few minutes.
You don’t need to invest in expensive charging infrastructure — just a regular wall socket and a safe parking space are enough to own and use the Ola S1X.
Digital Dashboard and Smart Features
The Ola S1X comes with a digital LCD instrument console in base variants and a more advanced TFT screen in higher variants. The screen shows speed, battery level, riding mode, remaining range, trip meter, and even navigation prompts (in top trims).
While the base variants lack connected app features, the mid and top-end models offer Bluetooth connectivity, ride tracking, remote lock/unlock, navigation, and software OTA updates.
You can also choose from different riding modes like Eco, Normal, and Sports, allowing you to manage performance and battery usage depending on your route or need.
Comfort, Handling, and Ride Quality
Built on a steel tubular chassis, the S1X offers a stable and confident ride. It comes with telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, which absorb potholes and speed bumps without much discomfort.
The wide seat is long and cushioned, providing enough room for both rider and pillion. Its low seat height and lightweight build make it ideal for female riders and elderly users as well.
The ground clearance of 165 mm ensures it glides over most urban road conditions without any scraping issues.
Safety and Braking
Ola hasn’t cut corners on safety. The S1X features drum brakes on both wheels for progressive and controlled braking. In higher variants, Ola offers CBS (Combined Braking System), which improves brake balance and shortens stopping distance.
For visibility, the scooter includes LED tail lamps, indicators, and daytime running lights, ensuring you remain visible even during low-light rides.
The body panels are made from impact-resistant material to handle light collisions or urban knocks gracefully.
Boot Space and Utility
Under the seat, Ola provides a 34-litre boot — one of the largest in its segment. It’s enough to store a full-size helmet, groceries, tiffin boxes, or a laptop bag.
There’s also a front hook to hang light bags, along with footrests for the pillion and a flat floorboard for carrying extra cargo.
These touches make the Ola S1X not only stylish and fast, but also a practical family-friendly scooter.
Pricing and EMI Options
Ola has aggressively priced the S1X to make electric mobility available to the masses. The base model with 2kWh battery starts at ₹79,999, mid variant at ₹89,999, and the top-end 4kWh Long Range model is priced at around ₹99,999 (ex-showroom).
For those looking for EMI options, here’s a quick breakdown:
| Variant | Down Payment | Loan Amount | EMI (48 months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1X 2kWh | ₹9,000 | ₹70,000 | ₹1,850/month |
| S1X 4kWh | ₹12,000 | ₹85,000 | ₹2,300/month |
These affordable EMI plans make it easier than ever to own an electric vehicle without stressing your monthly budget.
Final Verdict: Perfect Urban EV for Everyday India
The Ola S1X 2025 is not just an electric scooter — it’s a smart upgrade for anyone tired of rising petrol prices, high maintenance costs, and daily traffic struggles.
With its 220km range, impressive pickup, digital features, stylish design, and budget-friendly pricing, it’s an ideal scooter for college students, working professionals, delivery riders, and families.
If you’re looking for a reliable, future-ready, and low-cost electric vehicle, the Ola S1X is a ride worth considering.
