Along with this, the new Pro+ variant with the 5.3kWh battery pack uses indigenously developed Bharat cell. This new cell is a lot more energy dense than the ones that are already used on other Ola scooters. Overall, the claimed ranges sound impressive and will definitely go a long way in reducing range anxiety.

New Motor & Transmission 

Now all the scooters in the lineup get a mid-mounted motor setup, with a chain drive transmission. The new chain drive transmission has also got specially lubricated o-rings which have helped in improving efficiency and also in reducing the overall noise levels.

With the new motor and transmission, the brand claims this has helped in improving the scooter’s performance overall. Overall, the usage of a chain-drive transmission is a welcome change. Chain drives are a lot more reliable when compared to belt drive transmission and also have a longer life span.

Dual Channel ABS & Brake-By-Wire

On the Ola S1 Pro+, the brand has introduced dual-channel ABS, which will improve the overall safety when riding by preventing the wheels from locking up under hard braking.

Another interesting new feature is the addition of a brake-by-wire system. This system dynamically modulates braking type, between regen and mechanical. This goes a long way in helping preserve the brake pads while at the same time improving braking performance.

More Efficient Electronics Package

The brand has also made some changes to the electronic package. This includes the reduction of the number of integrated boards that are used to offer the scooter’s features. The second generation S1 lineup had 3 integrated boards. Gen 3 has reduced this to just one. This will reduce the overall number of parts, thus improving reliability and performance, while also reducing the overall cost. Overall, with this generation 3 update, the Ola S1 lineup looks quite good and has gotten a much needed improvement in terms of features and performance.
