Moreover, the second-generation Ola S1 Pro electric scooter adopts a fresh platform that is also utilized by the new Ola S1 Air. This updated platform has transitioned from a tubular frame to a hybrid frame structure. Ola has indicated that this new platform utilizes around 70 percent fewer components, resulting in a 14 percent reduction in weight.
Notably, it now incorporates a double-sided swingarm, departing from the single-sided unit found in the previous model. The rear subframe has undergone revisions to enhance strength and cost efficiency. This redesigned framework facilitates a flat footboard, and the grab handle is now shared with the S1 Air model.
The power output has been enhanced to 11 kW (peaking) or 14.7 bhp, with a continuous power output of 5 kW (6.7 bhp) generated by the mid-drive electric motor.
