      The Ola S1 is a tech-rich electric scooter with good range, storage, and performance for city use. However, its build quality, service support, and the gap between claimed and real-world range limit its appeal compared to some rivals.

      Ola is the best choice for food and product delivery. The storage space is big, it gives around 100 km per charge, and it is very easy to drive. There are no issues in the rain, and the app features are also very good.
