Ola Electric S1 Air 2022-2025

In terms of design, the S1 Air looks almost the same as its bigger sibling i.e. the S1 Pro. However, there are a few noticeable changes to it. As it has been designed for affordability, it gets a flat footboard. Additionally, it gets black coloured side & tail panels, and a tubular pillion grab rail. Otherwise, the rest of the scooter is similar and gets the same dimensions and size as the S1 Pro.

To keep its cost low, the S1 Air gets fewer features when compared to the top-spec S1 Pro. However, it still gets some good to have features like a 7-inch touchscreen TFT display, Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G connectivity, GPS, Hill Hold Assist, reverse mode, & MoveOS 3. Additionally, it also gets a proximity lock/unlock feature and multiple riding modes. Ola S1 Air also comes with LED lighting but the brakes on both wheels are drum brakes. An octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM powers the touchscreen system in S1 Air.

While it is based on the S1 Pro itself, it gets a different suspension unit. Unlike the S1 Pro, it gets conventional telescopic forks at the front. The spring-type suspension at the rear is also different. Additionally, the footboard is also flat in design. Another noticeable change is the use of drum brakes on both wheels. Due to these changes, the kerb weight of S1 Air is also less. It weighs only 99 kg which helps in increasing its riding range. It is 26 kg lighter than the S1 Pro.

Ola has equipped the S1 Air with a 2.5 kWh battery pack. This battery generates a peak power output of 6 hp with the help of a 4.5 kW electric motor. However, this might look less on paper but the S1 Air does 0-40 km/h in a claimed 4.3 seconds. Additionally, the top speed of the S1 Air stands at 85 km/h. The riding range on a completely charged battery is 101 km. Hence, the cost-cutting has not affected the long-distance capabilities of the S1 Air. To charge its battery from 0-100 percent, the scooter takes a claimed time of 4 hours and 30 minutes.
