Ola, the famous two-wheeler electric scooter manufacturer company, is going to bring a cheap electric scooter. Bhavish Agrawal, CEO of Ola, informed us about the new scooter through a tweet.
The company is currently selling scooters worth INR 1 lakh and scooters worth INR 140,000. According to CEO Agarwal, targeting this festive season, the company will launch a new scooter on October 22. He has given any other information about its upcoming scooter.
However, seeing his Twitter hint, we can confirm that it is going to be a cheap and affordable scooter.
The business of Ola, which has gained a lot of attention, has been on a massive decline for the past few months. Keeping this in mind, the company is selling the current scooters at a huge discount.
In terms of monthly sales, Ola lost 5 first positions and dropped out of the Top 5 Best Selling Electric Scooters in India.
Ola will bring a new scooter with fewer features compared to the currently available S1.
Compared to Ola S1 Pro, the price and features of the S1 are also lower. It can be assumed that the company will launch a new scooter for INR 80,000 targeting low-budget customers.
