Ola S1, Gig Electric Scooter Deliveries Delayed While Roadster Reaches Dealerships

Ola Electric introduced the S1Z and Gig electric scooters as the most affordable models of its range in November 2024. At the time, the brand announced that the deliveries of the scooter would be initiated in the coming months. However, the brand has now announced that the two new additions to its EV portfolio will be delayed. The announcement comes at a time when the manufacturer is facing tough competition from legacy brands like Bajaj Auto and TVS Motors.

The brand also mentioned that the launch of some new products will be delayed and will be scheduled in a sequential order. Presently, the brand has directed all its focus on the Roadster motorcycle, which is out for deliveries in the market. The manufacturer will also focus on advancing the platform through generational upgrades.
