Shares of Ola Electric Mobility Ltd. surged over 14% after the company unveiled the third generation of its once best-selling scooters. The company plans to reclaim the numero uno position in India’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler market.

Ola has launched its Gen 3 electric scooters, available in four models: S1 X, S1 X+, S1 Pro, and S1 Pro+. The scooters feature several segment-first innovations, including dual-channel ABS and patented “brake-by-wire” technology, developed by Chief Executive Officer Bhavish Aggarwal. The Gen 3 models also replace the previous hub motor with a mid-mounted motor and switch from a belt drive to a traditional chain drive.

The top-end S1 Pro+ is India’s first electric scooter powered by an in-house battery, the ‘4680 Bharat Cell', manufactured at Ola’s Tamil Nadu Gigafactory. With a 13 kW rating, it offers a claimed range of 320 km on a single charge.

Prices for the new scooters range from Rs 79,999 to Rs 1,69,999 (ex-showroom Bengaluru), with deliveries starting in mid-February. Ola will continue selling its Gen 2 scooters at prices between Rs 69,999 and Rs 1,14,999.
