After four months of the official launch, Ola is gearing up to finally commence the deliveries of the Ola S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters in India tomorrow. The new Ola S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters were launched in India on 15th August this year. More than 1 lakh units of these electric scooters were pre-booked in just 24 hours even before its launch. While the deliveries of the first batch were about to take place between October-November, it will now finally begin tomorrow, i.e. on December 15, 2021.

Recently, Bhavish Aggarwal, CEO – Ola Electric, posted a video on the social networking site Twitter with the caption ‘Gaddi nikal chuki!’ The video reveals that the first batch of the Ola S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters have rolled out of the production facility and they are en route for deliveries across the country. According to Ola, the deliveries of electric scooters were delayed due to the shortage of chipsets and electronic parts. Now, as it will finally begin tomorrow, the company will even organise a special delivery event for the first 50 customers in Bengaluru.
