This service model is good when you have a few scooters not when you plan to have 1000’s of them.

Yup, OLA is intending to sell Million units of them, how will this model survive.

Kochi EC has sold around 750 units including those (waaay) beyond city limits. Say there are 350 units in the city, and still it takes a day or two of queue to get service. Ola should have something in store or it will be pita for all.

Btw, i think Ather had plans like this during inception, but quickly rethought.

OLA range test by No Gyan

Thats such a nice range (~150 kms) at speeds of ~30-35 kms/hr. :heart::fire:. Ola has surely challenged the other auto makers. Things will get better from here for us. Cool :ok_hand::ok_hand:

Yup just finished watching this video … Man I got tired seeing the video only :rofl:, too much hardwork. But yes, range calibration definitely needs to be improved. Agreed that ola definitely gives better range than Ather, but Ather if it says 80km on full charge, it is more or less close to 80km. But having a difference of 20km isn’t acceptable

Many of us have also extracted more than committed range from Ather, reaching above 90 kilometers, in this case his weight is just 68 kg.

But if you see last 15% of battery is not at all reliable in OLA, as in this case also he is able to go just 5-6 KMs only as per my observation in this video.

Correct, last 15 percentage can simply be put up as 5 percentage

If Ather increases the battery to 4kwh and retain the same motor then it will be a great deal…

No Doubt Ather is expensive, even though we are paying the more upfront we need to pay for the yearly subscriptions as well, which is excluding what we paid upfront. OLA is giving what ever Ather is giving plus better range and top speed with much lesser than Ather is currently offering. Yes OLA has some issues now, i am sure eventually it will be addressed, Ather has to act before that and bring in some value addition for the premium we are paying. if the niggles what OLA is currently having if they are fixed, I dont know why people will go for Ather instead of OLA

Not exactly… we are still waiting for a lot many software features they promised/ teased during the launch. Software is where Ather messed up big time. Let’s wait and see how Ola performs here… :blush:

Nostalgic. We also heard the same that regen level will be increased once customers gets used to regen and riding EV.

It’s our problem. We are not getting used to it after 3 years also :slight_smile:

I thought there is no-regen in OLA, and only has a motor cut-off feature when brakes are applied. I’m missing something, Still, clear specs are not out, What brand Motor it has, What cells are they using Li-Ion or LIPO, What platform of voltage it uses, Is it BLDC or PMSM motor, what cooling it has? what are the service costs?
