Ola SOLO

Yesterday, Ola annouced Ola SOLO, which seemed like a April fools joke.

Then today they released this video.

What do you think?

Here is Bhavish’s word-

Not just an April fools joke!

We announced Ola Solo yesterday. It went viral and many people debated whether it’s real or an April fools joke!

While the video was meant to provide a laugh to people, the technology behind it is something we’ve been working on and have prototyped. It shows the kind of pioneering work our engineering teams are capable of.

Ola Solo is a glimpse into the future of mobility and our engineering teams are working on autonomous and self-balancing tech in two wheelers which you’ll see if future products from us.

Seems more like a self balancing prototype being handled via RC. As you don’t see any RT surrounding mapping hardware onboard.

If I recollect correctly there was a company presenting its prototype self balancing feature for their e-scooter as well during auto expo ‘23.

Edit : Found this from them the reverse mode with self balancing seems similar.

That is impressive, combining self-balancing and AI, I Know for now its RC but truth to be told they are advacing at a rocket speed compared to here at a snail speed.

Now I really want to know is if it can be placed remotely so that it’s battery pack can catch on fire later?

Self-balancing on a slower speed controlled e-bike(mostly for teenagers, elderly or people who need aid) with less concern about range could be done. Self-balancing acts counterintuitive to the style of riding most are used to while adding extra weight and power draw to the system decreasing the range.

Maybe Ola Solo can be featured in the next James Bond Movie. That’s the only place where this technology might be useful

If Ather had this kind of portfolio, or announced this kind of portfolio and their software support would’ve been like this, I’m sure 1000%, no one can even compete with Ather.

The thing that I’m not able to understand is how OLA is able to give such huge battery capacity vehicles for attractive prices.

16KWh Roadster Pro for 2.5L for example.

But still, I love Ather. :heart::grin:

@chef.arun7 if you look at tata curvv ev they are offering 10kwh more in 70k even though 55kwh version uses new prismatic cells not the mass produced ones

so OLA could give 8kwh in 50k next year the way prices of batteries are declining

I noticed that but How come we compare a Car with 2W Bro

Lets See, Already We all know whats Ola Electric is.

Once again we will see :see_no_evil:

That’s soo very true I also read somewhere that Karnataka found white gold (lithium) It’s very possible but R&D should be very very through it will definitely create some compitition that’s for sure

whole industry uses same 2170 cells from scooter to trucks except few like tata with new prismatic cells or BYD Blade battery so you can compare 2w with a car it wont make much difference

that will take alot of time from mining to actual product,this price drop is from whole supply chain
