Ola Electric has pulled a rabbit out of the hat by launching two new series of affordable electric scooters– Gig and S1 Z. The biggest surprise, however, is the brand’s first removable battery pack which company CEO and Co-founder, Bhavish Aggarwal had teased a couple of days ago. That said, what will blow everyone’s mind is the extraordinary price tag of the scooters.
Prices for the Gig range start at Rs 39,999 while the S1 Z range starts at Rs 59,999 (both ex-showroom), making them the most affordable electric scooters in their respective segments. The Gig range is available in two variants: Gig and Gig+ whereas the Z range is available in two trims: S1 Z and S1 Z+.
Bookings for all the four models are currently underway via Ola Electric’s website at a token amount of Rs 499. Deliveries of the Ola Gig and Ola S1 Z series will begin starting April 2025, and May 2025, respectively
