Ola launches S1 Pro Sport with 320 km range, cuts flagship prices using indigenous Bharat Cell and ferrite motor innovations.
Ola Electric has taken a significant leap in the electric mobility market by unveiling its high-performance S1 Pro Sport scooter while also cutting prices on its existing premium models. The announcement, made at the company’s Sankalp event on August 15, 2025, highlights Ola’s focus on innovation, affordability, and self-reliance through its newly developed 4680 Bharat Cell battery and rare-earth-free ferrite motor technologies.
The spotlight of the event was the launch of the S1 Pro Sport, Ola’s most advanced electric scooter to date. With an ex-showroom price of ₹1.49 lakh, the scooter packs performance and futuristic features that set a new benchmark in the EV two-wheeler segment.
Key highlights include:
320 km range on a single charge with the 5.2 kWh Bharat Cell battery
Top speed of 152 km/h
0–40 km/h acceleration in just 2 seconds
13 kW ferrite motor (peaking at 16 kW and 71 Nm torque)
The scooter also includes ADAS safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, collision warnings, and a front-facing camera that doubles as a dashcam. Its sporty design—carbon-fiber fender, aerodynamic windscreen, LED lighting, and aggressive styling—emphasizes its performance DNA.
Bookings: Open now with ₹999 refundable deposit
Deliveries: Begin January 2026
Alongside the new launch, Ola announced price reductions for its flagship models:
S1 Pro+ (5.2 kWh): Price reduced by ₹30,000 → Now ₹1,69,999
Roadster X+ (9.1 kWh): Price reduced by ₹35,000 → Now ₹1,89,999
These reductions are enabled by homegrown technologies, lowering manufacturing costs and reducing dependence on imports.
Ola’s Gen-3 initiative is anchored in two innovations:
4680 Bharat Cell – Designed in India, it charges to 80% in ~15 minutes, has a 15-year lifespan, and offers 5x capacity of conventional cells.
Ferrite Motor – Eliminates rare-earth magnets, reducing costs and insulating Ola from global supply chain disruptions, while pushing India toward self-reliant EV tech.
Together, these innovations cut prices and enhance performance across Ola’s lineup.
The latest MoveOS 6 upgrade improves the EV experience with:
Multilingual voice assistant
Adaptive cruise control
Predictive maintenance alerts
Battery health optimization
Collision warning & blind-spot detection
Rollout begins in early 2026 for new and existing Ola scooter owners.
Ola also teased the Diamondhead electric superbike, expected by mid-2027 with:
0–100 km/h in just 2 seconds
Advanced self-driving & ADAS
Futuristic design
Target price: under ₹5 lakh
This marks Ola’s entry into the premium electric motorcycle market.
India’s EV market is heating up with strong competition. Ola, once holding one-third of the e-scooter market, now faces rivals from startups and legacy brands.
By investing in in-house tech, vertical integration, and cost efficiency, Ola is strengthening leadership while boosting affordability and reducing import reliance.
The launch of the S1 Pro Sport and price cuts on flagship scooters mark a turning point in India’s EV journey. With innovations like the 4680 Bharat Cell, ferrite motor, and MoveOS 6, Ola Electric is reinforcing its vision of world-class, Made-in-India EVs.
As deliveries begin in 2026 and the Diamondhead motorcycle approaches, Ola is positioning itself as a pioneer of India’s electrified future.
