Ola Electric also introduced the second generation S1Pro priced at Rs. 1,47,499 (ex-showroom). While it can be booked immediately, deliveries will start from mid-September.

With the launch of the new scooters, Ola Electric's portfolio comprises S1X (2khw), S1X, S1X+, S1Air and S1 Pro priced between Rs. 89,999 and Rs. 1.47 lakh.

Ola Electric also showcased its four electric motorcycles -- Diamondhead, Adventure, Roadster and Cruiser -- at the event.

"I am also thrilled to announce the global debut of Ola's electric motorcycles that will be launched towards the end of 2024. Designed and engineered in-house, these motorcycles represent Ola's leap into the future of motorcycling," Aggarwal said.

These bikes will be built in India for the world, he added.
