Get a good high end Electric Bicycle.  50 year you will thank the current you.   
    
 If you are dead stuck on the bike:  I'd choose the 450X over the S1.

I did went to explore 450x..the range and speed didn't justify the price..and ola looked much better than ather for sure.

Planning to buy Ola S1 Air.
Great if some customers could give reviews.
Any other brand users can chip in too.

Using this for the past few weeks. Amazing product at this price - extremely smooth and no issues at all. 

Why is Ola getting so much hate if the product is good?

Operations Manager

Hello, 
I am planning to buy an electric scooter. Could you please provide your reviews if you are using one of these models?

Anything else that could be considered?

Thanks in advance!

All I can hear is negative reviews about OLA scooters , even their social handles are bombarded with problems . Have any of you guys faced any issues or do you think it's a defamation act by ops???

What he is not telling that, at the end of 5-7 years of usage you will need to replace your whole battery which will cost 60% of the scooter value.

Why do founders lie?

Woah. That’s a big one.

With all these EVs catching fire and Ola not being able to turn a profit, Im curious to know if it really is a solid company or just an investor-money marketing hype? I mean most of the folks I know open Ola LAST, if Uber/Rapido/Blusmart haven’t worked. Ola E is also facing a lot of flak because its EVs are seeing the highest number of incidents. They’ve also had a string of CXOs come and go.

Are Ola + Ola E good companies? Like I’m curious to know what you guys generally think, even from a job perspective.

(PS, for the sake of transparency, I’m a journalist [you can drop me any scoops/leads at backgroundsources@proton.me] but this question has nothing to do with work — i’m seriously, genuinely curious about Ola and Ola Electric and Bhavish Aggarwal. Very few Ola folks speak about the internal goings on at the company)

Are Ola & Ola E good companies?

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏
