The scooter details are still sketchy, it may have a maximum range of up to 250 kilometers per charge, possibly at lower speeds, with practical range around 75-80 kilometers per charge. The scooter could deliver 6 kilowatts of peak output and continuous output of around 3 kilowatts.
The design of the scooter is believed to be based on Appscooter, developed by Dutch company Etergo, which was acquired in 2019.
Ola would deliver a home charger along with the scooter which would be compatible with existing electrical fittings and may be priced at around Rs 100,000-120,000.
