The much-anticipated Ola scooter sale is now live. The company had earlier informed that their electric scooters, S1 and S1 Pro, will begin sales from September 8, a day before World Electric Vehicle Day. Unveiled on August 15, the scooter had raised many eyebrows with its pricing and features. 

Ola first opened the pre-booking for the scooters on July 15 and later launched the model a month later, on August 15. The company has now informed that the sale is finally live and the scooters, which is currently being sold online, will be home delivered by October. According to the Ola website, “the purchase window for the Ola S1 opens on September 8 for anyone with a reservation. Purchasing early gets you priority delivery. Also, the window stays open only until stocks last.” According to the company, the scooters are being delivered in batches and will be delivered on priority based on the dates of reservation. Meanwhile, customers will be able to cancel their orders until the scooter is shipped for delivery.

Ola scooter finance option

The company had earlier fixed the prices of Ola S at Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom) and Ola S1 at Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom) for the S1 Pro.  However, the final pricing will differ in each state depending on the FAME II subsidy (the subsidy provided by the Centre for faster adoption and manufacturing of electric vehicles in India) and state subsidies. In most cases, the customer may have to pay less as the final price due to the subsidies.

Ola holds tie-ups with financial institutions like Bank of Baroda, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, IndusInd Bank, AU Small Finance Bank, Jana Small Finance Bank, Kotak Mahindra Prime, TATA Capital and Yes Bank. These lenders will provide easy loans to finance the scooters. Ola Electric said in a statement on Tuesday, September 7, informed that the equated monthly installments (EMIs) for S1 scooters will start from Rs 2,999 per month while the S1 Pro will begin from Rs 3,199.
