Ola Electric has pushed back the delivery schedule for the first batch of their electric scooters. Deliveries of the scooter will now commence in the second-half of December.
Ola has informed buyers about the delay through mails.
The delay is attributed to a global chip shortage, and the earliest delivery window for the scooters is now between December 15 to 31. Deliveries were originally supposed to commence during the October-November period.
Meanwhile, the company continues to expand its test ride operations and is aiming for 1,000 cities by December 15.
Ola Electric scooter is available in two variants — S1 and S1 Pro with the latter getting a larger battery pack, higher top speed and more equipment.
Power comes from an electric motor which produces a peak power output of 8.5kW and 58Nm. The S1 has a claimed top speed of 90kph, while the S1 Pro will max out at 115kph. Both scooters get fixed batteries, with the S1 getting a 2.98kWh unit and the S1 Pro getting a 3.97kWh battery giving them a claimed range of 121km and 181km, respectively.
