The unveiling of these electric marvels, including the S1X+, S1X 2kWh, and S1X 3kWh models, transpired at a high-profile Ola Event that garnered significant attention.
The Resurgent S1 Pro 2nd Gen
Central to this electric extravaganza is the revamped S1 Pro 2nd gen, a sophisticated e-scooter that boasts remarkable upgrades in performance and efficiency. With a genuine range of up to 170km and an ARAI-tested range of up to 195km, the S1 Pro 2nd gen shatters barriers in long-range electric mobility. Bolstering its credentials further, this e-scooter surges to a top speed of 120km/h, accelerating from 0 to 40km/h in a mere 2.6 seconds, a feat previously accomplished by its predecessor in 2.9 seconds.
Elevating Performance through Innovation
Peeling back the layers of innovation, the S1 Pro 2nd gen introduces a groundbreaking integration of its motor control unit within its motor. This ingenious amalgamation streamlines the architecture, reducing the component count from five to one.
