OLA S1 Pro vs Simple One Electric Scooter
India’s premium electric motorcycle space won two strong competitors last week on the Ola S1 and Simple One. Both are called powerful because of their advanced features, excellent performance and long distances. In fact, Simple One claims to offer the longest distance of any electric scooter in the world. Interestingly, these two scooters are competitively priced. The Ola S1 base model costs 1 lark, but the top-end S1 Pro is 1.3 times more expensive. Here is the difference between OLA S1 Pro vs Simple One.
On the other hand, the price of Simple One is 11,000 rupees. All of these prices are in front of the showroom and can be further reduced with government subsidies. But what if you are planning to buy a new electric scooter? Do I need to buy a Simple One (assuming I’m in the 13 states where this scooter is first available), or is the Ola S1 Pro better suited? Let’s find out.
Ola S1 Pro and Simple One: Practicality
The Ola S1 Pro offers 36 liters of space compared to 30 liters under the Simple One seat. This makes the Ola scooter a bit wider and more practical than the Simple One. However, the Simple One is lighter (110 kg of curb) than the Ola S1 Pro, which weighs 125 kg (curb). This makes SimpleOne a little easier to use than the Ola S1 Pro.
