According to Ola Electric, the scooter offers an IDC-certified range of 320 km and a maximum speed of 125 km/h. It is powered by an 11 kW mid-drive motor integrated with an engine control unit (MCU).
The scooter uses Ola Electric’s indigenously developed 4680 Bharat Cell technology, which the company claims offers higher energy density and improved thermal capabilities. The certification marks a broader rollout of battery technology across Ola Electric’s scooter and motorcycle portfolio as the company continues its vertically integrated manufacturing approach spanning cell development, battery pack engineering and vehicle production.
Commenting on the development, an Ola Electric spokesperson said, “The government certification of the S1 X+ 5.2 kWh is an important milestone as we take our in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell technology to the mass market at scale.” The spokesperson added that the product aims to make electric mobility more practical for customers outside large urban centres.
According to the company, the certification followed a validation program that covers vehicle safety, performance and regulatory compliance testing required by CMVR standards. These included functional and construction safety checks, scope validation and other performance parameters assessed by ICAT.
