Ola S1 Gen 3 Deliveries Begin in November — S1 Z from ₹79,999, Pro Sports at ₹1.49 Lakh

Gen 3 Arrives in November

Ola Electric's website is now listing its S1 third-generation scooter portfolio with deliveries from November 2026, giving buyers a clearer timeline for the refreshed range. The entry point is the S1 Z line, listed from ₹79,999 ex-showroom, while the higher-performance S1 Pro Sports Gen 3 is shown from ₹1,49,999. Other models in the Gen 3 menu include the S1 X+ from ₹1,20,999 and the S1 Pro+ from ₹1,58,371.

That span covers a wide band, from the most affordable Ola to premium variants, and it is a deliberate strategy to keep the brand present across the price points where Indian electric scooter demand is concentrated.

What Gen 3 Emphasises

Ola's Gen 3 material highlights larger battery options on selected models, including references to 5.2kWh and 4kWh packs, and repeats a family claim of up to 320km of IDC range depending on model and riding mode. IDC range is a test-cycle figure, and real-world range in city traffic or on highways will be lower, something Ola itself notes in its disclaimers.

Read the ₹79,999 Carefully

The headline ₹79,999 is tied to the S1 Z entry and is ex-showroom, so on-road prices will add registration and insurance. Buyers should also confirm whether the November delivery unit is a standard retail scooter or tied to any subscription or battery programme, and check what the ex-showroom figure includes, such as the home charger and its installation.

What This Means for You

With deliveries only weeks away, this is a reasonable window to buy a current-generation Ola rather than older stock. Before paying, freeze the battery pack size, colour and software configuration on the order form, and ask for the expected November dispatch week in writing. Compare the S1 range against Ather, TVS and Ampere on our Compare page, and estimate your running cost on the EV calculator.
