Ola S1 Pro’s front suspension breaks while riding
Ola Electric is once again in the news for the wrong reasons; an S1 Pro recently saw its front suspension break while being ridden
Ola Electric is once again in the news for the wrong reasons; an S1 Pro recently saw its front suspension break while being ridden
Images of an Ola S1 Pro by the side of the road with a broken front suspension have been going viral on the internet. The single front fork has given out completely, and the front apron seems to have been damaged too as a consequence. It doesn’t seem like the rider or anyone else was harmed during the incident, but we cannot confirm at the moment.
The actual reason behind this glitch is yet to reveal. However, there are two possibilities surrounding this event. While some are saying that the scooter faced a head-on collision with a rock, which led to the frontal part being damaged completely, another reason states that the frontal part of the scooter broke on its own while the owner of the scooter was riding it in a busy road. Both Ola Electric and the scooter owner are yet to give their official statements regarding this incident.
While the frontal part of the scooter looks badly damaged, it is nothing beyond repair and needs just a significant repairing job. However, if the scooter breaking out on its own is the actual reason, it will raise many questions about the S1 Pro, which is already plagued with several build quality and technical issues.

Ola S1 Pro Guwahati accident: Ola alleges the victim was overspeeding and braked in panic, leading to the accident
Ola S1 Pro, the first electric scooter from Ola, has been under fire – quite literally – for several fires and other incidents involving the scooter. Now, the company has come back with an investigation report into the Ola S1 Pro Guwahati incident.
According to the findings of Ola’s investigation, the victim was apparently ‘overspeeding’ and ‘braked in panic’, leading to the accident.
The company revealed its findings in a statement on Twitter, highlighting that the victim had been overspeeding for nearly 30 minutes, touching a top speed of 115 kilometres per hour (kmph). It is worth pointing out that this is the top rated speed of the Ola S1 Pro.

Maharashtra Man Ties Ola Scooter To Donkey, Parades It Around Town. Here's Why
After receiving no satisfactory response from Ola when his electric scooter shut down just a few days after he bought it, a man from Maharashtra held a one-of-its-kind protest. Sachin Gitte, from Beed district, tied a donkey to the two-wheeler and paraded it around town with posters and banners urging people not to trust the company.
The two-wheeler stopped working barely six days after Mr Gitte bought it, according to a report in ABP News. After he contacted the company, an Ola mechanic checked his scooter. However, nobody came to fix it, states the report. Mr Gitte also made many calls to the customer service but it only resulted in ambiguous responses instead of a specific remedy.

Another Ola scooter goes into reverse mode in full speed, leaves rider severely injured
Can a simple act of parking a scooter end up in a major accident? Unfortunately, an Ola did.
In the third instance of the S1 Pro scooter suffering from software bugs, a 65-year-old man, the father of the owner, was severely injured when the scooter reversed at a speed in excess of 50 kph. He was merely trying to park the vehicle.
The incident came to light on Wednesday when the owner Pallav Maheshwari shared it on a LinkedIn post blaming it on the scooter’s software.
Maheshwari told ET Auto that he has been facing similar issues with the scooter from the second day of the delivery. However, the problem did not persist and the customer did not pay much attention to it. However, Ola Electric recently fixed the vehicle control unit or VCU recently but they did not fix the software glitches.

Ola launches MoveOS 2 for Ola S1 Pro users
Ola Electric has launched MoveOS 2 for over 50,000 of its customers of the Ola S1 Pro electric scooter. The software update is available for the users as an OTA (Over-The-Air) update, and unlocks all the features of the electric scooter which it was shipped with, but were inaccessible initially. The MoveOS 2 also promises bug fixes which caused range drop and battery discharge, but it remains to be tested if all the notorious bugs in the electric scooter have been addressed.
The MoveOS 2 app lets the owners access their scooters remotely via their smartphones, enabling access to vehicle metrics such as charge status, range across its multiple modes, odometer reading etc. The app can also be used to remotely lock and unlock the scooter, or to open its boot. The OS update also allows users the access to the scooter's built-in speakers, and the users can pair their smartphones via bluetooth to play music on them. The update also unlocks features like cruise control and turn-by-turn navigation, but the latter may need owners to install a separate GPS antenna for smoother navigation, Ola says.
