I bought Ola S1 pro gen 1 in 2023 and it worked fine until Jan this year, when it started to randomly turn off in middle of the road at 20-30% battery.
I visited the service center and they said its a problem in the BMS and it will be replaced. I can take around 2 to 3 months. I said okay and left the vehicle there. Since then, nothing has changed, the scooter is standing there like in a junkyard for more than 3 months, and not a single effort from OLA.

I just wanted to know if there is any way to sell it or sell the parts etc. or any way I can get it repaired as soon as possible.

Whats the major difference between these technologies?

Which is good for long term and less maintenance?

Hello everyone i wanted to know if i should give my scooty for its first servicing its been 1 whole year since i bought it never gave it to service because of all the scary things i have heard about servicing like they break your perfectly functioning scooty etc my scooty has completed just about 3.5k km so should i bother myself with taking it to service centre for my first servicing or wait ?

Please suggest to me any website from where i can buy a brake sensor both left and right,

"Charging may take longer than usual. Check whether charger fan is working. If not; clean gently from outside with soft brush ensuring no damage. If problem persist, visit an authorized service station.

Bajaj Auto Ltd"

I've reserved an Ola Shakti in 2025 October and made a full payment this year January. They said that deliveries have already begun and I haven't received any communication from them regarding it. When I check on the order page it says it's "Processing insurance KYC". Anyone else who has the same issue or have got their Shakti delivery?

Hello everyone,

I own an Ola S1 X+ Gen 1, 3 kWh model, and I wanted to share my situation and get some suggestions from the community.

For the last few months, I have been facing a battery-related issue. The scooter normally charges to around 50%, but after that, it suddenly jumps to 100% within 10 minutes or so. Because of this, I was not confident about the actual battery percentage or the real range.

I recently sent it to the service center, and after checking, they informed me that almost half of the battery pack is damaged/fried, and the BMS also has an issue.

Now I am confused about what to do next. I am considering two options:

1. Sell the scooter as it is, in case anyone is interested in buying it and repairing it.
2. Go for Ola’s exchange program and upgrade to the same variant in Gen 3.

Has anyone faced a similar issue with the Ola S1 X+ Gen 1?
Also, would it make more sense to repair and keep it, sell it, or exchange it for the Gen 3 model?

Any honest suggestions or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏

i haven't used my scooter for the last 1 month and now the screen is not turning on nor it is charging please help me how do i turn this scooter on

Bought an Ola S1X+ 2 years ago and honestly, at this point I deserve an honorary technician certificate from Ola. After 20+ service center visits due to faults in my scooter, I can now fix basic issues myself because apparently that’s part of the ownership experience.

But the real masterpiece was the battery. Around 3 months ago, my scooter’s range dropped to under 10 km. Ola said, “Cells aren’t balanced, software update will fix it.” After 5 service center visits and zero updates, the solution magically became: “Leave your scooter for 2 months for battery replacement.”

Fast forward after 3 months of dropping my scooter in the junk yard. no scooter, no battery, no updates, no calls answered. I’ve visited the center 3 more times, but their system proudly says “in progress” and battery is in Bangalore.

So basically, I didn’t buy a scooter. I subscribed to a long-term patience test with occasional burning my petrol to visit their service center and ofc from the last 3 months I am taking local bus to reach my office.

Can anyone now advise me what to do in this case ?
