What are the changes for the Gen 3 platform?

Previously, the scooters operated with a belt drive system, which has now been substituted with a chain drive. This modification enhances energy efficiency by 2 percent and increases acceleration by 10 percent. Additionally, the lifespan of the chain is expected to be twice that of the belt drive. The torque is anticipated to be greater, and Ola asserts that the noise level produced by the chain will be comparable to that of the belt drive.

All vehicles utilizing the Gen 3 platform will be equipped with brake-by-wire technology and a single-channel anti-lock braking system. Nevertheless, a select number of vehicles will feature a dual-channel anti-lock braking system. The implementation of brake-by-wire technology is expected to enhance the range by 15 percent due to its brake regeneration capabilities, which will also contribute to prolonging the lifespan of the brake pads.
