Prior to recent incidents, an Ola S1 owner had also complained about software bug leading to an accident where the electric scooter reversed in full speed.

Ola Electric is facing hardships in Karnataka, after the recent incident in Kalburagi where a man burned down an Ola showroom. A woman from Bengaluru has also expressed her dissent with the EV two-wheeler manufacturer. The woman posted a photo of her vehicle with a placard hanging at the front on the social media platform ‘X’.

The X user mentioned in her caption that she got the idea from @UppinaKai and used hashtags such as #DontBuyOla in the caption. She wrote on the placard - “Dear Kannadigas, Ola is a useless two-wheeler. If you buy one, it only makes your life hard. Please do not buy an Ola Electric scooter." She called herself a frustrated Ola customer at the end of the message.
