Ola Electric on Thursday started test rides for prospective customers for the S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters that have created quite a buzz in the Indian automotive market. Reservation for the Ola S1 and S1 Pro variants were opened in August for a few days and this was followed by the purchase window being opened for a few days in September. The next purchase window was scheduled to be opened in first week of November but this has now been pushed back to December 16 as the company wants to meet with the delivery timelines for those who have already initiated payment processes.

The test rides for the Ola S1 and S1 Pro scooters have been much awaited as many who have reserved a unit have been wanting to take a look at the product before completing the purchase process. Although refundable, even those who have initiated purchases have took to social media in the past to inquire about test rides. Many in Bengaluru opted to attend the test ride event which started Thursday. “Thrilled to see customers having so much fun riding the Ola S1 at our test ride camp in Bangalore," tweeted Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. “Soon in other cities!"
