Ola Electric has constantly made the headlines during the last few months. The S1 and S1 Pro electric scooters have often been praised for their performance and features and they have often also received criticism due to quality issues and sub-standard range performance. Despite all the criticisms, Ola Electric has built up a large fan base and thousands of buyers who swear by their electric scooters.

One of the Ola S1 Pro's unique features is its ability to play music on its two inbuilt speakers. Users can pair their phone to the scooter's touchscreen infotainment system through Bluetooth and stream their favourite music. The speakers in the S1 Pro don't really produce excellent sound. However, they are pretty loud and can be heard from a distance even in traffic.

As it turns out, these speakers are being put to use very well by users and this usage extends to well beyond playing music while riding the scooter, as this video has proven. Twitter user Shreyas Sardesai tweeted a video with the caption "Ola S1 Pro turned out to be saviour when lights were out during Navratri celebration. Every one enjoyed navratri with Ola's speakers."

Navratri is an annual Hindu Festival and literally means Nine Nights. It is celebrated in different ways across the country. In Gujarat, performance arts are held on all nine days and celebrations in the state are well-known for their Garba group dances. This is one wherein friends, families, and sometimes entire neighbourhoods form circles and dance together.

People dance to traditional tunes and specific Garba music. In this case, as the tweet reads, the lights were out and hence music couldn't be played. This is where the Ola S1 Pro came to the rescue with its speakers. Traditional Garba music was played on its speakers and people of the community came together for the traditional dance.

Ola Electric's CEO Bhavish Aggarwal was tagged in the same tweet. And he retweeted the video with a rather eccentric statement. Bhavish Aggarwal claimed that a special Navratri mode will be added into the MoveOS infotainment system OS before next year.

Thoughts On Ola S1 Pro Being Turned Into Boombox For Navratri

At this point, we will leave it up to you to decide if Ola's CEO was serious about the Navratri mode being added into MoveOS, or if he was just having a little too much fun. When you come to think of it though, a Navratri mode in an S1 Pro scooter with the speakers blaring music and the LED lights flashing in sync with the music is something quite a few Indian buyers would love.
