Here Are 5 Reasons Why You Should Buy The Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 Instead Of The Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 – Old Is Gold?

The newly launched Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 electric scooter will be sold alongside the older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 electric scooter in India. However, many people may assume that 'Newer is better'.

In that context, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 is the better scooter compared to the Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model. However, here are 5 reasons why you should opt for the older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model over the newer Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 model.

Ola S1 Pro Gen 1

More Affordable: The older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 is priced at Rs 1,39,999 (ex-showroom). This means the Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model is Rs 7,500 cheaper than the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 electric scooter, which is priced at Rs 1,47,499 (ex-showroom).

More Stylish: The Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 electric scooter looks a lot more stylish than the newer Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 electric scooter. Contributing factors include unique telescopic suspension at the front and a single-sided swingarm at the rear.

This creates an illusion of freely suspended wheels when viewed from one side. Moreover, the model also comes with more stylish split grab rails instead of the tubular grab rails on the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 electric scooter.

More Colour Options: The newly launched Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 electric scooter is available in just 4 colour options. In comparison, the older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model is available in 12 shades.

Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 Colours

These colour options include Porcelain White, Gerua, Millennial Pink, Khaki, Matt Black, Jet Black, Midnight Blue, Liquid Silver, Anthracite Grey, Marshmallow, Coral Glam, and Neo Mint. This gives customers a wider range of shades to choose from.

More Storage Space: The older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 electric scooter sports a more conventional tubular frame and thanks to such a chassis setup, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model sports a 36-litre boot instead of the 34-litre boot in the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 model.

Better Instrument Cluster: Despite being the newer model, the screen resolution of the Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 is rated 800x480, which is lower than the screen resolution of the older Ola S1 Pro Gen 1 model (1280X768). As such, the Ola S1 Pro Gen 1's screen will look sharper.

Thoughts: Looking at the above advantages, we can say that the older S1 Pro Gen 1 electric scooter will be better for those looking for a more stylish electric scooter. Also, the better underseat storage and screen in the older model can be considered an added bonus.
