Ola S1 X+ Gen 3 Specifications and Dimensions
| Dimension | Value |
|---|---|
| Length x Width x Height | 1,900 x 820 x 1,272 mm |
| Wheelbase | 1,359 mm |
| Ground clearance | 160 mm |
| Underseat storage | 34 litres |

| Seating | 2 |
The scooter keeps a compact, easy-to-handle size for busy city roads. Its 160 mm ground clearance clears most speed breakers, while 34 litres of underseat storage fits a half-face helmet or a day’s shopping. Moreover, at around 113 kg, it stays light enough for new riders to manage in traffic.
Battery and Range
Among the Ola S1 X+ Gen 3 specifications, battery choice matters most. The 4 kWh version claims 242 km on the IDC cycle, which covers most riders’ needs for a week of commuting. Meanwhile, the 5.2 kWh version uses Ola’s new 4680 Bharat Cells, the same cells found in the pricier Ola S1 Pro, and claims up to 320 km. Real-world range will be lower, especially in Sports mode or with a pillion.
Motor and Performance
An 11 kW mid-drive IPM motor powers the rear wheel through a chain drive. This setup gives brisk pickup, reaching 40 km/h in about 2.7 seconds. As a result, it feels quicker off the line than family scooters such as the Ather Rizta S. Top speed is 125 km/h, and riders can switch between Sports, Normal and Eco modes. In addition, advanced regenerative braking recovers energy when slowing down.
Ola S1 X+ Charging Time
| Charger | Charging time |
|---|---|
| 750 W home charger (4 kWh, 0 to 100%) | About 6 hours |
| Home charger (5.2 kWh, 0 to 80%) | About 7 hours |
Both versions charge from a regular home socket, so an overnight charge easily covers the next day’s riding. Because the larger 5.2 kWh battery takes longer to fill, owners should plug in a little earlier in the evening.
Brakes, Suspension and Warranty
The scooter uses twin telescopic front forks and a mono-shock rear suspension. It rides on 12-inch wheels with 90/90 tyres. Up front, a disc brake pairs with Ola’s brake-by-wire system, while a drum handles the rear. Ola covers the battery for 3 years or 50,000 km and the scooter for 3 years or 40,000 km, and the latest on-road costs appear on the Ola S1 X+ price page.
