Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal revealed on Saturday that the much-anticipated Ola e-scooter had received 1 lakh pre-launch bookings in just 24 hours, making it the world’s “most pre-booked scooter.”
On July 15th, Ola Electric announced the start of bookings for a symbolic sum of $499 on its official website.
“India’s electric vehicle revolution is off to a fast start. Bhavish Aggarwal wrote on Twitter, “Many thanks to the 100,000+ revolutionaries who’ve joined us and reserved their scooter.”
“I am ecstatic by the overwhelming positive feedback we have received from customers across India for our first electric vehicle. “The record demand is a strong indicator of evolving customer preferences toward electric vehicles,” said Bhavish Aggarwal in a statement.
“This is a huge step forward in our mission to transition the world to sustainable mobility. I thank all the consumers who have booked the Ola Scooter and have joined the EV revolution. This is only the beginning!”
The new Ola electric scooter is expected to hit the market later this month in India.
The scooter will also have the best-in-class boot space, according to Ola Electric. The new scooter will also come with an app-based key for a keyless experience.
The electric scooter, according to Ola, would include ergonomic seats. The scooter will also be equipped with,”superior cornering” ability as well as “class-leading acceleration” according to the manufacturer.
