Best Model For Ola S1 Gen 3
You would have to choose whether you want range or new features. If range is your priority (It should be) going for the 4kwh battery option of the s1x would be the best choice. You would have to book the two wheeler fast as the prices shared by OLA are introductory prices and would change soon. And if you can shell out an exorbitant amount of money the top of the class S1 pro + would be the choice to go for. If you need a two wheeler for a normal daily runabout the basic 2 kwh model of the S1 x would suffice as well.
