Finally got my hands on the ola s1pro plus gen3. Let me tell you straight, this thing is not just another shiny EV. After riding electric scooters in India for over 10 years, I can spot what's real and what's just hype within minutes. And trust me, this one has its moments
First Ride Vibes
The design looks cool, all sleek and modern. Feels like a future scooter. But the seat is stiff. Long rides? Not the comfiest. Footrest is a bit narrow too. My old Gen2 was better in that regard. And the handle grips feel slightly off if you have big hands. Seedha bola, first impression is wow visually, but ride comfort needs some getting used to.

Performance & Range Reality
Ola claims 500 km range. Hah, I remember a similar promise on X model two years ago. Real world? Barely 380. With ola s1pro plus gen3, I managed around 420 km mixed riding. Not bad, but don't believe the brochure blindly
Acceleration is fun, zippy up to 40 kmph. But one evening in the rain, regenerative braking acted weird. Had to adjust fast or you stop too sharp. Small thing, but it matters if you ride daily. Another thing, city traffic? Smooth as butter. Highway? You feel the weight after 80 kmph
Software & Tech
Now here's the funny part. The app is cool, ride modes are fun, but had a glitch once. Navigation won't sync. Called the dealer. Seedha said, he said some units have this. OTA update will fix it. Honesty points there. If you are not into apps, it could feel a little confusing
Build & Storage
Body feels solid, paints don't scratch easily. Under-seat storage is okay, helmet fits fine. But stuff your backpack and groceries together? Plan ahead. Some plastics feel cheap, could be better for the price
Highway vs City
City rides are smooth, loving weaving through traffic. Highway longer rides? Tires and weight show up, slight shake on bumps. Brakes are strong, dual disc setup works well. Regenerative braking still takes some getting used to. First time on this, you'll feel it. But ola s1pro plus gen3 handles it better than Gen2

Price & Value
This is a premium EV. Paying for tech, features, brand. Minor software bugs, seat stiffness, plastics—these keep it from being perfect. But compared to others in market, ola s1pro plus gen3 gives a lot for the price
Final Thoughts
If you ask me, ola s1pro plus gen3 is a bold step for Indian EVs. Fast, tech-loaded, looks cool. Not flawless. Software quirks, long ride comfort, some plastics. But for city commuters who love gadgets, fun rides, it’s a solid choice. For purists wanting perfect ergonomics, wait for next update. Seedhi baat, ride it yourself. Streets will tell the truth
