Due to the shortage of semiconductor chips, a delay was caused for Ola S1 and S1 Pro scooters and therefore the delivery dates were pushed forward. Ola electric has now finally started with the deliveries of Ola S1 and S1 Pro on 15th December 2021. Ola electric hosted an event for their first 100 customers which they attended with their family and friends in Bangalore and Chennai to take their electric scooter home.
