Ola Electric S1 X+ (Gen 3)
The Ola Electric S1 X+ (Gen 3) is an electric scooter priced from Rs 1,02,499 to Rs 1,29,999 ex-showroom, built for riders who want more punch than a base electric scooter without stepping into flagship pricing. Ola quotes an ARAI range of up to 320 km on the bigger 5.2 kWh pack, though no independent real-world test figure exists yet, so treat that number as a lab-tested ceiling rather than a daily promise. It sits between commuter and premium tiers, with an 11 kW motor that outguns the standard S1 X and a mid-drive setup with the motor controller built in. If you ride mixed city and highway stretches and want brisk acceleration more than a touchscreen dashboard, this trim is worth shortlisting.
Is the Ola Electric S1 X+ (Gen 3) right for you?
Best for
- Riders who want noticeably stronger acceleration than a base electric scooter, thanks to the 11 kW motor
- Daily commuters covering 30-50 km a day who can charge overnight at home on the bundled AC charger
- Buyers near an Ola Hypercharger network who want the option of a 10-70% top-up in about 35 minutes on longer days
- Anyone cross-shopping the S1 Pro who wants nearly the same performance for less, and is fine trading a touchscreen for a simpler LCD
Think twice if
- Buyers who want a real-world tested range figure before committing - Ola has not published one for either S1 X+ variant, only ARAI numbers
- Anyone who wants a touchscreen dashboard - the S1 X+ keeps the basic segmented LCD from the standard S1 X
- Riders without regular access to an Ola charging point, since fast charging on this model depends entirely on Hypercharger station availability in your area
- Value-conscious buyers eyeing the 5.2 kWh variant - at Rs 1,29,999 it edges close to S1 Pro pricing, so it is worth comparing both before deciding

Charging and living with it
Charging: Bundled AC home charger; Hypercharger fast charge 10-70% in ~35 min. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Home charging on the bundled AC charger covers daily use for most riders; the Hypercharger fast-charge option is a bonus for longer days, not a given, since it depends on a station being available near you.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Ola S1 X+ (Gen 3)?
Ola has not published an independently tested real-world range for either variant. The official ARAI-certified figures are 242 km for the 4 kWh pack and 320 km for the 5.2 kWh pack. Expect real-world range to run lower than ARAI, as is typical for most electric two-wheelers, so plan your charging around the smaller number until independent tests are available.
Which S1 X+ variant should I buy, the 4 kWh or the 5.2 kWh?
The 4 kWh variant at Rs 1,02,499 with 242 km ARAI range suits riders doing under 40 km a day who charge at home regularly. The 5.2 kWh variant at Rs 1,29,999 with 320 km ARAI range makes sense if you ride longer distances or want a bigger buffer between charges, but at that price it is worth also comparing the S1 Pro before deciding.
How does charging work on the Ola S1 X+?
Both variants come with a bundled AC home charger for regular overnight charging. Where an Ola Hypercharger station is available, you can also fast-charge from 10 to 70 percent in about 35 minutes. Since Hypercharger access depends on station availability in your city, home charging is the more dependable everyday option.
Does the S1 X+ have a touchscreen like the S1 Pro?
No. The S1 X+ retains the basic segmented LCD display used on the standard S1 X, not the touchscreen dashboard found on higher Ola trims. If a touchscreen matters to you, factor that into your comparison with the S1 Pro.
Is the S1 X+ worth it over the standard S1 X?
The main upgrade is the 11 kW motor, which gives noticeably more power than the standard S1 X, along with the mid-drive motor and integrated motor control unit. It also gets a front disc brake with brake-by-wire and sensor-based safety features. If stronger acceleration matters more to you than saving on price, the X+ is the better pick.
