Need Advice for a Trip

Hey all,

I owned Ola S1X 4Kwh for about 2yrs now.

I mostly used it for my daily commute to my college which is 30kms around.

Which is great so far I had no issues rather than rear tyre wear.

Now in this summer, me and my friends are planning to go a bike ride to kodaikanal (hill station) from my hometown BUT the problem is my Ola s1x 4kwh only has range 127 km and the distance between kodaikanal and my hometown which is 122 kms.

I’m worried about the range, drops quicker in uphill and I have no charging point en route to the destination.

I can charge it when I reach the destination I confirmed the availability of charger point in the place i stay.

My questions are,

  1. Is the range drops quicker in uphill ?
  2. Can I trust the range show in the scooter?
  3. Is anyone already been to kodaikanal and know some charging point?
  4. Any suggestions ?

***I need to clarify that I know Ola scooters are not that reliable and I shouldn’t do this ride in it. But all I have is this scooter so no other option are feasible.

BTW this is my first post✌️
