Saw a crazy accident today – Ola front fork snapped completely off after hitting a Bullet

Saw a wild crash on the road today. An Ola driver was speeding down the wrong side of the road and ended up slamming straight into a Royal Enfield Bullet.

The impact literally snapped the entire front suspension off the Ola. The wheel was just lying on the asphalt separated from the body. Seeing it in person really makes you realize how flimsy and weak the build quality on these scooters actually is.

Drive safe out there, especially with people going full speed on the wrong side.

OLA S1x+, what is this dragging sound?

We are facing a lot of issue from last 2 months, service centre fixes for 40-45min and gives back everytime. I don't know what to do. If anyone can suggest that will be helpful. I have a doubt that somebody in parking area dragged our locked scooty from its dedicated place to corner where we found it one day since then, it started. Pls help

Wanted to sell Ola gen 1 new battery ( June 2025 manufacturing)

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some help pricing and selling a new replacement battery for my Ola Gen 1 (manufactured in June 2025).

This is a replacement battery I recently received, and I've decided to sell it. It’s in pristine condition and consistently gives a range of 120+ km. I've taken great care of it and have never let the charge drop below 25%.

If anyone has a rough idea of what a fair asking price would be, please let me know!

Also, if anyone here is interested in buying it, feel free to DM me. You're welcome to come take a look at the battery in person.

Location: Goa

I might get an offer from Ola electric.. should I go for it?

I'm currently pursuing my MBA and from what I've heard, Ola is going for 500 new stores across India. College is kinda forcing us to apply. The job role is of a Store Manager. Salary, well it isn't very great but for what its worth..

I just don't understand if I should go for it.. I know Ola is having so many issues.. would I be fine with this company? (Edit: yup I've got a loan too)

Home to Kanyakumari ride stats

Yesterday’s ride stats: Started the scooter around 70% charge. From my home to Kanyakumari, it takes at least 33 km. I went with a doubt about whether the emergency charge backup would suffice.

And then see the magic:

After reaching home, left with 10% charge in the scooter. Lower the efficiency, more the ride!!

Ola stopped working in the middle of the bridge.

Please do not purchase any ola products. I repeat you are bound to regret it.

Mine just stopped in the middle of the bridge during 4pm traffic. Lucky that I survived nothing happened. But please guys be safe while making such decisions

Ola driver in Bhopal forced extra ₹15 even after I gave ₹20 tip + was extremely rude. Need advice.

Yesterday on 14-08-2026 faced a classic Ola loot in Bhopal last night and I’m still pissed.

**Ride details**:

CRN: 11186576773

Date: 14th Aug, around 10:25 PM

Pickup: Habibganj Railway Station (Platform 5)

Drop: Bawadiya Kalan, Jatkhedi

Driver: Dayal Singh (White Indigo, 4.7 rating)

Actual fare shown: ₹135

I voluntarily added ₹20 as tip and paid him ₹155. Even after that, the driver demanded another ₹15 extra.

When I refused and said “I’ll pay whatever the Ola app is showing”, he got rude and started arguing:

“App mein location alag bata raha hai, 500 meter upar ho gaye hain. App mein amount badhta nahi hai, toh aapko alag se 15 rupaye dene hi padenge.”

He basically refused to accept the app fare and forced me to pay extra even after taking the tip. Clear overcharging + attitude.

I’ve already sent a strong written complaint to Ola with legal points (Consumer Protection Act + cheating under BNS) and demanded double the fare as compensation. Waiting for their response.

Has anyone else faced this “app mein amount nahi badhta, alag se do” drama in Bhopal or other cities?

Any advice on how to make Ola actually take action or get proper compensation?

Need help regarding filing consumer case

My ola s1x stopped moving and I left at service centre on 21-may-2026. Almost 3 months not repaired and not giving any timeline saying motor is unavailable. Raised complaint through mail, tweets, calls no response at all. Raised complaint to NCH no reply or response to them also. No option left rather than going to court. Has anyone gone to that extent and what do's and don'ts I should follow to make it right.

Any idea on these errors. (Scooter Issue, Please Restart the Scooter)

Model - Ola S1 Pro (2022)

I bought S1 but received locked S1 Pro.

This started happening after recent Move OS 5 DIY Upgrade.

Local mechanic is saying MCU is having a problem and sent diagnostic screenshot.

What could be the issue ?

Why is everybody who has issues with repair is coming together to file a huge consumer case on ola electric?

I am facing so many issues! I'm not getting what was promised to me in ola care plus plan. Repair takes 2-3 months and even then the scooter is given with something broken.

This is a horrible situation and I wonder if so many of us are facing this issue why not band together and file a law suit?

Looking to sell my Ola Electric Gen 1 (March 2022) – What price can I expect?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to sell my Ola Electric Gen 1, purchased in March 2022.

Details:

Model: Ola Electric Gen 1

Purchase: March 2022

KM driven: ~27,000 km

Location: PCMC, Pune

Condition: 100% working

Issues: No major issues so far; it has been running fine for the last 4 years

Regular usage and maintenance

I’m trying to understand what would be a fair selling price in the current market.

Also, I’d appreciate some advice on:

What price can I realistically expect if I sell the complete scooter?

Would it make more financial sense to sell it for parts (battery, motor, electronics, etc.)?

Has anyone recently sold a similar Gen 1 Ola in Pune/PCMC? What price did you get?

I’d prefer selling the whole vehicle if the price difference isn’t significant, but I’m open to considering parts if that makes more sense.

Any advice or recent sale experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
