S1 X suits daily commuters well with solid range, easy automatic riding, and app-based tracking, though modest brakes are a minor trade-off.
The S1 X brings solid performance and rich connected tech that enthusiasts will enjoy, though its drum brakes and steel wheels hold back the sportier handling edge.
A practical, well-equipped electric scooter with decent pillion support and useful safety/monitoring features, though braking hardware is basic for family use.
The OLA S1 X is built for city commuting, not long-distance highway touring, given its limited 108 km range and slow charging.
I bought the S1 X after reading about Ola's performance credentials on the S1 Pro and assumed the X would offer at least some of that character at a lower price. It does not. There is no sport mode worth the name, the acceleration above 40 kmph tapers off quickly, and the top speed of 90 kmph is a hard ceiling that feels slow on any open road. The OTA updates arrive but add convenience features rather than performance improvements. Build quality feels entry-level and one panel near the headstock already has a slight rattle at four months. If you want riding excitement from an electric scooter, stretch your budget to the S1 Pro minimum. The S1 X is a practical commuter with no enthusiasm whatsoever -- fine for what it is, just not what I needed.
We bought the S1 X as our second household scooter for school runs and local errands and it has settled in nicely. The power delivery is smooth which makes it easy to ride with my son as pillion, and the boot fits our day-to-day items without complaint. Charging overnight at home is simple and the geofencing alert has already proved useful once. The build quality is noticeably lighter than premium scooters -- a couple of panels flex slightly -- but nothing has rattled loose in four months of daily use. The running cost saving over our petrol scooter is real. For the price it offers good value as a reliable family second vehicle.
I use the S1 X for occasional Jaipur city trips and once-a-month runs to Ajmer, roughly 135 km round trip. The range at 70 kmph is about 80-85 km which makes Ajmer viable with a mid-point charge at a 15A socket at a dhaba I have identified. It is not comfortable long-distance transport -- the seating position tires after 45 minutes and 90 kmph top speed leaves no buffer -- but it manages. Charging infrastructure is thin but a patient rider can make it work with advance planning. Build quality and performance are acceptable for the money. This is not the tool for serious touring but for budget-conscious riders doing occasional moderate distances, it clears the bar if you go in with realistic expectations.
I bought the S1 X as a replacement for my old petrol scooter specifically for my 16 km daily commute and it has been exactly what I needed. Range in eco mode covers four to five days of my commute on one charge and the running costs are dramatically lower than petrol. The connected app is basic but works for navigation and charge monitoring. Build quality is not premium but feels solid enough for daily city use. Performance is adequate for Bengaluru traffic -- it accelerates smoothly and keeps pace with the flow. I did not need warp mode or advanced features. For a budget electric scooter used purely for commuting, the S1 X is hard to argue against.
Pull out of a congested signal at Andheri or Silk Board and the S1 X does something most ₹90,000 scooters refuse to do: it actually moves. The hub motor delivers instant torque that puts a Honda Activa e: (₹1.18 lakh, ₹25,000 more) firmly behind in the first 30 metres.
In Normal mode, city speed ceiling sits around 80 kmph — enough for most metro arterials. Sport mode unlocks a claimed 90 kmph, which it genuinely achieves, though it arrives with motor whine and a battery drain rate that is not subtle. Roll-on from 40–70 kmph feels brisk for a 3 kWh scooter, though the 6 kW motor begins to breathe harder above 70.
Highway use beyond 75 kmph is uncomfortable rather than mechanically impossible. At 80+ kmph, wind blast becomes the real enemy on the small fly-screen, and range drops sharply — real-world owners consistently report 85–95 km from the 3 kWh pack versus the 151 km ARAI claim. At a ₹0.18/km running cost, the 3 kWh version gives you roughly ₹17 for a full recharge — the economics are unbeatable even at actual range.
Eco mode is the range saver but kills urgency completely — throttle response feels like a dam releasing water one cup at a time. Fine for a 40-kmph lane, punishing in fast-moving traffic.
