    Ola Electric Scooter Owner Records 303 Km Range On Single Charge

    At least two Ola S1 Pro electric scooter owners have claimed that they have achieved over 300 kms rangeOla Electric Scooter Range Record 300 KmsOla Electric has had a massive start with the launch of the S1 pro electric scooter. But as we saw with recent buying trends, Ola Electric is actually losing market share to competition. In June 2022, Ola Electric had a market share of 14.70% while trailing behind the likes of Okinawa, Ampere and Hero Electric, but not by a huge margin.Ola S1 Pro electric scooter delivers one of the highest range. Claimed range stands at about 180 kms. But there have been multiple instances where owners have managed to cross the 200 kms mark. Now, some owners are even claiming 300 kms range from a single charge.Ola S1 Pro 300 Km RangeAn Ola S1 Pro owner by the name Jigar Bharda has clocked a range of 303 km on a single charge which is a massive feat. Helping him achieve this is Ola S1 Pro’s large 3.97 kWh battery pack and a planned 303 km commute with 23 kph average speed and 40 kph top speed and the new Eco Mode unlocked with Move OS 2.0.When we divide the 303km range with 23 kph average speed, the owner took over 13 hours to finish it. At the end, the scooter was in a 6% state of charge with only 1 km range left as indicated by the instrument console. This test was done in Eco Mode which was added with the new Move OS 2.0.Ola Electric Scooter Range Record 300 KmsAnother Ola Electric Scooter owner has also claimed to have achieved 300+ kms range on a single charge. Satyendra Yadav shared a photo on Twitter, with 300 kms range and 5% battery left. He rode at an average speed of 20 kmph and managed top speed of 38 kmph in the run. We have seen Ola Electric awarding free S1 Pro to owners who crossed the 200km barrier. Wonder what Bhavish Aggarwal will award customers crossing 300 km. Two Ola S1 Pro? Or an upcoming Ola Car? Time will tell.Ola Electric Battery CellWith Ather taking a dig at Ola about how safe their EVs are and Simple Energy One on the corner, Ola has to do better to stay ahead of the competition. Developing their own battery cells was on Ola Electric’s roadmap. But since the S1 Pro is based on the Etergo Scooter, it retained the same battery too. To keep production costs in check for next-gen electric scooters and the upcoming Ola Electric car, Ola has come up with an in-house developed battery cell.This new battery cell was revealed by Ola Electric CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal on social media. He claims that it is their first indigenous Li-ion battery cell. Aggarwal also revealed that there is more to come in their cell technology roadmap too. This hints to us that an indigenous battery pack with an indigenous BMS along with a cooling system around this new cell is Ola Electric’s next big step.New Ola CellAggarwal didn’t reveal any technical specifications about this new battery cell though. It is not yet known whether it is an 18,650 cell or a 21,700 cell. Taking 21,700 as an example, 21mm is the diameter of the battery and 700mm is the length of the battery. Ola CEO also didn’t reveal the energy density, energy capacity, or battery chemistry either.From the looks of it, Ola Electric seems to be following Tesla Motor’s footsteps. Initially, Tesla licensed Panasonic 18,650 cells and while planning for Model 3, Tesla manufactured its own 21,700 cells for costs and manufacturing scaling. More

    Bajaj Avenger 220 Vs New TVS Ronin 225 Vs Dominar 250 – Compared

    TVS Ronin has multiple personalities and a cruiser is one of them tooNew TVS RoninEver since TVS Ronin was launched, we have been scratching our heads a little as to where the product lands. We compared it to Bajaj counterparts like Pulsar 250 and Dominar 250. But Bajaj’s products aren’t trying to be the Jack of all trades. They’re razor-sharp in their product placement.Pulsar N250 is a street motorcycle and Pulsar F250 is a semi-faired motorcycle with relatively sharp handling and offers some wind protection. If we look at Bajaj Dominar 250, it has long-leggedness with a 6th gear and is pitted as a power cruiser. But Ronin aims to be a scrambler, a cruiser and a street bike in one. To compare its versatility, we pit it against a proper low-slung cruiser from Bajaj, the Avenger 220 Cruise.Bajaj Avenger 220 Vs New TVS Ronin 225Both engines displace around 220cc but that’s where similarities end. Ronin is a newer machine and it shows in the spec sheets. Ronin makes 20.4 PS at 7750 RPM whereas Avenger makes 19 PS at 8500 RPM. TVS has tuned Ronin’s engine to make more torque at less RPM. It makes 19.93 Nm at 3750 RPM while Avenger makes 17.55 Nm at 7000 RPM.Even though both motorcycles get 5-speed gearbox, Ronin gets a slip and assist clutch which aids rider comfort and ensures smooth shifts. In terms of features, Ronin gets adjustable clutch and brake levers, USD forks at front from Showa, mono-shock suspension at the rear, switchable ride modes, disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS option.Bajaj Avenger 220 vs TVS Ronin 225 vs Bajaj Dominar 250Other features include 17” alloy wheels, tubeless all-terrain tyres with block pattern, LED lighting throughout, SmartXonnect system with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, notification alerts and voice assistant too. TVS Ronin absolutely stomps Bajaj Avenger in terms of features.Bajaj Avenger AdvantagesBajaj Avenger series is often called ‘sasta Royal Enfield’. But Avenger is more of a low-slung cruiser than Royal Enfields. Same attributes hold true when pitted against Ronin too. Avenger gets a 737mm low-slung seating position, it has long handlebars that easily fall into hands, it has immensely supportive and cushioned seats, front set foot pegs, a 1490mm long wheelbase ensuring straight-line stability, 15” wheels at back and more.It would help Avenger if it gets tubeless tyres, modern feel-good features, modern hardware and components and smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth. As of now, the closest thing Avenger gets in terms of Bluetooth is the blue illuminated Bajaj logo that lights up for no reason apparently and mimics a Bluetooth logo.In terms of pricing, Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is cheaper than Ronin. It is priced at Rs. 1,38,368 (ex-sh). Whereas TVS Ronin prices start from Rs. 1,49,000 (ex-sh) for SS variant and go all the way to Rs. 1,70,750 for (ex-sh) TD variant. If you want a modern cruiser with modern features and feel-good factors, TVS Ronin is the one for you. If you value the comfort of a cruiser, Avenger is still the king. It will make you feel like you’re sitting in your house in your favourite recliner. More
