We expect deliveries to commence soon while exact delivery timeline will vary on a first-come-first-serve basis.As we already know, Ola Electric follows a direct-to-consumer model instead of a conventional dealership template. Though this model has its benefits, it did face some logistic challenges such as delays in deliveries, registrations etc. However, as things move forward, the process should smoothen out in the near future.

Like other Keeway models, Vieste 300 will be sold alongside Benelli motorcycles through the latter’s showrooms.
