Ola Gig design, range, top speed details

The new Ola Gig has been designed to be a commercial two-wheeler and, as such, it comes with a large single seat for the rider as well as a big carrier at the back. 

The scooter uses drum brakes at both ends and has a telescopic front fork. The Ola Gig base model comes with a small 250-watt motor and has a top speed of 25kph, which means it can be used without having to be registered. This product will be a rival to the Yulu models we see zipping around in major metro cities.

The Ola Gig+ comes with a much more powerful 1.5kW motor and has a top speed of 45kph, which means it will have to be registered for road use. 

Both scooters come with a single removable 1.5kWh battery pack, which can be extended to two packs if you buy the Gig+. The company claims a range of 112km for the Gig and either 81km or 157km for the Gig+, depending on whether you buy it with one battery or two. 

The scooter will start via app-based access, and while the company claims quick charging times, it hasn't stated any specific figures. So far, Ola has only revealed digital render images and no other specifications. For now, details such as seat height, kerb weight, load-carrying capability, and wheel sizes remain unknown.

Ola has announced introductory starting prices of Rs 39,999 for the Gig and Rs 49,999 for the Gig+. Deliveries are slated to begin in April 2025.
