Ola S1 Z and Gig Deliveries Delayed – Here’s What Happened
Ola Electric has delayed the deliveries of its affordable S1 Z and Gig scooters. The company is now focusing more on its upcoming Roadster electric motorcycle and working to improve how its retail network operates.
Delivery Delays: S1 Z and Gig Models
- S1 Z: With a price tag of ₹59,999, this model is aimed at city riders looking for a budget-friendly electric scooter for daily use.
- Gig and Gig+: Built for B2B use, these models were launched with prices between ₹39,999 and ₹49,999, offering affordable electric mobility solutions for businesses.
Deliveries for these models were originally planned for April and May 2025. However, the company has now delayed them to a later date, which hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Ola Shifts Focus to Roadster Platform First
Bhavish Aggarwal, CEO of Ola Electric, said the company is now focusing on the Roadster platform, which includes the Roadster X, X Plus, and Arrowhead models. This shift is meant to give each product the right focus and resources during launch.
However, even the Roadster X has faced delays—originally set to launch in March 2025, its deliveries have now been pushed to May 21, 2025.
Market Shift: More Competition and Better Ola Service
Ola Electric has seen growing competition from major two-wheeler brands like Bajaj and TVS, leading to a steady drop in sales through all four quarters of FY25. As a result, the company has lost its top spot in the electric two-wheeler market.
To bounce back, Ola has expanded its retail and service network to around 4,000 stores across India. It also claims to have improved service speed, with an average turnaround time of just 1.1 days, aiming to boost customer satisfaction and streamline operations.
What’s Next: Launching Products One at a Time
Ola Electric will now launch its products one by one, giving each model the attention and resources it needs. Although the exact launch dates for the S1 Z and Gig scooters haven’t been shared, the company assures they are still a key part of its future plans.
Customers who have pre-booked the S1 Z or Gig are encouraged to follow official Ola Electric channels for the latest updates on delivery timelines.
