Ola rolls out OTA MoveOS 2 for 50,000 consumers

Ola Electric launches its much-awaited MoveOS2 O-T-A software update at the Ola Futurefactory and will be available to Ola S1 Pro customers. This update will give access to features that include the Companion app, Music Playback, Eco mode, Cruise Control and Navigation. The software update also promises bug fixes like range drop, battery discharge and other minor areas, that were previously found in isolated instances. As for the new features that Ola S1 Pro customers will get access to, we have explained them below:

Companion app: Via these feature customer can access the scooter remotely. They can also lock, unlock, and open the boot space of the scooter with the touch of a button on their mobile phone. Other important vehicle metrics like real-time such as charge status, range in different modes, and odometer reading will also be displayed via this app.

Music playback: This has been one of the most awaited feature. This will allow Ola customers to pair their phones and play music via the in-built speakers on the S1 Pro scooters.

Eco mode: Ola’s Eco mode is all about extending the range of their electric scooters. In this mode, the company claims that the scooter can do 165 km of range in a single charge. The company also claims that in some cases customers have achieved up to 200 km of range in Eco mode.

Cruise Control: This feature will allow customers to seamlessly cruise without the need to twist the throttle and maintain a steady speed between 20 kmph and 80 kmph. This feature is usually available with high-end vehicles and 4-wheelers. The cruise mode can be activated in Normal and Hyper ride modes, but not on Eco modes.

Navigation: The large TFT display that the Ola S1 Pro comes equipped with will display the navigation. This includes both turn-by-turn navigation and live route map.

To commemorate the Ola S1’s successful sales run, along with 50,000 scooters on-road cumulatively raking in 45 million kms of distance, Ola S1 Pro also launched a special “Gerua” colour option. At the same occasion, the Indian electric 2-wheel manufacturer also teased images of their upcoming four-wheeler, which is slated to be a sedan. More information about that will follow soon.
