Ola upgrades front fork arm of S1, says customers can switch to new design for free

Ola on Tuesday said it has upgraded the front fork design of its Ola S1 electric scooter and is giving its customers the option to upgrade to the new design for free from March 22.

The company in a statement said that there have been some concerns regarding the Ola S1's front fork arm, which have remained unfounded.

"At Ola, all components of our scooters including the front fork arm are thoroughly tested under extreme conditions and are engineered with a factor of safety much higher than the typical loads encountered on vehicles. However, as part of our continuous engineering and design improvement process, we have recently upgraded the front fork design to enhance the durability and strength even further," Ola said.
