OLA S1 Pro vs TVS iQube: Two of the best electric scooters with amazing features and range compared in detail, read before you buy

OLA S1 Pro vs TVS iQube: New players who are willing to question and change the methods of the past enter the game with every significant development in personal technology. Consider the transition from internal combustion engines to electric motors. On the one hand, we have established producers like TVS, a company renowned for producing scooters and motorbikes with excellent engineering. On the other hand, there are start-ups like Ola Electric that aim to revolutionise personal mobility by fundamentally reimagining what a scooter may be like rather than merely starting over as an EV manufacturer.

Verdict

Both e-scooters are rather fully loaded and have distinctive qualities of their own. While the Ola S1's built-in speakers and keyless entry feature might entice youthful customers, I still think TVS iQube's physical key access is more practical.

On paper, the TVS iQube S version doesn't compare favourably to the Ola S1. We cannot, however, ignore the fact that many Ola S1 Pro users have experienced a variety of software-related problems that have hampered their user experience.
