⚙️ Motor and Performance
The Ola Gig is powered by a 250W hub motor, which gives it a top speed of 25 km/h. This makes it a low-speed electric scooter that does not require a driving license or registration in most Indian states. Its performance is tuned for inner-city routes, offering smooth acceleration and a quiet riding experience. It’s perfect for crowded streets, narrow lanes, and short trips.
🔋 Battery, Range & Charging
One of the biggest highlights of the Ola Gig is its 1.5 kWh portable and swappable battery. On a single charge, it can cover up to 112 km (IDC-certified range), which is more than enough for daily delivery or office rides. Charging takes around 5 hours using a standard home charger, and Ola plans to roll out a battery swapping network soon to make it even more convenient for gig workers.
🛠️ Design and Build Quality
The Ola Gig is built with practicality in mind. It features a sturdy frame, flat footboard, and 12-inch alloy wheels that offer good stability on Indian roads. It comes with drum brakes at the front and rear, along with LED headlamp, tail lamp, and indicators. The build quality is focused on durability for daily use, with a simple and functional design suited for utility-based riding.
📱 Digital Console and Connectivity
Even though it’s affordable, Ola has equipped the Gig with modern features like a fully digital instrument cluster. It shows speed, battery level, and ride stats. The scooter also supports mobile app connectivity, allowing users to track trips, battery status, and get service alerts directly on their phones.
🚚 Gig+ Variant – More Power, More Range
For users who want a bit more performance, Ola offers the Gig+ variant at ₹49,999. It comes with a 1.5kW motor and a top speed of 45 km/h. The Gig+ supports dual battery setup, offering a maximum range of around 157 km. This makes it perfect for long delivery shifts or rural travel where charging points are limited.
🏁 Booking, Delivery & Who It’s For
The Ola Gig is currently open for booking at just ₹499. Ola is targeting delivery workers, gig economy riders, and budget-conscious customers with this model. The company has promised quick deliveries and wide availability. Thanks to its low price, zero fuel cost, and compact size, the Ola Gig is expected to become a favorite in India’s growing electric scooter market.
