Ola S1 and S1 Pro will both be available for purchase online, and buyers will have the option to either make the full payment or choose from a selection of curated finance options. The equated monthly installments (EMIs) for S1 scooters will start from Rs 2,999 per month, Ola Electric said in a statement on Tuesday.
