Ola Electric has introduced that it’s providing its present prospects an choice to improve to what it calls an upgraded entrance fork design. This announcement comes within the wake of various entrance suspension breakage points rising on-line, because the S1 Pro was first launched in late 2021.

• Ola maintains that the unique design is protected
• Fork substitute to be carried out by appointment
• Appointments start March 22 onwards

The information in regards to the fork substitute comes as a part of a fairly paradoxical announcement by Ola that first states there aren’t any points with the unique design of the entrance fork, and but, goes on to say that it has made adjustments to the design to ‘improve the sturdiness and energy’. Visually, the fork appears to function an extra bracing member on the underside part.

Ola says that every one S1 and S1 Pro prospects have the choice to improve to the brand new fork design, and that this might be carried out freed from cost. Replacements might be carried out by appointment, and the appointment window will open on March 22.

While remembers are fairly a typical occurence within the automotive business, Ola has kept away from utilizing the time period anyplace in its commmunication, and this transfer of changing a significant part that it continues to deem completely protected, is fairly unprecedented.

The S1 and S1 Pro use an unconventional single-sided entrance fork that comes from Ola’s provider Gabriel, which additionally provides suspension parts to many main Indian OEMs. The entry-level S1 Air, in the meantime, opts for a standard telescopic fork as an alternative.

The S1 Pro’s journey high quality was one of many highlights once we in contrast it towards the Ather 450X, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.
