Ola Electric’s S1 Pro took the Indian audience by surprise when it went on sale. In fact, it is now quite a common sight on the roads. Multiple Ola S1 Pros can be seen zipping past traffic in major metro cities of the country. While the company has been constantly updating the scooter on almost all fronts, incidents of suspension failures keep surfacing on social media platforms. Recently, a Twitter user – Samkit Parmar shared pictures and video of his Ola S1 Pro after his front suspension broke while his wife was riding an electric scooter. According to the tweet, the suspension got damaged on its own and the woman rider fell down from the scooter.

This is not the first time that the owner of Ola S1 electric scooter has spoken about the failure of the front suspension. Owners have reported several incidents of front suspension failure of the scooter. And it’s quite understandable that the initial batch of the product developed issues. Although there are several incidents of suspension breakage all over the internet, there is no word from the OEM on the issue. However, the electric two-wheeler has been rolling out OS updates to fix software-related glitches and bugs. Recently, the new Moovos 3.0 has been launched by Ola Electric, which now brings a whole new set of features to the table, such as Region Mode, Hill Hold, Party Mode, Proximity Unlock, Vacation Mode and more.
