Ola S1 Air: Same Price Other Options

Here are five two-wheelers you can opt for instead of the most affordable Ola S1

Ola Electric introduced the S1 Air a couple of days ago; its most affordable offering to date. But if its Rs 84,999 (ex-showroom Delhi, including FAME II subsidy) price tag hasn’t impressed you enough, here are five other similarly priced alternatives: 

Honda Activa 125 -  Rs 77,062 onwards (ex-showroom Delhi)

EVs might be the future but they can create divided opinions as well. So, if you’re someone who’d rather stick to a tried-and-tested ICE scooter, it doesn’t get better than the Honda Activa 125. The Activa series has been the best-selling one in India for quite some time now and for Rs 7,937 (for the base variant) less, you get an elegant-looking scooter that’s based on a very reliable platform. 

Hero Splendor Plus Xtec - Rs 75,046 (ex-showroom Delhi)

For a substantial Rs 9,953 less than the Ola S1 Air, you can also get yourself the Hero Splendor Xtec. This bulletproof commuter is not only extremely frugal, but now also comes equipped with several segment-first features like a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, real-time mileage indicator and more. 

TVS Raider - Rs 85,973 (ex-showroom Delhi)

If motorcycles are what pique your interest, the TVS Raider presents itself as a great proposition. For Rs 974 more, the Raider offers a bunch of geeky features, sporty styling, handling and a peppy engine. Head over to your nearest TVS showroom if that interests you. 

TVS NTorq 125 - Rs 79,956 onwards (ex-showroom Delhi)

If the Honda Activa 125 is too docile for you, the TVS NTorq 125, which is hands down one of the sportiest scooters in India could catch your fancy. With its attractive price (starting from Rs 79,956, ex-showroom Delhi), loads of features and sporty handling, the NTorq 125 does promise to be a good rival to the S1 Air. 

Bajaj Pulsar 125 - Rs 90,003 (ex-showroom Delhi)

The Pulsar moniker is an iconic one in India and with the Bajaj Pulsar 125, it’s been made even more accessible. At Rs 90,003 (ex-showroom Delhi), you get good performance, handling and the safety net of single-channel ABS. The Pulsar 125, hence, seems to be an attractive entry point into the Pulsar family.
