Move OS2 explained
The biggest upgrade to the Ola S1 Pro comes in form of the Move OS2 software. The system is rather quick and we have been having a good experience with it beginning with very little range depletion. We left the scooter unridden for a couple of days and in turn the range depleted by just two kilometres. Now, this is way better than the other electric scooters we have experienced in the past. The scooter has also got an Eco ride mode thanks to the Move OS2, where the attempt is to get a better range by capping the top speed to 40kmph. The app clearly showed a rather respectable range of 141km in Eco mode with 83 per cent of charge left. Now we tried it out and we sure got a range in the same range and this also inspires confidence in the rider that he or she will not get stuck. The cruise control function works well and is a single-click operation which means that it is very much useable on the go. This function sure is helpful when riding on empty roads. While we are not a big fan of blaring music on the go, we must tell you the function works. While the speaker quality is not something to write about, the other hindrance comes in the fact that one has to reconnect using the Bluetooth function every time. Do we recommend it on the go? Well, not really.
What I surely missed having was the multiple displays which were promised initially. I still remember some really cool displays were shown to us and I for one loved them. Another thing which sure needs to be sorted or offered soon is the proximity sensor to switch on or off the scoot. Here is why. When we received the scooter, a whole bunch of people gathered asking us to allow them to check out the scooter. With the scooter locked, I asked them all to turn around while I punched in the code. Now, this is a bit weird. Also, I have a hunch that ruffians will have a field day with the scoot when parked unattended. To avoid such a situation, using the app is a better idea as punching in the code physically is not required. It is also quick and easy to operate. The app will also let you open the underseat stowage of the scoot.
