The Contenders

The Ola S1 pro offers a seamless riding experience in the normal mode and this mode, in particular, looks the more sorted. The Ola S1 pro provides a linear power delivery in the Sport mode. But, the talking point here is the hyper mode. The hyper mode offers a burst of acceleration.
