Recently, an Ola S1 Pro user suffered serious injuries after the front suspension of the electric scooter broke off while the user was riding it.
According to the owner of the Ola S1 Pro, the front suspension of the electric scooter failed when the scooter was moving at a speed of just 35km/h. However, Ola Electric claims that its preliminary investigations revealed that the scooter suffered a high-impact road accident.
Though there have been a few reports of Ola electric scooter front suspension being broken in a similar fashion, these incidents can be considered extremely rare and unusual. However, a few netizens are pointing out at the unconventional single-fork setup of the Ola electric scooters for the issue.
