The much-awaited software update brings major performance improvements to the scooters while also ensuring a smooth riding experience and convenience for consumers while on the road, as well as better accessibility.
Another major benefit of this upgrade is the exposure of Ola scooters to the company’s rapidly expanding Hypercharger network currently spread across 27 Indian states. Consumers can now add up to 50 km of range with just 15 minutes of quick charging at Ola Hyperchargers.
Bhavish Agarwal, Founder and CEO, Ola Electric said, “As promised we have started rolling out MoveOS 3 to all Ola S1 owners this week. This is our third major software upgrade in a year and I am proud of our engineers for implementing world-class technology so quickly.
At Ola we aim to create great products and then focus on making them even better. MoveOS 2 is way ahead of its time, having introduced unique features to 2Ws, now MoveOS 3 will set a new paradigm in how EV 2Ws are perceived in the country and the world by transforming India’s favorite scooter into a sophisticated and truly cognitive machine.”

In addition to the aforementioned features, MoveOS 3 brings several performance improvements to Ola’s S1 family of scooters. These include better acceleration in Hyper and Sport modes, increased top speed in Eco mode, better visibility and more accuracy. Also includes vital scooter stats like, DTE (distance to empty), battery percentage, TTC (time-to-charge) etc. Which along with many other minor improvements promises to make India’s best-selling range of EV two-wheelers even better.
Ola is expanding aggressively by launching more than 50 experience centers across the country and expects to open 100 outlets by month-end and 200 outlets by March 2023. Ola’s goal of ensuring that all 2Ws on Indian roads are electric by 2025 is closer to reality, as the company is working to build a strong roadmap for electric vehicles, accelerating the world’s transition to electric mobility.
