The Ola scooter comes with a minimalistic design with twin headlamps surrounded by a rectangular DRL strip. We expect a tyre size of 12-inches at the front as well as the rear. A telescopic suspension is expected in the front and a mono-shock one at the rear. The Ola Scooter is set to be launched in 10 colour options. 

Range

This can be a big step-up from the current scooters, as Ola has said that these numbers are the actual figures, not the promised ones.  The scooter might not get swappable batteries, which were speculated earlier.
