Ola will adopt a direct-to-consumer model for sales of its scooter. The scooter will be competitively priced and the pricing shall be announced soon, as per the Ola website. Consumers can book this e-scooter, which comes in 10 colours, by paying Rs 499 via netbanking, credit/debit cards, UPI, e-wallets or OlaMoney. “Reserving an Ola scooter by paying Rs 499 that you will be first in line to purchase it when we announce deliveries.
