Ola Electric, after gaining popularity in the personal electric mobility segment, is looking to venture into the B2B space with a new electric scooter. The patent image shows a scooter with a minimalistic, utilitarian design, hinting at the development of an electric scooter for the commercial space.
Electric vehicles have become popular in the small commercial vehicle segment and models like the Yulu scooters are being used widely for many purposes, from deliveries to carrying small loads and last-mile mobility. Going by the patent image, Ola seems to want in as well.
The image reveals a scooter reveals its bare bone chassis underpinning, along with a wide floorboard, single seat, and space to carry things at the rear. The design is basic, with a simple headlight, no front apron, large wheels, and drum brakes.
Battery placement for the scooter seems to be under the front seat and Ola could most likely use one from its existing battery packs, or even opt for swappable units, as this saves a lot of time for commercial applications.
Ola has not made any announcements yet and the launch could take place later this year or early 2025. Apart from this scooter, Ola is also working on electric motorcycles that were showcased last year in their concept form.
