Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal hints at upcoming electric bike, asks netizens about preference

After launching the Ola S1 Air in October, the CEO of the company Bhavish Aggarwal has hinted about launching an electric bike in India. The CEO has not only hinted about the manufacturing of electric bike but also asked his followers/ netizens about their preferences. If the CEO is serious about the issue we might expect to have an electric bike in the upcoming years.

In a recent tweet, Bhavish Aggarwal has mentioned about building an electric bike. He has even asked netizens about the type of motorcycle they would prefer – Sports, Cruiser, Adventure or Cafe Racer. The poll has maximum votes for Sports category. We are quite sure that Bhavish will reveal the features of the bike in the future. Apart from Bike, Ola is planning to launch an electric car too. We are hoping that just like its electric scooters, Ola will make India-friendly electric cars too.

Currently, Ola offers three electric scooters in the form of S1 Air, S1 Standard and S1 Pro.
