Ola Zelio: Electric scooters are no longer just an alternative — they’re quickly becoming the main choice for everyday commuting. With the launch of the Ola Zelio, that shift feels even more natural. What makes it stand out isn’t just the impressive 200 km range, but also how it balances smart features and affordability in a way that makes sense for real-world users.
A Clean and Urban-Friendly Design
The Ola Zelio keeps things simple and functional. The design is smooth, with clean panels, LED headlamps, and comfortable seating for two. It’s not overly styled, but it does feel current — perfect for daily commutes without drawing too much attention.
The scooter feels light and is easy to handle, especially in tight city lanes. Its wide footboard gives riders enough space to carry a bag or two, and the build quality feels solid for a scooter in this price bracket.
Smart Features Without Overcomplication
One of the things Ola has done right is giving the Zelio features you’ll actually use. It comes with a fully digital display, anti-theft lock, reverse mode, USB charging port, and even smart key access. You also get Bluetooth connectivity in the higher variant, which allows basic interaction with your phone and scooter data.
These features make it easier to live with day to day, especially for urban riders who rely on their scooters for short but frequent trips.
Battery and Range
Now to the part everyone’s talking about: the range. The Ola Zelio is available with two battery options, and the top variant promises a range of up to 200 km on a single charge. That’s a number that rivals even some entry-level electric motorcycles.
The battery is lithium-ion based and removable, which means you can charge it at home or even in your office. Charging time is between 4 to 5 hours, depending on the charger and battery size.
Performance and Ride Comfort
While the Zelio isn’t built for speed, it does offer a top speed of 55 km/h, which is more than enough for daily city use. The ride feels stable and predictable, and the suspension setup handles speed bumps and potholes well.
The scooter runs quietly and smoothly, and because it’s electric, the maintenance costs are significantly lower than petrol scooters.
Price and Final Verdict
The best part? The starting price of the Ola Zelio is just ₹69,000 (ex-showroom), which makes it one of the most affordable high-range e-scooters in the market right now. Even the top variant with the 200 km range is expected to stay under ₹90,000, making it accessible for students, working professionals, and even small business owners.
If you’re looking for a smart, long-range electric scooter that doesn’t overdo it, the Ola Zelio makes a solid case for itself. With a practical feature set and a price that doesn’t stretch your budget, it feels like the right EV at the right time.
