Ola Electric is giving buyers the choice to upgrade their scooters with a new front fork in response to safety concerns.
The Bengaluru-based company noted that there have been some concerns amongst the community around the safety of the Ola S1's front fork arm.
"We assure you that this is unfounded. At Ola, all components of our scooters, including the front arm, are thoroughly tested under extreme conditions and are engineered with a factor of safety much higher than the typical loads encountered on vehicles," the Bengaluru-based company said in a statement.
However, as part of continuous engineering and design improvement process, the company has recently upgraded the front fork design to enhance the durability and strength even further, it added.
