How good is the software and app connectivity of the Ola S1 Pro?
The promise of the Ola S1 Pro smart scooter include connectivity through the app, OTA updates, and even riding modes. But, bugs in software, app connectivity problems and unreliable features have been reported. Some users love the tech integration, while others hate the tech integration. Now, let’s talk about real world experiences with the S1 Pro’s software ecosystem, reliability, and whether or not the smart features make the riding experience better or worse.
The software is hit or miss. It works flawlessly some days, and it's a nightmare other days. I have had the app not connect, the app randomly reboot, and laggy UI. While it’s getting better with updates, it’s not 100% reliable.
To be honest I’ve had a pretty good time with the software. It's sure to have some occasional hiccups, but nothing major. In fact, the OTA updates have made the scooter better over time.
The joke of the app connectivity. It's half the time doesn't work, and half the time when it does it's slow. I've abandoned the app features and use the scooter as a regular EV.
It's a mixed bag. They're cool when they work, but they're not necessary. I can’t get enough of cruise control and riding modes, but I’m good without app connectivity.
Actually, I enjoy the software aspect as a tech enthusiast. It's exciting to see new features roll out, but yes there are bugs. You get a new scooter with each major update.
It’s been a lot more reliable since launch. The early adopters had it rough, but if you’re buying now, the experience is much smoother. Just don't expect smartphone-level responsiveness.
I think people expect the software to do too much. It's not a smartphone, it's a scooter. So as long as it gets me from A to B safely and efficiently I'm happy. It’s the smart features that are just a bonus.
