Introduction
Ola Electric has recently launched the Move OS 4 update introducing an array of innovative features and enhancements to its electric scooter lineup. This comprehensive update encompasses the Ola S1 Pro, Ola S1 Air, and the Ola S1X range. Initially rolled out as a Beta version in 2023 with 50,000 beta users contributing valuable insights the final version of Move OS 4 has now been officially released.
User Interface Tweaks for Enhanced Accessibility
One of the notable improvements in Move OS 4 is the refined user interface. The goal of this makeover is to make frequently used elements easier to access so that users can operate the scooter more effortlessly. The whole user experience is improved and the scooter's user-friendliness is increased by the streamlining of user interactions.
Dedicated Ola Maps for Personalized Navigation
Move OS 4 introduces dedicated Ola Maps providing riders with a specialized navigation system. Beyond the standard navigation features, this functionality offers 'Find My Scooter' and 'Share location from app.' Now, travelers can add a level of convenience to their travels by marking their favourite sites making their travels more personalised.
AI-Based Indicator Control for Seamless Riding
An innovative addition is the AI-Based Indicator Control. By automating the control of the scooter's indicators this function lessens the rider's need for human commands. Over time, the system picks up on rider preferences adjusting to suit different riding styles and offering a more seamless and customised riding experience.
Enhanced Safety Features
Safety is a paramount concern, and Move OS 4 addresses this with new safety features. The introduction of a tamper alert and fall alert, both powered by artificial intelligence, enhances the scooter's ability to detect and respond to potential risks. Additionally, the hill descent control feature has been integrated to monitor the scooter's speed during downhill rides, offering riders improved control and safety.
Geofencing and Time Fencing for Added Security
Move OS 4 incorporates geofencing and time fencing functionalities to bolster security measures. Geofencing allows users to define specific operational boundaries for their e-scooters, adding an extra layer of control. Time fencing introduces a time-based system, enabling users to specify periods during which a secondary rider can use the scooter, providing enhanced security options.
Improved Existing Features
Existing features, including cruise control, hill hold, and proximity unlock, have undergone refinement in Move OS 4. Notably, cruise control is now available in Eco mode, adding to the convenience of riders. These improvements contribute to a more polished and user-friendly riding experience.
Biometric App Lock and Passcode Recovery for Enhanced Security
To address security concerns, Ola has introduced a biometric app lock feature, utilizing facial recognition or fingerprint authentication through the smartphone application. Additionally, a passcode recovery option via cloud and Bluetooth is available for instances where riders forget their passcodes, ensuring continued access to the scooter.
Garage Mode for Managing Multiple Scooters
Move OS 4 introduces a practical 'Garage Mode,' allowing users to manage multiple scooters conveniently from the Ola app interface. This feature enhances the overall user experience, particularly for riders with multiple Ola electric scooters.
Entertaining Features: 'Care Mood,' 'Concert Mode,' and 'Ride Journal'
Ola has infused a touch of entertainment into Move OS 4 with features like 'Care Mood,' providing riders with insights into their savings and carbon emissions avoided. 'Concert Mode' adds a fun element, enabling riders to play the same song on multiple scooters, creating a coordinated light show for a spontaneous concert experience. The 'Ride Journal' feature provides riders with comprehensive statistics on their riding journey, allowing them to track and share milestones.
With these comprehensive updates, Ola's electric scooter lineup stands as one of the most feature-packed offerings in the country. The hope is that these features not only work seamlessly but also contribute to an enhanced and enjoyable riding experience. As riders embark on their journeys with Move OS 4, Ola aims to set a new standard for electric scooter technology and user satisfaction.
