Update on Issue by the User-
“Bengaluru Head of Technical Team has arrived at Bhubaneswar today morning. And diagnosing the issue.”
Thankyou for highlighting my issue.
Can someone say who records a scooter’s display while going to office?
Jisko show off karna hota hai garib
How an electric scooter with a small battery pics up 102 speed in a second. Even an Innova don’t have that much pickup. Just to be in lime light.
Electric torque babe
Electric motors have instant torque, unlike ICE engines they don’t have to build up revs gradually to deliver peak power
So where is this video? The Phone conveniently fell to the ground. If you have any other proofs you can post that instead, like device logs.
It’s not possible to balance any 2 wheeler in reverse position at even very slow speed.
Some thing wrong in this article.
You are right …may be display board shown 120kmph simply ….it is certainly software issue…vehicle can’t be balanced at 120 kmph in reverse. This person can get Guinness record for it if is not lying.
For all those who are saying how can scooter move reverse in 102km of speed.its just the Speedometer Which showed the speed Of 102km but it was a normal reverse acceleration
What if the scoter goes into reverse mode when you are driving it at speed of 102 kpm..?
all those people saying who records while going to office no one does. he was never recording his bike it is very possible he was using his phone for something else when this happened.
also ola claims 40nm of torque (duke 390 has about 37 nm of tourque) 40 nm from a electric motor is instantaneous and very possible for the bike to do 50-60kmph in a couple of seconds but 102 is practically impossible. but even a speed above 20 will be uncontrollable in reverse. and this error is very possible since ola uses software to control the drivetrain. instead of arguing about the man we should make sure ola doesnot sell even one bike without rectifying this grave error.
Can somebody post a msg of “full satisfaction” with his e-scooter/ two wheeler after using a year or more? I need to replace my present old scooter.
Try to understand who can ride in reverse! What he is trying to say is when he was normally riding at 102 kmph the scooter malfunctioned and automatically shifted to reverse mod that’s it!
