For construction, both models are planned to be dozens of times cheaper than scooters with internal combustion engines (ICE). Due to their low operating costs, Ola Electric’s scooters claim that the running costs of these vehicles are 93.4% lower than ICE scooters, making them a desirable product for commercial use.Gig commercial e-scooter

Design and Build

The Ola Gig and Gig Plus share a robust and utilitarian build, tailored to the demands of commercial operations:

• Wheels and Suspension: Both scooters have 12-inch tires with telescopic forks at the front and dual spring suspension at the rear, which can provide a comfortable ride even on rough city roads.
• Braking: The braking system is drum type at both ends for ease and reliability.

The Ola Gig is essentially practical in design, and while the Gig Plus offers color options and additional body panels, it is not flashy. That said, both scooters are quite utilitarian; they both have good luggage capacity, and both scream form over function.

Target Audience

It is worth noting that the Ola Gig and Gig Plus are clearly targeting the business segment with riders such as delivery workers, fleet owners, and businessmen. These factors, along with cost, low operating costs, and convenient charging infrastructure, make them a force multiplier for industries that rely on two-wheeler transport for last-mile deliveries.
