Ola asks the man who sued the company to remove all negative posts against it, while another 65-year-old customer 'severely injured’

• Ola Electric has asked Balwant Singh, a man who has accused the company of his son’s accident, to remove all negative posts against the company.
• Singh’s son met with an accident while riding Ola Electric’s S1 Pro in Guwahati in April 2022.
• A Jodhpur man flagged a software bug in Ola Electric after his 65-year-old father suffered a severe head injury in an accident.

Ola Electric has asked Balwant Singh, a customer who has accused the scooter maker of his son’s accident, to remove all negative posts against the company in the next 24 hours. The company has also asked Singh to refrain from making any “defamatory posts” against Ola Electric on social media.

This came as a response to the legal notice sent by Singh to Ola Electric.

Singh’s son met with an accident while riding Ola Electric’s S1 Pro in Guwahati in April 2022. Singh alleged that the accident was caused due to fault in regenerative braking, which increased the spread of the scooter instead of slowing it down on a speed breaker.

Ola alleged that the accident was a result of overspeeding and $4 with the user’s telemetry data on social media. Singh, in response, sent a legal notice to the company for publishing his scooter’s telemetry data in public.

Singh isn’t the only one who has raised concerns over Ola Electric scooter’s technology. Last month, an Ola Electric S1 Pro owner in Tamil Nadu set his scooter on fire reportedly due to inadequate performance and erratic range of the electric scooter.
