Ola Electric scooter burned during test ride
We are not saying that the above incident is not as shocking. This is because it was also a very new 4-month-old scooter that caught fire. However, this does not come close to the shocking factor of an Ola Electric scooter catching on fire during a test ride. Yes, you heard that right.
An Ola Electric scooter caught on fire during a test ride in Kerala. The video of this unique incident taking place was shared on Instagram. During this particular test ride, the person recording the video was seen riding the scooter normally. He was accelerating periodically to test the scooter’s performance.
However, after some time what happened was there was smoke coming out from underneath the seat. The rider then immediately stopped the scooter on the side of the road. He also distanced himself from the scooter and recorded the incident. It was noted that the scooter was first emitting dark smoke.
Finally, moments later, it turned into a fireball and it completely burned down. It was reported that the rider or some locals called the fire brigade. And by the time they arrived at the spot, the scooter had been burning for quite some time.
Why did these Ola Scooters burn?
At the moment, the exact reason behind the fire of this scooter from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, and the scooter from Kerala has not been reported. It could be due to a number of reasons. However, it has to be said that these most likely are not the last Ola Electric fires and there could be more in the future if the company does not take proper actions.
