Ola Gen 3 platform: New powertrain
First up, there is a new powertrain. Now, all scooters will get a mid-drive electric motor. When compared to the hub motor, it is four times more energy efficient and five times more reliable. The new motor now integrates the MCU.
Ola Gen 3 platform: Chain drive
Earlier, the scooters were using a belt drive. It is now replaced by a chain drive. This change improves energy efficiency by 2 per cent and acceleration by 10 per cent. Moreover, the chain will have a two times longer life than the belt drive. The torque should also be higher and Ola says that the chain will make the same amount of noise as a belt drive.
Ola Gen 3 platform: Brake-by-wire
All vehicles that are based on the Gen 3 platform will be using brake-by-wire and will get a single-channel anti-lock braking system. However, few vehicles will also get a dual-channel anti-lock braking system. The brake-by-wire will also help increase the range by 15 per cent as it uses brake regeneration. This will also help in increasing the life of the brake pads.
