The new Ola S1 Air is the company's first product released as part of its #EndICEAge campaign. They have directly compared the new S1 Air to a number of popular ICE-powered scooters, but not by name, with the goal of dethroning the Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter.

The new S1 Air is built on the same platform as the other S1 siblings, but it is shorter and lighter. The new Air has a range of 101 kilometres (ARAI) and a top speed of 85 kilometres per hour on a single charge. It is claimed to accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 4.3 seconds.

It will be supported in the front by standard telescopic forks and in the back by twin shock absorbers. It will have 4.5 kW (6 HP) of peak power and three ride modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport.
