Ola Electric, India’s leading electric scooter manufacturer, has blamed aftermarket parts for a fire incident with one of its scooters in Pune, Maharashtra.

The incident occurred on October 29, 2023, when an Ola S1 Pro scooter caught fire while it was parked in a residential area. The fire was brought under control by the fire brigade, but the scooter was completely destroyed.

Ola Electric has released a statement stating that the fire was caused by aftermarket parts that had been fitted to the scooter. The company also stated that it is investigating the incident and will take necessary action against the dealer who fitted the aftermarket parts to the scooter.

Aftermarket parts are parts that are not manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). These parts can be cheaper than OEM parts, but they may not be as safe or reliable.

Ola Electric has warned its customers against fitting aftermarket parts to their scooters. The company has stated that aftermarket parts can void the warranty on the scooter and can also pose a safety hazard.

Here are some of the safety risks associated with fitting aftermarket parts to electric scooters:

  • Aftermarket parts may not be manufactured to the same quality standards as OEM parts. This means that they may fail prematurely or may not perform as expected.
  • Aftermarket parts may not be compatible with the scooter’s electrical system. This can lead to electrical problems, including fires.
  • Aftermarket parts may not be designed for the specific model of scooter. This can lead to performance problems and safety hazards.

Here are some tips for staying safe when riding an electric scooter:

  • Only fit OEM parts to your scooter.
  • Get your scooter serviced regularly by an authorized service center.
  • Be aware of the signs of a battery fire, such as smoke, heat, or a burning smell. If you see any of these signs, pull over immediately and stop riding the scooter.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher close by when you are riding your scooter.

Conclusion

The fire incident with the Ola S1 Pro scooter in Pune is a reminder of the importance of using OEM parts and getting your scooter serviced regularly by an authorized service center. If you are considering fitting aftermarket parts to your electric scooter, be sure to do your research and choose parts from a reputable manufacturer.
