Ola boss Bhavish Aggarwal got into a feisty Twitter exchange with a user on Tuesday after the latter called out OlaElectric over deep battery discharge of his S1Pro e-bike.
"Tried powering up my S1 Pro yesterday. NOTHING happened! Called the Ola rep who sent a truck pronto to pick up my dead scooter. Shocking that a scooter less than 2months old &under 100km on odo should pack up like this. Smacks of the lax quality culture that plagues @OlaElectric," Hormazd Sorabjee, a user -who is also an editor of a leading auto magazine - wrote on the microblogging website.
