She was riding her @OlaElectric<\/a> at 9.15pm at a speed of about 35kmph when her front wheel just broke out of the suspension.She was thrown away in front and is in the ICU facing severe injuries.

As per the victim\u2019s husband, the Ola S1 Pro\u2019s front suspension gave way, dislodging the front wheel completely. This led to a serious accident in which the woman faced injuries to her head and face. The husband mentioned that the victim is receiving treatment in an ICU. The woman was said to have been travelling at a low 35kmph pace but it\u2019s unclear if she was wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n

Ola has not yet commented on the incident officially and there is no response to the tweet yet. Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal was tagged in the post but he too has refrained from responding. There is also no word from the local police on the incident.<\/p>\n

However, this is not the first time that an Ola electric scooter has faced such a fate. Previously multiple owners had tweeted about similar issues where the front wheel would snap off the EV possibly due to a malfunction in the front suspension. While the scooter has been on sale for over a year, issues still persist with the build quality according to users.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
