There is also an option to completely disable the advanced regeneration to access full control over the scooter. 

SmartWatch App

Road Trip Mode

The MoveOS 5 also features a new Road Trip Mode, which is specifically designed to assist users during group rides. This mode helps to display the directions to the destination on the main infotainment screen, along with the information about the other users connected on the ride. 

This ensures proper connectivity between the groups and riders which are able to determine each other’s exact location on the dashboard. 

Bharat Mood

There is also an addition of a new Bharat Mood theme, which is inspired from the national bird of India, the peacock. This theme is designed to provide essential information to the rider which includes range, music controls, riding modes, current speed, trip details, odometer, and time.

The MoveOS 5 has also significantly enhanced the acceleration, range, and overall power of the scooters. Ola says they have optimised the algorithms to provide superior acceleration and also worked on providing enhanced responsiveness. 

They have also improved their battery management systems which helps to increase the range and improve charging performance.
