Ola Electric S1, Roadster X Motorcycle to Start Getting MoveOS 5 OTA Software Update in India

Ola Electric rolled out its new operating system update 'MoveOS 5' for its entire electric two-wheeler range including the S1 scooter range and Roadster X motorcycle. The update is being delivered via an over-the-air (OTA) process, allowing users to download it directly to their vehicles starting this week.

The MoveOS 5 update includes changes to Ola’s in-house Motor Control Unit (MCU), which is designed to improve energy efficiency, support better battery management and offer more refined regenerative braking. These enhancements aim to deliver a more consistent riding experience and extend vehicle range, especially on Gen 3 platforms.

A new “DIY Mode” allows riders to adjust settings such as top speed, throttle response, power delivery, and regenerative braking. Another feature, “Road-Trip Mode,” supports group travel with live tracking, route planning, and in-app coordination among riders. “Easy Park” adds low-speed directional control for better maneuvering in tight spaces, using the throttle to move forward or backward at a capped speed of 4 kmph.

Riders can now share their live location through the vehicle display or mobile app using “Live Location Sharing.” Emergency contacts can also be alerted in critical situations through “SOS Alerts.” Another addition, “Find My Vehicle,” enables users to locate their vehicle using sound and light signals.

Spokesperson, Ola Electric said, “MoveOS 5 is the latest upgrade in our journey to build the most advanced and intelligent OS for EV two wheelers. This upgrade isn’t just about new features, it fundamentally enhances the performance, reliability, and range of our vehicles. With smarter energy management, real-time system monitoring, more user control over ride settings, we’re enabling our riders to get more out of every ride. MoveOS 5 is a reflection of our commitment to continuous innovation and product evolution and it's been engineered to deliver a riding experience that is not only more personalized, but also more robust, efficient and future-ready.”

The system now includes a Notification Centre that allows selected phone app alerts to appear on the vehicle display, with adjustable visibility settings. Infotainment tools such as a Cricket Widget for live scores and a Weather Widget for location-based updates have also been added.
