Fed up with its low performance, Tamil Nadu man sets his Ola scooter on fire

At a time when some electric two-wheelers are catching fire spontaneously, a Tamil Nadu physiotherapist, fed up with his Ola scooter’s poor performance and service, set the vehicle on fire.

“I had set my Ola scooter on fire as it did not give the mileage as promised by the manufacturer, and the poor service,” G. Prithviraj told IANS.

Prithiviraj said he had bought an Ola scooter in January and it was delivered to his hometown Ambur.

According to him, he started facing problems with the vehicle from January end onwards like noise due to improper fitting of the panels, issues with the brakes, and more importantly, the low mileage – about one-third as against the promised mileage of about 180 km per battery charge.
