At the outset, there are two things you should know about me to set a context of sorts — if I seem serious I'm pretending, and Hormazd Sorabjee gave me my first job at Autocar India. These two facts are also disclaimers for whatever follows. Of late, the world seems to have gone mad, flirting with war and its inevitably disastrous consequences. Whether that's a top-down phenomenon or the other way around, I cannot say. But it is clear that the polarisation of public opinion on the Internet with nothing but a glib social-media post has now a become a monster of its own.
On my way to meet Hormazd Sorabjee, the Ola S1 Pro's Hyper mode hit a solid 117 kph on a its digital dash. Keywords like 'disruptive', 'revolution' and bandwagon' were far from my mind, and I was quite happy riding what was clearly a fun scooter. It looked like a robotic Pixar character and had the right lines in all the right places. A huge underseat storage space held a spare helmet and my bag with lots of space left over. And the big touch screen looked quite trick as well. The S1 Pro delivered all the right feels, all right, but there were still a few things to be sorted.
