Due to Ola electric scooter accident 65-year-old severely injured
By MYBRANDBOOK
A Jodhpur man has flagged a software bug in Ola electric scooters after his father suffered a severe head injury in an accident. Pallav Maheshwari wrote that a software bug in Ola electric is causing its scooters to go in reverse mode at full speed.
Something similar happened to Maheshwari’s 65-year-old father, who brought the scooter inside his house to park. “The software bug in the #olaelectric scooter of going in the reverse mode at full speed has severely injured my father,” Maheshwari wrote in a LinkedIn post.
Describing the extent of his father’s injuries he continued: “He was only taking the scooter from outside the house to park inside. He has banged his head on a wall with almost the skull open (with 10 stitches now) and broken his left arm which would have to be operated with 2 plates inserted.”
Maheshwari urged Ola to recall scooters or fix the glitch as he criticised the company for putting the safety of its customers at risk with “poorly tested” products.
This is a known issue in Ola scooters and has been flagged multiple times in the past – just last month, a Twitter user wrote of how his scooter switched to reverse mode and ended up crashing. Several Ola customers have complained about the reverse mode accelerator glitch, along with other issues like the scooters stopping abruptly and EV fires. Ola is facing a storm of criticism over its electric scooters.
