@bhash@OlaElectric@varundubey Pic says it all. Mission accomplished ! Just now crossed 202km on single charge on my scooter. It’s time to re-evaluate IDC range in new ECO mode. 50% ride in traffic. 50% ride on highway. pic.twitter.com/vILgbhKXTG

As promised, @karthikbr007, here’s your free Gerua for breaking records with 200kms range in a single charge!
Many ICE 2Ws don’t have this range on a full petrol tank?
The picture was shared on Twitter by Bhavish Aggarwal himself. He said, “As promised, @karthikbr007 , here’s your free Gerua for breaking records with 200kms range in a single charge! Many ICE 2Ws don’t have this range on a full petrol tank? Move OS 2 makes the best scooter in the world even better!”

The Eco mode helps in achieving the maximum riding range possible. As of now, the Eco mode is present only on the Move OS 2.0. Ola Electric will be rolling out Move OS 2.0 to all the users when it is stable to use.
