No more dull analog meters. The Ola Gig has a complete AI-powered smart dashboard doubling as a co-rider, and is not just a mere display. With a big touchscreen TFT display, it presents you with real-time data such as range, battery condition, route recommendations, traffic updates and even tips for riding like a pro.
