Ola Electric is ready to begin deliveries of its first electric motorcycle, the Roadster X, starting 23 May. Announced through Ola’s social channels, this marks a key moment as the brand steps into the motorcycle space after establishing its scooter lineup.
The rollout will be phased, meaning the bike won’t hit all cities at once. Bengaluru will be the first to get it, allowing Ola to gather early feedback and address initial issues before expanding distribution.
Motor
The Roadster X runs on an 11kW electric motor, offering enough power for daily rides and occasional highway use. While detailed specs are yet to be released, the setup positions it well within the entry-level e-motorcycle class.
It’s available with three battery sizes, tailored to different rider needs—from short city commutes to longer trips.
Battery
Here are the battery options and claimed ranges:
| Battery | Claimed Range |
|---|---|
| 2.5kWh | 117 km |
| 3.5kWh | 159 km |
| 4.5kWh | 200 km |
The 4.5kWh version is ideal for riders needing maximum range from a single charge.
Features
Ola has equipped the Roadster X with a well-rounded feature set. It includes three ride modes—Sport, Normal, and Eco—for flexible performance. A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) adds a layer of safety, rarely seen in this category.
A 4.3-inch LCD display handles ride data, while full LED lighting ensures visibility and a clean look.
Hardware
Built for balanced performance, the bike uses telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks. Braking comes via a front disc and rear drum setup—simple yet sufficient for its power.
