Ola Roadster Updates

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 12:25 PM Ola Electric has highlighted that the Roadster series will support advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), 5G compatibility, and smart & connected vehicle capabilities. The modular architecture of the motorcycles is designed to be future-ready, accommodating higher performance needs and supporting various battery sizes up to 7.5 kWh. I believe this forward-thinking design will keep the Roadster relevant for years to come.

Wednesday, 25 September 2024 02:47 PM The Ola Roadster series is expected to save buyers a significant amount on running costs compared to traditional petrol-powered motorcycles. According to Ola, switching to the Roadster can save up to Rs. 21,138 in a year, considering factors like EMI, maintenance, and fuel costs. I think this cost savings will be a major incentive for potential buyers.

Friday, 20 September 2024 01:14 PM Ola Electric is offering an industry-first 8-year battery warranty for the entire Roadster series, which includes the Roadster X, Roadster, and Roadster Pro models. This warranty is expected to provide buyers with long-term peace of mind regarding battery durability. I believe this warranty will be a significant selling point.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 01:25 PM The design of the Ola Roadster is described as sleek and futuristic, with a balance between commuter and sporty elements. The motorcycles are available in a palette of ten vivid colors in glossy and matte finishes. The overall design philosophy emphasizes purity, essence, and modernity. I think the design will appeal to a wide range of buyers looking for a stylish electric motorcycle.

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 09:11 AM Ola Electric has integrated several smart features into the Roadster series, including proximity lock and unlock, tyre pressure monitoring, tamper alert, and projector LED lights. The motorcycles also come with single-channel ABS and advanced regen features. The MoveOS 5 update will add more features like ADAS and three-level traction control. I believe these tech advancements will enhance safety and convenience.

Thursday, 05 September 2024 09:36 PM The Ola Roadster series comes with multiple battery options, including 3.5 kWh, 4.5 kWh, and 6 kWh, offering certified ranges of 151 km, 190 km, and 249 km respectively. All models feature a 13 kW motor setup and vary in top speed and acceleration. The charging time for these batteries ranges from 3.3 hours to 5.9 hours for 0-80% charge. I think the range options will cater well to different user needs.

Friday, 30 August 2024 12:46 PM Bhavish Aggarwal, Founder and CMD of Ola Electric, emphasized during the Sankalp 2024 event that the Roadster series is part of their strategy to accelerate EV adoption in Indias two-wheeler market. He highlighted that Olas entry into the motorcycle segment will further boost EV penetration, building on their success in the scooter segment. I believe this move will significantly impact the Indian EV market.

Sunday, 25 August 2024 07:57 PM Ola Electrics Roadster Pro is set to be the fastest motorcycle in the commuter segment, powered by a 52 kW motor with 105 Nm torque. It accelerates from 0-40 km/h in just 1.2 seconds and has a top speed of 194 km/h. The 16 kWh battery variant offers an IDC-certified range of 579 km, making it both fast and efficient. The Roadster Pro also features a 10-inch TFT touchscreen and two-channel switchable ABS. I think the performance specs of the Roadster Pro are impressive and could set a new benchmark.

Thursday, 22 August 2024 07:35 AM The Ola Roadster series boasts advanced features such as a 7-inch TFT touchscreen display, adaptive boost for extra power, and industry-leading auto hill hold. It also includes four ride modes – Hyper, Sports, Normal, and Eco – and comes with a robust double cradle frame architecture for improved safety. The integration of MoveOS 5 enhances the riding experience with features like Ola Maps Navigation and OTA updates. I believe these features will make the Roadster a compelling choice in the electric motorcycle market.

Thursday, 15 August 2024 07:44 AM Ola Electric has started reservations for the Roadster series, with prices starting from Rs. 74,999 for the 2.5 kWh model, Rs. 84,999 for the 3.5 kWh, and Rs. 99,999 for the 4.5 kWh variant. The higher-end models, including the Roadster and Roadster Pro, are priced from Rs. 1,04,999 to Rs. 2,49,999. Delivery is expected to begin in Q4 FY25 for most models. I think the pricing strategy is quite competitive and could attract a lot of buyers.

Monday, 03 March 2025 09:39 AM Ola Electric has commenced the production of the Ola Roadster X, with deliveries set to begin by the end of January 2025 or the beginning of February 2025. The bike is available in three variants with battery packs of 2.5 kWh, 3.5 kWh, and 4.5 kWh, priced at Rs 74,999, Rs 84,999, and Rs 99,999 respectively. The top speed and range vary across variants, with the highest variant reaching 124 kmph and offering a 200 km range.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 02:19 PM The Ola Roadster X and Roadster X+ were launched on February 5, 2025, featuring cutting-edge technologies like Flat Cable and Brake-by-Wire. The Roadster X+ comes with 4.5 kWh and 9.1 kWh battery options, offering ranges of up to 252 km and 501 km respectively. The bikes also include a 4.3-inch color LED screen, all-LED lighting, and cruise control. I think these features make the Ola Roadster X+ a strong contender in the electric motorcycle market.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 02:40 PM Ola Electrics Roadster X+ is priced at an introductory price of Rs 1,04,999 for the 9.1 kWh variant, which offers a substantial range of 501 km. The bike features single-channel ABS, a front disc brake, and Ola’s patented brake-by-wire technology. It also comes in five different color schemes. The use of made-in-India 4680 Bharat cells in the 9.1 kWh battery pack is a significant innovation.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 02:40 AM The Ola Roadster X series is set to revolutionize Indias electric two-wheeler market with its advanced technology and competitive pricing. The bikes feature an integrated Motorcycle Control Unit and Ola RideOS 5, enhancing performance and user experience. The Flat Cable technology reduces wiring harness weight and improves durability. I believe this focus on innovation will strengthen Ola’s market position significantly.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 01:37 AM The Ola Roadster X and Roadster X+ are equipped with three riding modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport, allowing riders to adjust for maximum performance or range. The bikes also feature regenerative braking, which helps recover energy during deceleration. This technology is expected to increase the range by 15 percent and double the brake pad life.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 02:06 AM Ola Electric has introduced the Roadster X and Roadster X+ with a mid-mounted motor and chain drive, enhancing the bikes performance. The 9.1 kWh variant of the Roadster X+ accelerates from 0 to 40 kmph in just 3.1 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 125 kmph. This makes it one of the fastest electric motorcycles in its segment.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 07:20 PM The launch of the Ola Roadster X and Roadster X+ has boosted Ola Electric’s stock, with shares rising 1.07 percent on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Analysts believe these new models will strengthen Ola’s market position in the electric vehicle sector. However, concerns remain about after-sales service and potential sell-offs post-lock-in periods.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 02:50 AM Ola Electrics Roadster X series features an all-LED lighting system, enhancing visibility and styling. The bikes also come with cruise control, which improves long-distance comfort, and a reverse mode to help maneuver in tight spaces. These features are designed to enhance the overall riding experience. I think the inclusion of these features shows Olas commitment to user convenience.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 06:49 AM The Ola Roadster X and Roadster X+ are competitively priced, with introductory discounts of Rs 15,000 applicable to all models. Orders for the bikes opened on February 5, 2025, with deliveries set to start in mid-March 2025. This pricing strategy is expected to attract a broad audience in the Indian market.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 09:52 AM Ola Electrics focus on innovation, including the use of standardized connectors made in India, eliminates the need for imported parts and improves durability. The Flat Cable technology reduces the wiring harness weight significantly, from 4 kg to 800 grams. This innovation is a step towards making electric motorcycles more efficient and reliable.

Monday, 02 June 2025 07:41 PM Ola Roadster X deliveries have finally started across India as of June 2025, after multiple delays from the original launch timeline set for early 2025. This marks a significant milestone for Ola Electric as the bike moves from promises to real customer hands. I think the delayed deliveries show Olas challenges but also its commitment to quality before full rollout.

Tuesday, 15 April 2025 06:02 PM The design of the Ola Roadster is quite polarizing with sharp angular lines and a floating section giving it a modern, cyberpunk vibe. However, close inspection reveals some quality issues like panel gaps and inconsistent welds. I think the look is fresh and bold but the build quality could use more refinement to match the premium pricing.

Friday, 11 April 2025 05:48 AM After starting production, the first Ola Roadster X units rolled out from their factory in April 2025, officially kicking off deliveries. This development ended months of speculation about delays. I believe seeing these bikes on roads will help Ola fine-tune product feedback and improve aftersales.

Thursday, 10 April 2025 09:30 AM Ola’s Roadster X features a simple LCD instrument cluster that displays basic information, focusing more on the electric powertrain performance than bells and whistles. The limited feature set contrasts with its futuristic exterior, leaving some tech-hungry buyers wanting more. I feel Ola prioritized function and price but has room to add smart features later.

Wednesday, 05 February 2025 10:18 AM Ola Electric officially launched the Roadster X in February 2025, announcing a March delivery that later slipped to April, reflecting ongoing production hurdles. The company began charging full price before starting deliveries, stirring some buyer concerns in the market. From my perspective, charging upfront shows confidence but also risks customer trust if schedules slip again.

Tuesday, 21 January 2025 02:01 AM Ola Roadster X was showcased at Auto Expo 2025, drawing public and industry attention to its edgy, cyberpunk-inspired design and electric drivetrain. The event helped clarify specs and features ahead of deliveries. I believe the Auto Expo exposure boosted Ola’s credibility as it positioned itself seriously in the electric motorcycle market.

Tuesday, 21 January 2025 07:36 AM In early 2025, Ola’s leadership shared social media glimpses of the Roadster X being ridden, signaling production progress and ramp-up readiness. This helped keep interest alive during the waiting period for deliveries. I feel such engagement builds a community eager to adopt electric motorcycles despite delays.

Thursday, 15 August 2024 01:13 PM Ola initially announced the Roadster X and standard Roadster with launch bookings in August 2024, promising deliveries by January 2025 and a Pro version by Diwali 2025. The multiple timeline shifts reflect development challenges in electric two-wheelers in India. I think Ola’s ambition is high, but realistic deliveries take time, especially with new tech.

Saturday, 20 July 2024 09:27 AM There’s ongoing market speculation about the pricing and positioning of the Ola Roadster series, with bookings in the range of Rs. 1.25 lakh to Rs. 2.6 lakh depending on the variant. Buyers weigh these costs against traditional petrol motorcycles and other e-bikes. Personally, I see Ola’s prices as aggressive for India’s market but competitive given the specs and tech offered.
