In a significant move to strengthen its electric mobility business, Ola Electric is launching its long-awaited Roadster X electric motorcycle in India tomorrow. The firm, following the success of its third-gen electric scooters, is foraying into the electric motorcycle space with this high-performance, entry-level electric motorcycle. Although Ola Electric had previously launched three prototype models of the Roadster bike last year, the mass-production commercial launch of Roadster X is a critical milestone towards the company’s mission to revolutionize the electric two-wheeler space.
Mass production of this new bike started in January 2025 at Ola’s state-of-the-art Future Factory in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu. As a part of its vision to build an end-to-end ecosystem of electric vehicles, Ola Electric desires to capture the urban and semi-urban space with an aspirational and accessible electric motorcycle solution.

The Roadster X will be offered in three distinct variants based on their battery packs: 2.5kWh, 3.5kWh, and 4.5kWh. Prices for the variants will be Rs 74,999, Rs 84,999, and Rs 99,999, respectively. The motorcycle will be available for pre-booking by the customers for a small fee of Rs 999 on Ola Electric’s official portal. In order to appeal to a wide variety of customer preferences, the Roadster X will be offered in five vibrant colors.
Battery Packs and Performance Overview
The Ola Roadster X will be equipped with a high-performance electric motor with 11kW peak power. Its performance will be directly proportional to the capacity of the battery pack chosen by the customer:
