This Friday, a new buzz will ripple through the streets of India not from the growl of petrol engines, but from the quiet confidence of Ola Electric’s latest innovation: the Roadster X electric motorcycle. For many, this isn’t just the delivery of a new bike; it’s a symbol of hope, progress, and the promise of a cleaner tomorrow.
A Dream Realized for Indian Riders
When Bhavish Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Ola Electric, took to social media to announce, “Roadster X deliveries starting this Friday! Excited to see customers experience our bike,” he wasn’t just sharing a business update—he was inviting Indians to be part of a movement. After months of anticipation, delays, and growing excitement, the Roadster X is finally ready to meet its first owners.
Launched officially in February 2025, the Roadster X series has been the talk of the town for its blend of affordability, innovation, and sustainability. The entry-level Roadster X starts at just ₹74,999 (ex-showroom), making it accessible to a wide range of riders. For those seeking more power and range, the Roadster X+ 4.5kWh comes in at ₹1,04,999, while the top-of-the-line Roadster X+ 9.1kWh, powered by the advanced 4680 Bharat Cell, offers a staggering 501 km on a single charge at ₹1,54,999.
Features That Speak to the Modern Rider
The Roadster X isn’t just about clean energy—it’s about smart, connected riding. Riders will find a 4.3-inch LCD display with USB connectivity, three customizable ride modes (Eco, Normal, Sport), regenerative braking, cruise control, and even reverse mode for those tricky parking spots5. Safety hasn’t been overlooked, with features like tyre pressure alerts, geo and time fencing, tow and theft alerts, and a single-channel ABS with brake-by-wire technology.
For tech-savvy users, over-the-air updates ensure the bike stays current with the latest features and improvements. The design is practical, with 17-inch alloy wheels, telescopic forks, and dual springs, balancing comfort and performance for India’s diverse roads.
A Milestone for Clean Tech in India
The Roadster X’s arrival is more than a product launch—it’s a milestone in India’s journey toward sustainable mobility. Ola Electric’s Futurefactory in Tamil Nadu has been buzzing with activity, rolling out the Roadster X series after overcoming delays linked to homologation and regulatory processes. The company reported an impressive 1,395 bookings in February alone, reflecting the pent-up demand for affordable electric motorcycles in the country.
Bhavish Aggarwal captured the spirit of the moment, saying, “Today’s roll-out celebrates not just a new product but a new era for us and the industry, as it represents the next phase of revolution in electric mobility. We are excited for our customers to experience the Roadster X on the roads very soon, a product that is set to redefine motorcycling in India”.
The Road Ahead
As the first Roadster X bikes make their way to customers this Friday, the excitement is palpable—not just among the buyers, but across India’s clean tech and automotive sectors. Ola Electric’s bold step is expected to inspire a new generation of riders to choose electric, helping India inch closer to its ambitious sustainability goals.
For many, the Roadster X isn’t just a bike but a statement. It’s proof that Indian innovation can lead the way in clean technology, making sustainable mobility not just a dream, but a reality for millions.
