2023 Ola Electric Motorcycle Concepts

Introduction to the Ola Roadster Series

The Ola Roadster series marks the company’s foray into the electric motorcycle segment, a move that has been eagerly awaited since the concept was first showcased last year. This new range includes three distinct variants: the Roadster X, Roadster, and Roadster Pro, each tailored to meet the needs of different riders. Prices for these models start at an impressive Rs 74,999 (ex-showroom), making them competitive in the growing electric two-wheeler market in India.

Design and Build: A Blend of Simplicity and Futurism

The Ola Roadster series is built on a robust double cradle frame, which ensures stability and durability. The design philosophy is a combination of simplicity and futuristic elements, making these bikes stand out on the road. All three models in the series come equipped with sleek LED headlights that enhance visibility, stylish alloy wheels, and a digital instrument console that provides riders with essential information at a glance.

The Roadster Pro, the top-of-the-line model, boasts a more muscular design with wider wheels and tires, emphasizing its sporty nature. This version is designed for those who seek performance and style, without compromising on comfort and functionality.

This variant strikes a balance between performance and range, making it suitable for both city rides and longer commutes.

Ola Roadster Pro:

For those who demand the best, the Roadster Pro is the ultimate choice. It comes with two battery packs—8 kWh and 16 kWh—providing an unparalleled range of up to 579 km. The electric motor in this variant generates a staggering 70 BHP and 105 Nm of torque, allowing the bike to sprint from 0-40 km/h in just 1.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 194 km/h. The Roadster Pro is equipped with a USD front fork, dual disc brakes at the front, a 10-inch touchscreen, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), making it the most feature-rich model in the series.

Ola Electric has ensured that the Roadster series is not just about performance but also about safety and convenience. The electric motorcycles come with safety features like Hill Hold, traction control, and ABS modes, which enhance rider safety in various conditions.
