They are built on the company's scalable motorcycle platform and boast technologies such as brake-by-wire with single ABS, mid-drive motor, integrated motor control unit (MCU), and up to 501 kilometres (km) of claimed range (IDC).

Ola Electric Roadster X series also features flat cables which are claimed to offer efficiency and reduced weight.

The EV bikes were first unveiled in India at the Sankalp 2024 event held at the company's new FutureFactory in Tamil Nadu on August 15.

Ola Electric Roadster X, which is the entry-level option, starts at Rs. 74,999. It is available in 2.5kWh, 3.5kWh, and 4.5kWh battery options.

The Roadster X+'s price in India starts at Rs. 1,04,999 for the 4.5kWh battery pack option. Prospective buyers can also opt for the higher variant with a 9.1kWh battery capacity.

Both electric bikes are available in Industrial Silver, Anthracite, Stellar Blue, Pine Green, and Ceramic White colour options.

The company offers a standard warranty of 3 years or 50,000 km, whichever comes earlier. Deliveries of the Ola Electric Roadster X series will commerce mid March onwards.

The Ola Electric Roadster X series incorporates a mid-drive motor and chain drive technology which is said to deliver optimised performance and reliability. Meanwhile, the MCU is tuned for better efficiency and range.

The EV bikes get brake-by-wire technology which analyses the brake position sensor and modulates the type of braking, choosing between mechanical and regenerative braking.

For maintenance and durability, the company provides a serviceable Battery Management System (BMS) and IP67 waterproof and dust-proof certification.

They are powered by Ola's new proprietary MoveOS 5 which brings features such as Smartwatch App, Smart Park, and Bharat Mood.

The Road Trip mode is powered by the company's in-house Ola Maps. The new OS will also support live location sharing and emergency SOS features for safety, as per Ola.

The entry-level Ola Electric Roadster X gets LED headlamps, a 4-3-inch TFT LCD colour-segmented screen, front disc brakes, and turn-by-turn navigation capabilities.

The company has also adopted Ola Electric S1 Pro's features such as cruise control and reverse mode and introduced them with this offering.
