Ola Electric has launched two, brand-new electric motorcycles in India. The Roadster X and the Roadster are what they are called, with the former being the entry-level motorcycle.
The Roadster X is offered with three different battery options – 2.5kWh, 3.5kWh, and 4.5kWh. Prices begin at Rs. 74,999, Rs. 84,999, and Rs. 99,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Meanwhile, the Roadster can also be bought in three different battery setups – 3 kWh, 4.5kWh, and 6kWh with the prices set at Rs. 1,04,999, Rs. 1,19,999, and Rs. 1,39,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru).
The Roadster X in the trim with the biggest battery has a range of 200km while in the case of the Roadster, the range goes up to 248km.
As for the performance of these bikes, the Roadster X has an 11kW motor that propels the bike from 0-40kmph in 2.8s. The Roadster has a bigger, 13kW motor that allows the bike to sprint from 0-40kmph in 2.2s.
In terms of design, both bikes are largely the same. However, they differ when it comes to hardware. The ‘X’ has a simpler suspension setup with a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels with a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear. The Roadster, meanwhile, has a telescopic fork and a monoshock at the rear. Also, unlike the X, it has a disc brake at the front and rear.
Bookings for the Roadster and the Roadster X will commence soon.
