Ola Electric has officially unveiled its first electric motorcycle, the Roadster X, marking its entry into the e-bike segment.

With production already underway at the Futurefactory in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, deliveries are expected to begin in mid-March 2025.
Here’s a complete breakdown of what the Ola Roadster X and X+ bring to the table.
Design
Staying true to Ola’s design philosophy, the Roadster X features a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with edgy body panels. The battery pack is smartly housed under a faux fuel tank, which also doubles as a small storage space.

Ola is offering the Roadster X in five color options:
- Ceramic White
- Pine Green
