Ola Roadster X: Unveiling the Future of Electric Motorcycles on February 5th

Ola Roadster X electric bike has been teased at last, before its launch on 5th February 2025, and it is a bold move for India’s premium electric motorcycle segment. This bike is one of the most futuristic in design cues, and comes with competitive pricing starting from ₹1.5 lakh, and features such as a 4.3 inch LCD display and dual shock absorbers that promise to redefine urban mobility. No matter if it’s for the 124 km range, the 14.75 bhp motor or its modular battery packs, Roadster X has something for every auto enthusiast.

1. The Ola Roadster X Electric Bike is a battery powered electric bike.

Ola Roadster X is the brand’s first electric motorcycle that has been teased aggressively on social media before its 5th February launch. As a premium model, the vehicle sports a modular battery system (2.5 kWh to 4.5 kWh), futuristic design with LED headlights and 18 inch alloy wheels. Unlike Ola’s electric scooters, the Roadster X targets performance enthusiasts with a 14.75 bhp motor and a top speed of 124 km/h.

The electric motorcycle is part of Ola’s strategy to dominate the electric two wheeler market in India after the success of its S1X Gen 3 scooter. Teasers released early reveal that it has telescopic front suspension, dual shock absorbers at the rear, and a 4.3 inch LCD dashboard.

2. What makes the Roadster X Launch Significant for India?

The Roadster X electric bike is a product that could help accelerate India’s EV market, which is already booming. Priced from ₹1.5 lakh, it is cheaper than rivals like the 2025 KTM Adventure but has similar specs. As a result, Ola’s focus on swappable batteries (2.5 to 4.5 kWh) also works to mitigate range anxiety, a key hurdle for EV take up.

With this, Ola positions itself as a direct competitor to TVS and Bajaj in the premium motorcycle segment. The Roadster X has 90% localization and could change the affordability of EVs in India.

3. What is the Ola Roadster X Launch Date?

The Roadster X electric bike will launched on 5th February 2025. The date was confirmed by Ola on cryptic social media posts that showed the silhouette of the bike and taglines such as ‘The Future is Electrifying’. Ola’s website is likely to open bookings immediately, and deliveries will begin by March 2025.

4. What Design Features Does the Roadster X Offer?

Sharp and edgy is the design of the Ola Roadster X which has an exposed trellis frame and angular LED headlights. Key highlights include:

• Equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels which helps in better stability.
• Telescopic front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers.
• A 4.3-inch LCD with navigation and ride analytics.
• Multiple riding modes (Eco, Sport, Turbo) accessible via the display.

The Roadster X is unlike traditional motorcycles in that it has a hub mounted motor freeing up space for under seat storage.

5. What’s Under the Hood? Key Specifications Revealed

There has been no holding back from performance from Ola. The Roadster X electric motorcycle packs:

• Peak power: 14.75 bhp.
• Torque: 124 Nm, making 0–40 km/h in 2.8 seconds.
  Range: 85–124 km (depending on the battery pack up to 2.5–4.5 kWh).
• Charging: 0–80% in 3 hours with a standard charger.

Yet, the 2.5 kWh variant of the base model beats most 125cc petrol bikes.

6. How Affordable Is Ola Roadster X Price in India?

The Roadster X electric bike is priced from ₹1.5 lakh (ex showroom) and is cheaper than the 2025 KTM Adventure (₹2.2 lakh) and TVS’s upcoming electric models. Here’s the breakdown:

• Standard: ₹1.5 lakh (2.5 kWh battery).
• Mid-tier: ₹1.8 lakh (3.5 kWh battery).
• Top-spec Pro: ₹2.1 lakh (4.5 kWh battery).

The prices could further be reduced by ₹15,000–30,000 through state subsidies.

7. How Does It Compare to the 2025 KTM Adventure and TVS Models?

The Roadster X faces stiff competition:
2025 KTM Adventure: More expensive (₹2.2 lakh) and gives you more off road capability.

• TVS X: Focuses on urban commuting with a smaller 2 kWh battery.
• Ather 450X: A scooter alternative with similar tech but less power.

First, the modular battery design means Ola is versatile.

8. How Does the Roadster X’s Battery and Range Differ?

Ola’s Roadster X electric bike was the first electric bike to use swappable (and replaceable) lithium ion packs. Riders can choose between:

• 2.5 kWh: Suits city rides with 85 km range.
• 3.5 kWh: 105 km range.
• 4.5 kWh: 124 km range (suitable for highways).

The batteries are 12–18 kg in weight and can be charged at home or swapped at Ola’s Hypercharger stations.

9. The Roadster X will compete with Electric Scooters too?

However, motorcycle DNA aside, the Roadster X features could lure scooter buyers.

• Higher top speed (124 km/h vs. 90 km/h for scooters).
• Superior suspension for rough roads.
• Larger storage under the seat.

Yet, scooters like Ola S1X Gen 3 are cheaper (₹1 lakh) and both segments coexist.

10. Final Thoughts: Is the Ola Roadster X Worth the Hype?

Absolutely. Ola Roadster X is an electric bike with cutting edge specs at disruptive prices that is a complete game changer for the Indian EV market. Rivals like KTM and TVS have niche advantages but no one else can beat Ola’s performance, modularity and affordability package.
