To celebrate the start of deliveries, Ola Electric launched a special ‘Ride the Future’ campaign, offering benefits worth ₹10,000 to the first 5,000 customers. These perks include:
Essential care package

MoveOS+ software upgrade
Cutting-Edge Design and Innovation
The Roadster X Series is characterized by its mid-drive motor, bringing not just better performance but also enhancing overall safety. For the first time, Ola has incorporated flat cables in making the bike — an effort to enhance packaging efficiency, lower overall weight, and enhance thermal performance, making the bike more robust and durable for Indian conditions.

The Roadster X series is available in multiple variants tailored to different needs:
- Roadster X: ₹74,999
- Roadster X+ (4.5kWh): ₹1,04,999

(Offers a range of up to 501 km per charge)
Each model offers three ride modes — Eco, Normal, and Sport — giving riders better control and customization based on usage and terrain.

Tech & Safety Features
The Roadster X is not just about power — it’s loaded with smart and safety-first features:
- 11kW electric motor
- Battery options: 2.5kWh (117 km), 3.5kWh (159 km), 4.5kWh (200 km)
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- 4.3-inch LCD display
- Full-LED lighting
- Telescopic front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers
- Front disc and rear drum brakes
Phased Rollout Begins in Bengaluru
Ola is implementing a staggered delivery strategy, starting with Bengaluru and then expanding to other cities in the following weeks. This is a step that allows for smoother logistics and responding to any initial customer performance feedback.
Market Competition
With this launch, the Roadster X directly competes with other electric motorcycles in the Indian market such as the Revolt RV400 and Oben Rorr, offering competitive pricing and advanced features.
Financial Update and Recent Controversies
In spite of this product thrust, Ola Electric has been in the news lately for the wrong reasons. The company has been implicated for running more than 90% of its stores without compulsory trade certificates, and its February 2025 sales numbers revealed a whopping mismatch between reported numbers (25,000 units) and actual registrations on the government’s VAHAN portal (about 8,600 units). Ola explained the gap as a temporary delay after the cancellation of its registration agency deals.
On the revenue side, the company’s net loss rose by 50% to ₹564 crore in Q3 FY25, while its operating revenue declined 19% year-on-year.
