Ola Roadster

Ola Roadster overview

The Ola Roadster is a commuter-style electric bike from Ola Electric, engineered on a purpose-built electric platform with a mid-mounted motor, telescopic front fork, and rear monoshock. It gets diamond-cut alloy wheels and a clean minimalist design language that clearly differentiates it from the more entry-level Roadster X.

Key highlights include a 13 kW peak BLDC mid-drive motor, three battery options for different range needs, a claimed top speed of 126 km/h on 4.5 kWh and 6 kWh variants, four riding modes — Hyper, Sports, Normal, and Eco — and a 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen running on MoveOS. Feature highlights include proximity unlock, digital keyless entry, cruise control, turn-by-turn navigation via Ola Maps, tyre pressure monitoring system, hill hold, tamper alert, a party mode, and full-LED lighting.

The 3.5 kWh variant claims 151 km of range, the 4.5 kWh claims 190 km, and the top 6 kWh variant claims 248 km. Braking is handled by front and rear disc brakes with single-channel ABS. The Ola Roadster is available currently in a single standard colour scheme.

Ola Roadster price in India

The Ola Roadster is available in three clearly priced battery variants, each aimed at a specific daily range need. The base 3.5 kWh is ideal for daily city use, the 4.5 kWh covers extended commutes, and the 6 kWh is suited for long-range riders.

Knowing which variant suits your daily riding distance helps you avoid over-specifying or under-specifying the battery, giving you the best value from your purchase.

Ola Roadster specifications and features

The Ola Roadster is powered by a 13 kW BLDC mid-drive motor with 58 Nm of peak torque, delivering a 0 to 40 km/h sprint in 2.4 seconds for the base variant and 2.2 seconds on higher trims. A 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen, four riding modes, proximity unlock, and ABS make this a genuinely tech-forward commuter electric motorcycle at this price.

Why it matters: A 13 kW mid-drive motor, 6.8-inch TFT with MoveOS, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring, and range up to 248 km per charge in a motorcycle starting below Rs. 1.05 lakh makes the Roadster one of the most specification-dense electric motorcycles in the Indian market at launch price.

General specifications

The Ola Roadster's general profile positions it as a commuter street motorcycle with a clean, modern design that avoids the bulky proportions of many electric bikes in this segment. Available in a single colour scheme at launch, it targets urban and peri-urban riders looking for long range and smart features over aggressive styling.

Engine and transmission

The Ola Roadster's 13 kW mid-mounted BLDC motor delivers instant torque from a standstill, making it rapid off the line in city traffic. The 0 to 40 km/h time of 2.4 seconds on the base variant improves to 2.2 seconds on the 4.5 kWh and 6 kWh trims. The single-speed automatic transmission requires no gear changes, keeping the riding experience smooth and effortless in heavy urban stop-start conditions.

Features and safety

The Ola Roadster carries a strong feature set relative to its ex-showroom price. The 6.8-inch TFT touchscreen with Ola Maps turn-by-turn navigation, tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control, digital key unlock, and tamper alert are all unusual for this price bracket. Single-channel ABS on disc brakes at both ends adds meaningful safety for daily highway and city riding.

Dimensions and capacity

The Ola Roadster is built around compact and agile dimensions suited to urban commuting and light highway riding. An 805 mm seat height and 160 mm ground clearance provide a comfortable and confident riding posture for most Indian riders. The 34-litre underseat storage is a practical addition for everyday carrying needs.

Tyres and brakes

The braking setup on the Ola Roadster is disc-both-ends with single-channel ABS for confident stopping power. The alloy wheels with tubeless tyres reduce the risk and inconvenience of punctures during daily commutes. The telescopic front fork and rear monoshock together provide a stable, planted feel across typical urban and peri-urban road surfaces.

Motor and battery

The Ola Roadster's battery range spans 3.5 kWh to 6 kWh with IDC-certified ranges of 151 km to 248 km respectively. All three battery capacities are paired with the same 13 kW motor. Charging time varies from approximately 4.6 hours (0 to 80 percent) for the 3.5 kWh up to 7.9 hours for the 6 kWh variant, making overnight home charging the most practical daily approach.

Underpinnings

The Ola Roadster is built on a sheet metal frame with a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock. This suspension combination is tuned for daily urban commuting and provides adequate compliance over typical urban road surfaces. The alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, and stiff-yet-manageable suspension setup give the Roadster a stable and predictable handling character.

Warranty features

The Ola Roadster comes with a standard Ola Electric manufacturer warranty. For specific warranty terms, duration, and coverage on the battery and motor, buyers are advised to confirm details with the nearest authorised Ola Electric Experience Centre before purchase, as terms may vary by variant.

Compare model with similar models

The Ola Roadster sits at an interesting crossroads in the Indian two-wheeler market, competing directly against petrol commuter motorcycles in the Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 1.4 lakh bracket and other electric motorcycles. Its 13 kW motor, 116 km/h top speed, and up to 248 km range set a high bar for rivals to match at this price point.

Comparing across fuel types is important here, since the Roadster's running costs are dramatically lower than any petrol motorcycle in this price range.

Advantages of getting a two-wheeler on EMI

Financing the Ola Roadster through a two-wheeler loan allows you to spread the upfront cost across monthly instalments without putting all your savings into a single payment. This is particularly valuable for an electric motorcycle, where you want to preserve cash for accessories, home charging setup, and insurance.

Choosing the right EMI tenure before you apply means you can match monthly payments to your household income. A shorter tenure reduces the total interest paid while a longer tenure reduces the monthly instalment, giving you flexibility depending on your cash flow position at the time of purchase.

The Ola Roadster's near-zero fuel and maintenance costs mean that the savings on running expenses each month can partly offset the EMI amount, making the total cost of ownership significantly lower than a comparable petrol motorcycle financed at the same terms.
