Bengaluru, April 16, 2025 – Ola Electric, India’s leading electric vehicle maker, is revolutionizing the two-wheeler market with its Roadster X motorcycle, a sleek and affordable electric bike that’s turning heads. Launched in February 2025 with a starting price of just Rs 74,999, the Roadster X has quickly gained traction, with deliveries now underway across the country. Its sporty design, impressive range, and innovative features are positioning Ola as a trailblazer in the electric motorcycle segment.
The Roadster X, built at Ola’s cutting-edge FutureFactory in Tamil Nadu, comes with three battery options—2.5 kWh, 3.5 kWh, and 4.5 kWh—offering a range of up to 200 km on a single charge. This makes it perfect for both city commutes and longer rides. With a top speed of up to 124 kmph (depending on the variant), the bike combines performance with style, featuring a bold look that appeals to young riders and motorcycle enthusiasts. Its affordability, compared to petrol-powered bikes, has made it a hit, especially as fuel prices continue to rise.
Ola Electric reported over 1,395 confirmed orders for the Roadster X even before its official launch, a testament to its popularity. “The Roadster X is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement for a greener, smarter India,” said an Ola spokesperson. “We’re thrilled to see the overwhelming response from riders who want performance without compromising on sustainability.”
Same-Day Delivery Powered by AI
Adding to the excitement, Ola has introduced a groundbreaking same-day registration and delivery service in Bangalore, leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline the process. Customers can now book their Roadster X, complete paperwork, and ride away on the same day—a first in India’s two-wheeler market. This service, initially launched in Bangalore, has been a game-changer for buyers seeking convenience. Ola plans to roll out this feature to other major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad by the end of 2025, making EV ownership faster and easier.
Leading the Electric Revolution
The Roadster X’s success comes at a time when India’s electric two-wheeler market is booming. Over 1.15 million units were sold in FY2025, with Ola Electric holding a commanding 29.93% market share. The company’s focus on affordability, innovation, and local manufacturing has helped it outpace competitors like TVS and Bajaj. The Roadster X, alongside Ola’s popular S1 scooter series, is driving the shift toward electric mobility, supported by government incentives like Gujarat’s Rs 20,000 subsidy for electric two-wheelers.
However, challenges remain. Reduced subsidies under the PM E-DRIVE scheme, now at Rs 5,000 per vehicle from April 2025, could impact affordability. Quality concerns in the electric two-wheeler segment, with 98 problems per 100 vehicles industry-wide, also pose hurdles. Ola is addressing these by investing in R&D and expanding its service network to ensure customer satisfaction.
A Bright Future Ahead
The Roadster X is more than just a motorcycle—it’s a symbol of India’s green revolution. With its low running costs (as little as 30 paise per km), zero emissions, and high-tech features like a digital display and regenerative braking, it’s winning over riders looking for value and eco-friendliness. Ola’s plans to expand charging infrastructure, with over 4,000 stations already operational, further sweeten the deal for Roadster X owners.
As Ola Electric continues to innovate, the Roadster X is paving the way for electric motorcycles in India. With same-day deliveries, competitive pricing, and a growing fanbase, Ola is not just riding the wave—it’s creating it. Riders across the country are now looking to the Roadster X to redefine what two-wheelers can do in a fast-changing world.
