| Top-spec X+ | ₹2.00 lakh | 9.1 kWh | 501 km |
The base Roadster X starts at ₹1 lakh with a 2.5 kWh battery, and goes up to ₹1.25 lakh with the 4.5 kWh battery. Meanwhile, the Roadster X+ variant starts at ₹1.30 lakh and stretches to ₹2 lakh for the flagship 9.1 kWh trim with the highest range.
Performance & Features
While specific motor specs haven’t been officially confirmed, Ola Electric is expected to offer punchy torque, fast acceleration, and connected features such as OTA updates, riding modes, and digital displays.
Key highlights:
- Futuristic streetfighter design
- Red monoshock and disc brakes at both ends

Range & Usability
Ola’s claimed range of 501 km on a single charge for the top variant sets a new benchmark in India’s electric motorcycle segment. This makes it an ideal choice not just for city riding but even for weekend highway getaways.
For urban users, the 2.5 kWh and 3.5 kWh variants offering ranges of up to 150–200 km make more economic and practical sense.
