If you follow Bhavish Aggarwal, you have some idea about how dear Roadster by Ola is to him. It almost comes as his piece of heart which is curated and served by Ola Electric. Such a sentiment got my curiosity running to the extent that i landed at the official website of Ola Roadster to check out what makes it worth the hype.
To put Roadster by Ola Electric in a brief context, it is an EV motorcycle that comes parallel to the existing product line-up of electric scooters. Ola was initially identified as a cab aggregator but the EV segment is a huge pivot which, it would be right to assume, is now turning into its main business.
This is not a promotional post - only a medium to share details about Roadster by Ola Electric.
Features of Roadster by Ola Electric
A lot of features of Roadster depend on the variant that customers choose. What follows is more or less a common list of Ola Roadster which may still be available (or unavailable) at the time of purchase.
Defined as the bike of the future, Roadster by Ola Electric offers an IDC range starting from 252 km with a minimum top speed of 118 km/h. The peak power ranges from 7 Kw to 11 kW with an option to choose any one of the three riding modes. These are eco, normal, and sport. Ola Electric has mentioned on the website that the EV bike has been engineered to perfection with key offerings like flat cables, brake by wire, and an IP67-rated battery.
Appearance-wise, Ola Roadster stands at a decent level in India, that is Bharat. It brings all-LED lamps and a 4.3” color LCD which hosts key-insertion just below it. The EV bike does have a front disc brake; however, a higher model takes it up a notch by adding front ABS.
Ola Roadster comes with a removable battery which can be plugged into a 5A socket. A 3L boot space becomes instantly available if the same battery is removed. This is a feature that eliminates the need to get a separate charging point installed near the parking space at home. If anything, it can be possibly used to place a helmet when the battery is plugged in for charging.
It features DIY Mode to give freedom to riders of setting the way they want to handle the EV Ola bike. A little more exploration sheds light on Cruise Control which is ideal for long rides provided the rider is aware of the surroundings on the road. Features like Energy Insights and Easy Park have not left Ola’s EV ecosystem. These can be seen coming in handy every now & then.

Finally, on the safety aspect, a customer can see Roadster featuring Geo Fencing, Find Your Vehicle, and Time Fencing. Geo-fencing essentially allows riders to set geographical restrictions beyond which they get an alert. Time Fencing is something similar except it is linked to the hours within which the bike can be moved.

Ola Roadster variants may cost more or less than the extreme range mentioned because of taxes, accessories, and offers applicable at the time of purchase.
