The electric motorcycle, first unveiled in February 2025, is priced at ₹1.90 lakh (ex-showroom) and is positioned as the longest-range electric two-wheeler currently available in the Indian market.

Government Certification for In-House Battery Technology
Ola Electric has also announced that the Ola Roadster X Plus 9.1 kWh has received government certification under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), 1989. The certification was issued by the International Centre for Automotive Technology (iCAT), based in Manesar, Haryana.
This certification is significant as the Roadster X Plus becomes the first electric motorcycle in India to feature a fully in-house developed battery pack. The motorcycle is powered by Ola’s self-developed 4680 Bharat Cell, marking a key step in the company’s strategy to localise EV technology.
An Ola Electric spokesperson stated that the certification reflects progress toward building end-to-end electric vehicle technology within India, combining in-house cell development with vehicle integration.
Performance, Range, and Powertrain
The Roadster X Plus uses a mid-drive motor paired with a chain-drive system and an integrated motor control unit (MCU). The electric motor produces a peak output of 14.7 bhp and enables the motorcycle to accelerate from 0 to 40 kmph in 2.7 seconds, with a claimed top speed of 125 kmph.
The 9.1 kWh battery pack carries an IP67 rating, offering protection against dust and water ingress. Ola Electric says the extended range is aimed at supporting inter-city travel, particularly in non-metro regions where public charging infrastructure remains limited.
Chassis, Braking, and Ride Modes
Built on a double cradle frame, the Roadster X Plus features three riding modes—Sport, Normal, and Eco—to balance performance and efficiency. Braking duties are handled by a front disc setup, complemented by a first-in-segment patented brake-by-wire system with single-channel ABS.
Features and Connectivity
The motorcycle is equipped with a 4.3-inch LCD instrument display running Ola’s MoveOS 5 software. Key features include advanced regenerative braking, cruise control, energy consumption insights, reverse mode, and a USB charging port for smartphones.
The Roadster X Plus is offered in four colour options: Industrial Silver, Metallic Black, Stellar Blue, and Pine Green.
Warranty and Ownership Perspective
Ola Electric is offering a battery warranty of three years or 50,000 km, whichever comes earlier. The company highlights the use of advanced wire-bonding technology and a serviceable Battery Management System (BMS) as measures to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
What It Means for Indian Buyers
With deliveries scheduled to begin in early 2026, the Ola Roadster X Plus 9.1 kWh targets riders seeking long-range electric mobility without frequent charging stops. Its claimed 501 km range could make it particularly appealing for buyers in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where charging infrastructure is still developing.
As Ola Electric prepares to roll out deliveries, the Roadster X Plus stands out as a technology-led offering that pushes the boundaries of range and localisation in India’s electric two-wheeler market.
Note: Range, performance figures, and specifications are as claimed by the manufacturer and may vary under real-world riding conditions.
