A Game-Changing Entry

Ola launched the Roadster X electric motorcycle for Rs 74,999 during its introductory sale period of seven days with no sacrifice made to performance or style.
The introduction incorporates time-sensitive pricing which means the price will increase after February 12. The company will increase pricing after February 12 following a marketing strategy that was also used when the Gen 3 S1 electric scooter was launched.

Futuristic Design Meets Cutting-Edge Tech
The Roadster X breaks the mold in such a way that it literally disintegrates it. You will encounter modernity in every section of this bike’s aerodynamic shape along with its LED facade. The Roadster X includes a 4.3-inch vibrant color LCD instrument cluster that provides immediate speed and battery information and navigation guidance to riders. The visual appearance surpasses the instrument functionality because it looks like a feast to the eyes.
The Ola includes advanced functionalities which normally appear in premium models but remain hidden behind its surface. Smoothing up handling is RSU telescopic forks while enhanced comfort comes from twin shock absorbers and puncture-resistant tires riding on alloy wheels. The safety features include a front disc brake and reverse mode as well as single-channel ABS which provide protection in this specific segment.
The peak achievement comes from the world’s first flat cable implementation that both simplifies organization and improves product longevity. The bike features a saree guard alongside an integrated grab rail on its one-piece seat making it an attractive and useful combination of form and functionality.
