Ola Electric Roadster Pro
The Ola Electric Roadster Pro is a premium electric motorcycle for riders who want genuine performance rather than a plain commute, priced from Rs 1,99,999 ex-showroom for the 8 kWh version up to Rs 2,49,999 ex-showroom for the 16 kWh version, with an ARAI-claimed range of up to 579 km on the larger battery (a certified lab figure, not yet independently road-tested). It pairs a 52 kW liquid-cooled motor and a claimed top speed of up to 194-195 km/h with USD front forks, dual disc brakes and cornering ABS with Race and Rain modes, putting it closer to a performance motorcycle than a typical electric scooter. It suits enthusiast riders comfortable paying a premium for track-oriented hardware on a two-wheeler platform that is still building its long-term reliability record.
Is the Ola Electric Roadster Pro right for you?
Best for
- Riders who want a sporty, performance-focused ride rather than a basic commute, and can justify Rs 2 lakh-plus for a two-wheeler
- Enthusiasts who specifically value USD front forks, dual disc brakes and cornering/Race/Rain ABS modes over bare-bones scooter hardware
- Buyers with home or private AC charging access who can accept an overnight charge of roughly 4.1 hours (8 kWh pack) or 7.5 hours (16 kWh pack)
- Riders chasing the highest ARAI-rated range in this class (579 km on the 16 kWh pack) for fewer weekly charging stops, while understanding it is a claimed, not tested, figure
Think twice if
- Buyers wanting the cheapest electric two-wheeler; at Rs 1,99,999 to Rs 2,49,999 ex-showroom this is priced above mainstream electric scooters
- Riders who need quick top-ups; no fast-charging spec is listed, so a full charge takes 4.1 to 7.5 hours depending on the pack
- Buyers wanting a proven ownership track record; the wheelie/stoppie control and track-oriented ABS modes are new to market and unproven over years of use
- Riders sensitive to kerb weight or low-speed manageability; this is described as a heavy motorcycle, which affects parking and slow-speed handling

Charging and living with it
Charging: ~4.1 hrs full charge (base pack) per aggregator specs; AC charging. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Charging is AC-only per available specs, roughly 4.1 hours for the 8 kWh pack and 7.5 hours for the 16 kWh pack, so this suits riders who can charge overnight at home rather than those relying on fast top-ups during the day.

FAQ
How much does the Ola Roadster Pro cost?
Rs 1,99,999 ex-showroom for the 8 kWh variant and Rs 2,49,999 ex-showroom for the 16 kWh variant.
What is the real-world range, not just the claimed figure?
Ola has not published an independently tested real-world range yet, only ARAI-claimed figures: 316 km for the 8 kWh pack and 579 km for the 16 kWh pack. Treat 579 km as a lab ceiling rather than a daily-riding promise, since real-world range on any two-wheeler typically runs lower.
Which variant should I pick, the 8 kWh or the 16 kWh?
If you ride longer distances and want range headroom, the 16 kWh at Rs 2,49,999 makes sense despite its longer roughly 7.5 hour charge time. If your riding is shorter and you are price-sensitive, the 8 kWh at Rs 1,99,999 with a roughly 4.1 hour charge is the practical pick.
How long does the Roadster Pro take to charge?
Around 4.1 hours for a full charge on the 8 kWh pack and around 7.5 hours on the 16 kWh pack, per aggregator specs, on AC charging. This is realistically an overnight-charge motorcycle, not a quick-top-up one.
Is it worth paying a premium over a regular electric scooter?
Only if you value the performance hardware: a 52 kW motor, claimed top speed up to 194-195 km/h, USD forks, dual disc brakes and cornering ABS. At Rs 2 lakh-plus ex-showroom it is priced closer to a performance motorcycle than a city scooter, and its long-term reliability is not proven yet.
