Ola Electric Roadster X
The Ola Electric Roadster X is a budget electric motorcycle for Indian riders who want a naked-bike stance rather than a scooter, priced from Rs 69,999 ex-showroom for the base 2.5 kWh variant up to Rs 1,54,999 for the range-topping 9.1 kWh Roadster X+. ARAI-claimed range spans 252 km on the entry variants to 500 km on the top variant, but no independently tested real-world range figures exist yet, so treat those numbers as lab-best claims rather than what you'll see day to day.
Is the Ola Electric Roadster X right for you?
Best for
- First-time EV buyers who want a proper motorcycle stance (not a scooter) for daily city commuting within the ARAI-claimed 252 km range
- Riders on a tight budget who want the lowest entry price into an electric motorcycle, starting at Rs 69,999 for the base 2.5 kWh variant
- Buyers who value connected, software-driven features (cruise control, geo and time fencing, brake-by-wire) at an entry-level price point
- Home-charging riders who prefer plugging into any ordinary 5A wall socket overnight rather than depending on public charging infrastructure
Think twice if
- Anyone planning long intercity rides on the promise of 500 km range - that figure is Ola's ARAI/lab claim on the top 9.1 kWh variant and has no independently tested real-world number behind it yet
- Riders who need fast top-ups: a 0-80% charge takes close to 5.9 hours on the standard charger and roughly 8 hours on the largest 9.1 kWh pack
- Performance-focused buyers - the base variants run a 7 kW motor with a modest 118 km/h top speed, well short of typical premium motorcycle expectations
- Buyers who weigh after-sales service heavily - Ola's service and build-quality reputation has been inconsistent, which matters more on a new motorcycle platform than on an established one

Charging and living with it
Charging: 0-80% in ~5.9 hrs via integrated removable charger; plugs into any 5A socket. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Living with it is simple on paper: the charger is removable and plugs into any 5A home socket, so no dedicated wall box is needed, but budget close to 6 hours for a 0-80% top-up (about 8 hours on the biggest pack). Ola's Hypercharger network helps on higher variants, though coverage still varies by city, and the brand's service-and-support track record is worth checking locally before committing.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the Ola Electric Roadster X Roadster X 2.5 kWh costs about ₹320/month to run versus ₹2,800/month for a comparable petrol scooter, a saving of ₹30,174/year at July 2026 prices.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Ola Roadster X?
There is no independently tested real-world range published yet, only ARAI-claimed figures: 252 km for the 2.5 kWh and 4.5 kWh variants, and up to 500 km for the top-end 9.1 kWh Roadster X+. Treat these as lab-best numbers; expect meaningfully less in mixed city and highway riding.
How long does the Ola Roadster X take to charge?
All variants use an integrated, removable charger that works with any standard 5A home socket. A 0-80% charge takes about 5.9 hours on the 2.5 kWh and 4.5 kWh packs, and roughly 8 hours on the larger 9.1 kWh pack. Hypercharger-compatible variants can also top up faster on Ola's public fast-charging network where available.
Which Roadster X variant should I buy?
For a pure city commuter, the base 2.5 kWh at Rs 69,999 is the cheapest way in. If you want the stronger 11 kW motor with a bit more range buffer, the Roadster X+ 4.5 kWh at Rs 1,09,999 is the sensible middle pick. Step up to the Rs 1,54,999 9.1 kWh Roadster X+ only if you ride longer distances regularly and want the highest ARAI-claimed range.
Is the Ola Roadster X good value against other electric motorcycles?
At Rs 69,999 to Rs 1,54,999 ex-showroom, it undercuts most electric motorcycles on price while offering brake-by-wire and MoveOS features like cruise control and geo/time-fencing that are uncommon at this price. The trade-off is a modest 7 kW motor on entry variants and a mixed track record on Ola's service quality.
What is the running cost of owning a Roadster X?
With small battery packs (2.5 to 9.1 kWh) and home charging via any 5A socket, per-km electricity cost stays low compared to a petrol motorcycle. The bigger unknowns for total ownership cost are long-term battery health and service reliability, both areas where Ola's record is still being established rather than proven.
