Ola Electric Roadster
The Ola Electric Roadster is Ola's entry-level electric motorcycle, priced from Rs 1,04,999 ex-showroom for its 3.5 kWh variant, the only trim with a published price today, and carries an ARAI-claimed range of 248 km. It is built for first-time electric motorcycle buyers who want Ola's feature set (touchscreen, cornering ABS, advanced regen) at the lowest entry cost in the Roadster line, rather than the longer-range X+ or Pro versions.
Is the Ola Electric Roadster right for you?
Best for
- Buyers who want the cheapest entry point into Ola's electric motorcycle range, at Rs 1,04,999 ex-showroom
- Daily city commuters comfortable working with an ARAI-claimed 248 km figure since no independent real-world range test exists yet for this variant
- Riders who prioritise onboard tech and safety kit - 7-inch TFT touchscreen, MoveOS, cornering ABS, front and rear disc brakes - over chasing maximum range
- Owners who charge via a standard home AC point and don't need fast-charging or DC support for this bike
Think twice if
- Anyone who wants a tested, real-world range number before buying - only Ola's own ARAI figure (248 km) is available, with no independent verification
- Riders planning longer daily distances or highway-heavy use, since 248 km ARAI is the lowest range figure across the Roadster family (X+ and Pro go further)
- Buyers trying to compare the 3.5 kWh, 4.5 kWh and 6 kWh Roadster battery options on price - only the 3.5 kWh variant's price is officially published, so upgrading battery size can't be budgeted for yet
- Anyone who needs confirmed charging time upfront - Ola's product page states AC charging but does not list an official charge duration for this variant

Charging and living with it
Charging: AC charging; official charge time not stated on product page. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Charging is AC-only, and Ola has not stated an official charge time on its product page for this variant, so treat overnight home charging as the practical routine until you can confirm exact duration at a dealership.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Ola Roadster?
There is no independently tested real-world range for the Roadster yet. Ola's own ARAI-certified figure is 248 km for the 3.5 kWh variant; expect a noticeably lower number in actual daily riding once traffic, speed and load are factored in.
How long does the Ola Roadster take to charge?
It charges via a standard AC connection, but Ola has not published an official charge time on its product page for this variant, so confirm the exact duration with a dealer before you commit to a home-charging routine.
Which Roadster variant should I buy?
Right now there is effectively one answer: the 3.5 kWh variant at Rs 1,04,999 ex-showroom is the only Roadster trim with a published price. Ola also sells 4.5 kWh and 6 kWh battery options under the same Roadster name, but it hasn't listed their individual prices, so you can't budget for the bigger-battery versions yet.
Is the Ola Roadster good value against rival electric motorcycles?
At Rs 1,04,999 it undercuts Ola's own Roadster X+ and Pro while still offering cornering ABS, a 7-inch TFT display, auto hill hold and an IP67-rated battery. The trade-off is range: 248 km ARAI is the lowest claimed figure in the Roadster lineup, so it suits buyers prioritising price and features over maximum distance.
What safety features come with the Ola Roadster?
It gets cornering ABS, front and rear disc brakes, a mono-shock rear suspension, auto hill hold for inclines, and advanced regenerative braking, along with an IP67 ingress-protection rating on the battery pack for weather resistance.
