Ola Electric has officially begun the production of its highly anticipated electric motorcycle, the ‘Roadster,’ which was first unveiled back in August of the previous year. The company confirmed the start of its assembly line on January 20, 2025, marking an important milestone in the brand’s electric vehicle (EV) journey.
Ola Electric’s CEO and founder, Bhavish Aggarwal, took to X (formerly Twitter) the following day to share his excitement, posting a video of himself riding the new electric bike at the company’s production facility. In the post, he wrote, “Exhilarated after riding the @OlaElectric Roadster! Can’t wait for you all to experience!” The footage featured Aggarwal navigating the company’s plant with a passenger, adding to the anticipation surrounding the new model.

Earlier this month, Ola Electric showcased the Roadster alongside other products, including the Ola Gig and Ola S1 Z, at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. The production of the Roadster marks a significant step following the brand’s August 2024 announcement at its annual event, where it introduced the Roadster Series. The series includes three different models: Roadster X, Roadster, and Roadster Pro, with prices starting at INR 74,999.
The model Aggarwal demonstrated in his video is likely the Roadster, which will feature a motor capable of producing 13 kW. Buyers will have the option to choose from battery variants of 3.5 kWh, 4.5 kWh, and 6 kWh. With a top speed of 126 km/h and a range of 248 kilometers, the Roadster will be priced between INR 1,04,999 and INR 1,39,999. Ola Electric plans to begin deliveries for the Roadster X and Roadster models in Q4 of FY25.

However, the launch comes amid scrutiny for Ola Electric, which has faced multiple challenges in recent months. The company is currently under investigation by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) over complaints related to delayed deliveries, defective products, and other service issues. Despite these challenges, the commencement of Roadster production signals the company’s continued push to revolutionize India’s electric mobility sector.
