Ola Electric officially rolled out its maiden electric bike, the Roadster X, made at its Tamil Nadu factory. The launch is a major step for Ola to expand further in the electric two-wheeler segment beyond scooters. The company assured customer sales and delivery from this month.
Advanced Engineering and Key Features
The Ola Roadster X also incorporates flat cable technology for the first time in an electric bike. The design promotes thermal efficiency, reduces overall weight, and offers long-term reliability. The bike features a wire-based braking system and has a single-channel ABS. Besides this, the implementation of Move OS 5 incorporates advanced features such as reverse mode.
The battery packs of Roadster X are IP67 standards compliant, hence dust and waterproof. This implies that it will have a longer lifespan and will perform well under harsh environmental conditions. Ola has indicated that this new series is targeting customers who look for leading-edge technology in addition to robust engineering.
