The electric motorcycles are making a strong entrance and the new Ola Roadster X is here to revolutionize the market! Less than €1000 for an electric motorcycle 125? Impressive! That’s exactly what Ola offers with its Roadster X. Currently, it is primarily available in India, providing interesting performance at an accessible price. With €830 for the basic version, it presents itself as an affordable option for those who want to enter the world of electric motorcycles without spending a fortune. And that’s not all, there is also a more powerful X+ version for the more demanding riders.
An unbeatable price for an electric motorcycle 125
Ola surprises by launching its Roadster X at a truly competitive price. Starting at just €830, this electric motorcycle is much cheaper than many conventional 125 cc motorcycles. Ideal for attracting a wide clientele that might not otherwise consider more expensive models, while offering an eco-friendly option. The Roadster X is designed to be accessible, with versions that vary according to their range and top speed.
Three variants: range and performance according to your needs
The Ola Roadster X is not just any motorcycle. It is available in three versions: Roadster X 2.5, Roadster X 3.5, and Roadster X 4.5. The difference between these models lies in the capacity of the battery and the resulting range. For the 2.5 and 3.5 versions, the range varies from 140 to 196 km according to the Indian IDC cycle. If you are used to short trips in the city, the basic version could be more than enough. However, for longer journeys or weekend rides, the 4.5 version with its 252 km of range could be the ideal option. This is a great advantage for motorcyclists who don’t want to recharge every two hours.
Regarding top speed, the basic version is limited to 105 km/h, but the higher versions reach 118 km/h. The X+ version, which offers superior performance, goes up to 125 km/h, which is impressive for an electric motorcycle. In terms of acceleration, it is said to take 3.4 seconds to go from 0 to 40 km/h in the basic version and 3.1 seconds for the higher versions. Perfect for moving nimbly around the city!
Equipment that can compete with the best models
Ola does not skimp on the equipment of the Roadster X. It includes a 4.3-inch LCD display to have all the information at your fingertips, and Bluetooth connectivity to connect your phone. Of course, the motorcycle features LED lighting and a remote update system via OTA. In terms of comfort, you will find a telescopic fork at the front and a dual rear shock absorber, ideal for absorbing road irregularities. The tires come mounted on 18 inches in the front and 17 inches in the rear, offering stability and maneuverability to tackle various types of roads without problems.
Roadster X+: for those who want more
For those looking for more power and range, Ola has also launched the Roadster X+, an even more powerful version. With its 11 kW motor, this motorcycle can reach up to 125 km/h in top speed, surpassing the classic Roadster X. Regarding the battery, there are two options: 4.5 kWh (with a range of 252 km) and 9.1 kWh (with a range of over 500 km according to the IDC cycle). Undoubtedly, for those who want a motorcycle for long trips or frequent routes, this version is very attractive. Additionally, it remains an affordable option, with a basic version priced at €1160 and the most complete version at €1710.
