Battery and Performance
The Ola Roadster Pro brings two battery options—8kWh and 16kWh. The 8kWh variant offers great city mileage, but it's the 16kWh that really impresses, boasting a claimed range of 579km and top speed of 194 km/h. Accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in a blazing 1.9 seconds and powered by a 52 kW motor, the Roadster Pro rivals even premium electric bikes in performance.
Technology and Features
The Roadster Pro is packed with tech, featuring a 10-inch TFT touchscreen with turn-by-turn navigation, cruise control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Ola takes safety and convenience up a notch with ADAS, geofencing, and four riding modes (Hyper, Sport, Normal, Eco). Advanced traction control and ABS modes (Race, Urban, Rain, Off-Road) cater to different driving conditions, ensuring both thrill and safety.
Design and Ergonomics
While the design is still in its pre-production phase, the Roadster Pro sports a modern aesthetic with a robust build. Ola has incorporated race-inspired anti-wheelie and stoppie modes, adding to its appeal among performance enthusiasts.
Pricing and Availability
Starting at Rs 1,99,999 for the 8kWh variant and Rs 2,49,999 for the 16kWh variant, the Roadster Pro is positioned in a competitive price bracket. However, deliveries are set for 2026, and Ola has yet to release the final production model. This delay may be a drawback for potential buyers eager to experience the bike soon.
Final Verdict
The Ola Roadster Pro has the potential to redefine electric biking in India, especially if Ola meets its performance claims. For now, it’s worth keeping an eye on, especially if you're inclined toward cutting-edge features and eco-friendly commuting. However, for those who value immediate availability, waiting for the final production version might be a wise choice.
