Ola Electric Roadster Pro

Performance is the Roadster Pro’s headline feature. The liquid-cooled, frame-mounted 52 kW motor ensures sustained power delivery, with a top speed reaching up to 194 km/h in the 16 kWh configuration. The bike supports multiple ride modes - Eco, Normal, Sport, and Hyper. These tune throttle response and power delivery to match the riding scenario. The powertrain is water and dust resistant (IP67-rated), ensuring durability in varied weather conditions. Its real-world performance figures are expected to match the impressive on-paper specs, though real-life testing is still pending.

In terms of styling, the Roadster Pro strikes a balance between futuristic and aggressive, taking cues from naked sportbikes. It features upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock, twin disc brakes, and 18-inch alloy wheels. A 10-inch touchscreen TFT dominates the cockpit, offering navigation, customizable widgets, and Ola’s proprietary MoveOS interface. The lighting setup is fully LED, including projector headlamps, DRLs, indicators, and tail lamps. The seat is a split unit with heating and cooling functionality, set at a manageable height of 805 mm. While the kerb weight hasn’t been officially confirmed, the large battery pack indicates it will be on the heavier side.

Ola has loaded the Roadster Pro with advanced safety tech. In addition to dual-channel cornering ABS and traction control, the bike includes ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features like forward collision warnings and lane departure alerts. It also comes with hill-hold, tyre pressure monitoring, a side-stand sensor, and vehicle immobilization. Reverse mode, emergency hazard lighting, and remote lock/unlock functionality further enhance safety and ease of use. The motor and battery’s water and dust resistance adds confidence when riding in wet or rough conditions. Future software updates will add race-oriented features like wheelie control and stoppie assist.

Ultraviolette F77 - The F77 is the Roadster Pro’s closest rival, offering a 10.2 kWh battery, peak power of 30 kW, a 0–60 km/h time of 2.9 s, and a top speed of 155 km/h. While it's a proven performer and has already been road-tested, its 30 kW power and 307 km range fall short of the Roadster Pro’s 52 kW motor and 579 km range. However, the F77 currently has the edge in build quality and established reliability.

Zero SR/S - This is a premium electric motorcycle from the US, featuring a 17.3 kWh battery and a top speed of 200 km/h. While it excels in highway performance and real-world touring range, it is also priced far higher and remains unavailable in the Indian market through official channels. The Roadster Pro offers comparable features at a significantly lower cost.

The Roadster Pro’s other competitors include the Tork Kratos R, which is more commuter-focused with modest specs, and the Revolt RV400, which falls into a completely different, budget-friendly category. These bikes don’t challenge the Roadster Pro’s performance or range but may be more practical for budget-conscious city riders.

In summary, the Roadster Pro leads in range, speed, and tech at its price point, but its long-term reliability and service infrastructure remain key questions.

The Ola Roadster Pro is a bold step forward in India’s electric motorcycle space. Its combination of high power, segment-leading range, aggressive design, and feature-rich dashboard positions it as a premium choice for both thrill-seekers and long-distance commuters. Ola’s approach of offering hyperbike performance under ₹3 lakhs, is both ambitious and potentially disruptive. However, given the company’s checkered history with product reliability and customer service, buyers should wait for real-world reviews and delivery rollouts before committing. If Ola delivers as promised, the Roadster Pro could turn out to be a benchmark for electric motorcycles in India.
