Ola Roadster X Tested: 4.5-kWh Battery Delivers Over 100 Km in the Real World
Ola Electric recently put its Roadster X electric motorcycle through an extensive road test, and the findings are encouraging. With the 4.5-kWh battery pack, the bike regularly exceeded 100 kilometres on a single charge under everyday riding conditions. This level of performance marks a noteworthy advance for the Indian electric two-wheeler segment, where fears about short range have kept many prospective buyers on the sidelines.
The Roadster X is part of Ola's effort to show that high-performance electric motorcycles can also serve as dependable commuter vehicles. Its sleek, sporty look and now-validated range are capturing attention in both urban centres and nearby towns. To arrive at the figure, testers rode the bike through a blend of stop-and-go traffic, highway stretches, and rough back roads, steering clear of purely controlled lab scenarios.
Tested on Real Indian Roads
To gauge everyday reliability, Ola took the Roadster X through city bottlenecks, open highways, and hilly stretches. The rider kept to standard commuting habits, skipping eco modes and low-speed trickery. Even with moderate pulls, constant stopping, and routine use of lights and turn indicators, the scooter hit the triple-digit mark before its battery finally expired.
That 100-kilometre figure matters, because it mirrors how most users ride, not some perfect lab scenario. Skeptics have long asked whether electric two-wheelers can really replace their petrol peers. By delivering this range, Ola seems to say Yes, we are finally in that league.
Power and Battery Specifications
Under the seat, a 4.5-kWh lithium-ion pack drives the Roadster X. Fast charging and regenerative braking coax a little extra distance after every red light. Engineers tuned the power curve to balance thrill with battery sanity. The top speed stays modest for urban zones, yet the throttle still snaps open when an overtake demands it.
The Roadster X comes with a clear digital screen, phone-linked features, and a sturdy frame that catches the eye on the street. Its suspension has been specially calibrated for typical Indian surfaces, and the overall build inspires confidence during every ride.
Charging Time and User Convenience
Charging time easily stood out during our testing. Using a fast charger, the pack moves from zero to eighty percent in just under two hours, making overnight plugs or quick mid-day stops realistic. Many workplaces and public parking areas already offer charging points, and Ola’s expanding network should only boost that ease.
Despite its battery weight, the bikes low centre of gravity and compact profile keep it nimble in tight lanes and busy traffic. Whether for office workers, students, or anyone else commuting in urban sprawl, it promises affordable, dependable mobility.
Final Impression
Viewed as a package, the Roadster X now emerges as a legitimate player in the mid-tier electric-bike class. Its real-world range of over a hundred kilometres outstrips rivals that rarely match their claimed figures, and that success firmly strengthens Ola Electric’s standing in the fast-changing two-wheeler market.
As fuel costs climb and environmental worries grow, a competent e-bike such as the Roadster X could influence how many Indian commuters select their everyday transport. The next few months should reveal buyer reaction once the model becomes available in additional cities and at more showrooms.
The on-road evaluation proves a straightforward point: Ola's Roadster X is styled to impress, yet its real strength lies in the impressive range it delivers.
