Ola First Electric Bike: The country’s leading electric two-wheeler manufacturing company Ola Electric has launched its first electric motorcycle Roadster X in the Indian market. So, let’s know about this bike in details;
Ola Roadster X Specifications and Features:
The bike looks so futuristic and its design is quite delusional. However, The company has launched Roadster X with three different battery packs (2.5kWh, 3.5kWh and 4.5kWh).

Ola Roadster X New Technologies:
Ola has used flat cable wiring in its bike. This not only makes the maintenance of this bike easy but also prevents any kind of breakdown due to bad wiring, While regular motorcycles have standard wiring.
The company has used its patented brake by wire technology in their first electric bike. Well, what is this technology?
It means when brakes are applied in any normal two-wheeler, heat is generated from the kinetic energy of the vehicle. This affects the life of the brake pad and also affects the mileage but the brake by wire technology given in this new electric bike uses a patented brake sensor. This sensor not only identifies the braking pattern but also detects emergency braking. This technology generates mechanical braking as well as electronic braking. During this, kinetic energy is converted into electricity and charges the battery.
The company claims that with the help of this technology, the scooter not only gets 18% more range but the life of the scooter’s brake pad also doubles.
Ola Roadster X Price:
Well, This electric bike from OLA is priced at Rs 77,000 (ex-showroom) which will increase according to models selected and prices may vary based on different geographical locations also.
