Launch of Ola Roadster X
Ola Electric has officially unveiled its first electric bike, the Roadster X. Initially showcased as a prototype, the bike is now production-ready and set to enter the market soon. This marks a significant step for Ola Electric in expanding its product lineup beyond electric scooters.
CEO’s Test Ride
To further boost excitement, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal recently shared a video of himself riding the Roadster X at the company’s headquarters. This move not only confirmed the bike’s readiness but also gave potential buyers a sneak peek at its design and performance.
Upcoming Deliveries
The wait for the Roadster X won’t be long, as deliveries are expected to begin as early as next week. This quick turnaround from unveiling to delivery is part of Ola’s strategy to maintain momentum and convert interest into sales.
Compact and Budget-Friendly Design
