Last August, Indian mobility company Ola Electric announced its upcoming lineup of full-size electric motorcycles. The firm has now provided specs for one family of the bikes, the Roadsters, which boast a range of up to 579 km (360 miles) and a top speed of 194 km/h (121 mph).
There are three basic models of the Roadster – the standard Roadster, the Roadster X and the Roadster Pro. Just to complicate matters, there are also three versions of the standard Roadster, taking their names from the capacity of their batteries in kilowatt-hours: the 3.5, 4.5 and 6. There are also three versions/battery capacities of the Roadster X, namely the 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5.
Should you happen to live in Ola’s Asian marketplace and be wanting an electric motorcycle, pricing for the standard Roadster starts at 104,999 rupees (about US$1,250), with the Roadster X dropping down to 74,999 rupees ($893) and the Roadster Pro climbing back up to a still-reasonable 250,000 rupees ($2,977).
I like it! It has a sort of Ducati vibe going, and the upright riding posture looks comfy.
