Ola Electric’s move into the electric motorcycle segment aims to capture a broader customer base across various segments. While electric scooters are booming in India, the electric motorcycle market is still niche with limited options. Ola’s expertise in electric scooters positions them to become a major player in the electric motorcycle market, potentially accelerating the adoption of electric motorcycles in India.
Ola Electric plans to introduce four electric motorcycles: Ola Cruiser, Ola Adventure, Ola Roadster, and Ola Diamondhead. The recent patent filing for the Ola Roadster marks a significant advancement, following the unveiling of the MI Cyber Racer concept.
Bold and sporty aesthetic with chunky tires, alloy wheels, USD forks, and twin-disc brake setup.
Sleek wraparound LED headlamp and integrated LED winkers on the tank shrouds.
Features inspired by the MI Cyber Racer concept, including a futuristic digital instrument panel, three-step seat design with a charging pod, and a flush-fit tail light unit.
Ola Electric plans to utilize a common platform for all four motorcycle models, ensuring consistency in battery and mid-mounted motor specifications. Each model will offer distinct power and range options to cater to diverse riding needs. CEO Bhavish Aggarwal promises groundbreaking performance, boasting that the upcoming e-bikes will feature the most powerful electric motor seen on an Indian motorcycle, with larger battery packs compared to their scooters. The company emphasizes minimal parts-sharing with its existing scooter range, underlining its commitment to innovation and exceeding customer expectations.
Ola Electric’s entry into the electric motorcycle market marks a significant strategic shift. By leveraging their existing market dominance and technological expertise, they are poised to become a major player in this niche segment, potentially transforming the landscape and accelerating the adoption of electric motorcycles in India.
