Ola Roadster X+ launched in India, available in two options. Which variant to pick?

Ola Electric recently launched the Roadster X+ electric motorcycle in India. The electric bike was launched alongside the Ola Roadster X. Unlike the Roadster X, which is available in three different battery pack options, the Roadster X+ is available in two battery pack choices: 4.5 kWh and 9.1 kWh.

The homegrown EV manufacturer is aiming to grab a bigger chunk of the Indian electric two-wheeler market and the Roadster X series is expected to play a crucial role in that strategy. Ola Electric is ambitious that the Roadster X series will boost the growth of the Indian electric two-wheeler adoption and will help the company grab a larger chunk of the market pie.

The Indian electric two-wheeler market is currently dominated by scooters, but the number of electric motorcycles is rising at a gradual pace. Several manufacturers have launched their respective products in this segment and Ola Electric has become the latest to enter this space with its Roadster X series.

While the Roadster X, priced between ₹75,000 and ₹95,000 (exintroductory and ex-showroom), comes as an affordable commuter electric motorcycle, the Roadster X+ comes as a more upmarket electric bike focusing on power-packed performance. It is available in five different colour options: Industrial Silver, Anthracite, Stellar Blue, Pine Green, and Ceramic White.

If you are planning to put your money on the Ola Roadster X+, here is a comprehensive guide to help you make a better decision on which variant should you pick.
