Powering these Ola bikes is a mid-mounted motor with a chain drive, rated at 7kW for the Roadster and 11 kW for the Roadster X+. This enables the Roadster to hit the 40 kmph mark on a speedometer in just 3.1 seconds (Roadster X+ takes only 2.8 seconds) before hitting a top speed of up to 125 kmph. However, it is worth noting that the top speed varies across the variants, with the 2.5kWh model reaching 105kmph and the 3.5kWh and 4.5kWh variants topping out at 118 kmph. On the other hand, the Roadster X+ has a top speed of 125 kmph.
When it comes to features, the Roadster X gets an all-LED lighting system, a 4.3-inch LCD instrument cluster, cruise control, advanced regen tech, reverse mode, tyre pressure alert, three riding modes (Eco, Normal & Sport ) and much more. It also comes equipped with brake-by-wire technology that eliminates the need for a physical brake cable as it takes input through a sensor to determine braking efficiency.
Underpinnings comprise a conventional telescopic fork up front and a twin shock absorber at the rear, suspended on the 17-inch alloy wheels. For anchoring, the bike gets a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear, with a single-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS) in the Roadster X+ variant.
