OLA Roadster X - Really the future of electric bike?

 OLA Roadster is the launched yesterday only on its SANKALP event promoting all new release and product. This piece of machine is said to be the future of electric bike with smooth and silent mover quality. They are showing this as the bike of future but is it true you will get in this blog. They had launched their two line up one is roadster x and another is roadster x+ which seems to be different and other type of bike in line and segment. As OLA is famous for making the most efficient electric two wheeler this also seems to be promising and a good product for city ride. The starting price of OLA Roadster X in India is 99,000 INR and above for other models.

The Roadster X comes with different braking for the base model there is no disc but if you upgrade to plus then you will get the disc brake which is only in front but not in both and it is like a boxy design with minimal look and finish. If you look this bike you will not see many and the wow design factor which you can see from the picture. The bike design is aerodynamic so to obtain the top speed of 105km/h. The huge box like structure is for passing the proper air and making the battery cool while performing this much in road. The durability is promised to be durable but let's see what it is coming to be. And it is also said to be rain and rough road proof bike which might be the interesting one.

It doesn't comes with gear system so everything is acceleration and there is no worry for shifting problem and stuff. The suspensions are provided considering the Indian roads which provide the comfort and safe. It is commanding position bike riding position so it is basically for city or short commutation with speed and non stop. It comes with new motor which is engineered to provide you torque and power when you required instantly and comes with intelligent stopping technology. It has the battery capacity of 2.5 kW and peak power of 7W.

The battery capacity of 2.5kW has the 5A of charger and the more interesting is that the charger can be fit in the boot space of the bike as it has been provided with 3.27 L of boot space with charging time of 6hours. The peak power delivered by this machine is 11kW and the top speed of 125mkph with the speed of 40kmph in 2.7 Sec. And it has the wide range of 252km. The battery has 3 year of warranty which is decent in my view as it is offering many more.

It also comes with digital display meter which shows you the speed, battery left , range , total km driven and many more including time and trip meter which makes convenient for driving and all information about your bike. It comes with manual key it should have should OLA type stuff with advance technology and locking system.

Pros : The bike is electric you don't have to worry about the cost of petrol and will save your money             and also it is easy to commute and take it any where you want and the design is also modern.

Cons: As electric the problem is that the charging time is more and you have to always aware that you             can't take it for longer ride due to its range and charging time.

My Opinion: If you are someone who stays in city and has the work within the city or for short travel and you want the daily use bike then this will be the good option but if you are a rider and do the long rides then this is not for you. and Also if you are a village guy but has the travel time of very short like within the low radius then you can go with this roadster other wise you can skip and look for other bikes.
