What You Get: Comfort, Tech & Safety Highlights
The Ola Roadster 3.5 kWh features minimalist street-bike styling, a projector LED headlamp, telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock. Its four riding modes let riders select different performance settings.
Announced technology includes a 7-inch TFT touchscreen, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, reverse assistance and hill hold.

Ola also announced cornering ABS functionality and Brake-by-Wire for the Roadster, subject to final production and software availability.
Missing Features & Variant Comparisons
The 3.5 kWh variant has the smallest battery in the Roadster lineup. Moving to the 4.5 kWh version adds 39 km of claimed range and increases top speed from 116 km/h to 126 km/h for an additional Rs. 15,000.
The 6 kWh version offers the longest claimed range. The entry variant also misses the dual-channel ABS arrangement announced for the more expensive Roadster Pro.
Available Paint Options
Ola’s original brochure announced three colours for the Roadster family. Confirmed shade names and availability for the 3.5 kWh variant remain unverified.
Battery & Vehicle Warranty Coverage
Published warranty coverage is 3 years or 50,000 km for the battery and 3 years or 40,000 km for the vehicle, whichever comes first.
Final Roadster-specific coverage, exclusions and eligibility for optional battery warranty extensions should be confirmed before purchase.
Is This the Right Variant for You?
The Ola Roadster 3.5 kWh would suit riders seeking the lowest entry price and planning predictable daily journeys with home charging. The 4.5 kWh version offers more range margin for longer commutes.
Choose based on your daily distance and charging access rather than treating the claimed IDC range as guaranteed real-world range. Current delivery availability requires confirmation.
