Ola Electric, India’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has officially postponed the deliveries of its much-anticipated electric motorcycle, the Roadster X, by a month. Initially scheduled to begin in April 2025, the deliveries will now start in May 2025, according to the company’s latest stock exchange filing dated April 30.
The delay in Roadster X delivery was announced via a formal communication to the bourses, where Ola Electric stated:
“With reference to our earlier intimation dated April 11, 2025, we wish to inform that the deliveries of the Roadster X motorcycle will now commence in May 2025.”
This marks the second major update from the company this month, following the earlier confirmation that deliveries would begin in April. While the company did not cite specific reasons for the postponement, industry insiders suggest that supply chain challenges or final quality checks could be the possible causes.

What is the Ola Roadster X?
The Ola Roadster X is one of the flagship models in Ola Electric’s upcoming motorcycle lineup. It’s part of the company’s ambitious push into the electric motorcycle segment, which also includes other models like the Cruiser, Adventure, and Diamondhead—revealed at Ola’s August 2023 event.
The Roadster X is designed to offer a futuristic riding experience, combining advanced electric mobility features with sleek styling and performance. While full specifications are yet to be publicly detailed, the motorcycle is expected to feature a high-performance electric motor, smart connectivity, and a long-range battery—making it a strong competitor in the premium EV bike market.
Impact on Customers and the EV Market
The delivery delay may cause some disappointment among early adopters and enthusiasts eagerly waiting for the Roadster X electric bike. However, such delays are not uncommon in the automotive industry, especially with technologically advanced vehicles that require stringent testing and production standards.
Given Ola Electric’s track record with its S1 series of scooters, the company is likely taking extra care to ensure the Roadster X delivers on performance, safety, and reliability. Ensuring a smooth rollout can help build trust with customers and strengthen its position in India’s growing EV market.
Ola Electric’s Vision
Ola Electric has been aggressively expanding its EV offerings and is positioning itself as a major player in both the two-wheeler and upcoming four-wheeler EV segments. With a large manufacturing facility, known as the “Future Factory,” and increasing investment in R&D and battery technology, the company aims to accelerate India’s transition to electric mobility.
The Roadster X delay might be a short-term setback, but it does not dampen the long-term outlook for Ola’s motorcycle portfolio. Enthusiasts and customers can now expect deliveries to begin in May 2025, and more updates are likely as the date approaches.
Conclusion
While the one-month delay in the Ola Roadster X delivery schedule may test the patience of some buyers, it highlights Ola Electric’s commitment to quality and performance. As EV adoption continues to rise, all eyes will be on Ola as it rolls out one of the most anticipated electric motorcycles in India.
