Ola Electric S1, Roadster X Motorcycle to Start Getting MoveOS 5 OTA Software Update in India

The Gen 3 S1 scooters offer a 20% increase in peak power and range compared to their predecessors. They also feature a mid-drive motor, integrated Motor Control Unit (MCU), dual ABS, and brake-by-wire technology. Additionally, the new architecture includes improvements in energy efficiency and weight reduction, enhancing the overall riding experience.

The Roadster X series offers three battery options: 2.5 kWh, 3.5 kWh, and 4.5 kWh, with ranges up to 144 km, 201 km, and 259 km respectively. In contrast, the standard Roadster provides a 3.5 kWh variant with a range of up to 248 km, while the Roadster Pro offers higher capacity options, including 8 kWh and 16 kWh, providing extended ranges up to 579 km.

The Roadster X series motorcycles are equipped with advanced safety features, including a brake-by-wire system and single-channel ABS. Additionally, they run on the MoveOS 5 platform, which supports regenerative braking and other safety-enhancing technologies. This integration aims to provide riders with better control and safety during their rides.

Deliveries for the Roadster X and standard Roadster models are scheduled to begin in Q4 FY25. However, the higher-end Roadster Pro model will see deliveries commencing in Q4 FY26. This staggered rollout reflects the company's approach to ensure readiness and quality for each model before delivery.

The Bharat 4680 battery cells are designed to provide five times more energy than the conventional 2170 cells, which could significantly enhance the efficiency and performance of Ola's electric vehicles. These cells are expected to be integrated into future models starting from Q1 FY26, potentially lowering production costs and improving range.
