The Roadster X+ is powered by a 9.1 kWh battery pack built using Ola Electric’s in-house developed 4680 Bharat Cell. According to the company, the motorcycle offers a claimed range of up to 500 km on a single charge. The model is aimed at enabling longer-distance use, including inter-city travel, where charging infrastructure is limited compared to urban areas.

With the certification of the Roadster X+, Ola Electric has extended the use of its 4680 Bharat Cell technology across its electric two-wheeler lineup. The battery platform is now used in both scooters and motorcycles. The company stated that the same cell technology will also be used in its upcoming electric motorcycle platform referred to as Ola Shakti.

The testing process covered parameters such as functional safety, electrical safety, braking performance, electromagnetic compatibility, noise levels, range and gradeability. These tests are part of the mandatory certification process for electric two-wheelers sold in India.

In addition to vehicle certification, the 9.1 kWh battery pack has also received approval from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) under AIS-156 Amendment 4. The battery pack was tested for safety and durability, including water immersion, thermal events, fire resistance, vibration and mechanical shock.
