Ola Electric CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, has ignited speculation about the company’s forthcoming electric motorcycle by sharing a cryptic image of a sophisticated battery pack on social media. The accompanying tease, “Working on something,” has sent ripples through the electric vehicle community.
The teaser image offers a glimpse into the motorcycle’s potential architecture. The battery appears to be housed within a tubular diamond-type split double cradle frame, with a compact motor positioned beneath it. The presence of a chain drive system and forward-set footpegs suggests that the showcased component might belong to either the Ola Cruiser or Roadster, two previously unveiled concept models.
Ola Electric first introduced four futuristic electric motorcycle concepts on Independence Day last year, though these designs were largely conceptual. However, recent developments indicate a shift towards more practical models, with the company filing patents for three new e-bike designs.
The newly revealed battery pack is notably larger than those typically found in Indian electric scooters, hinting at a longer range and potentially higher performance for the upcoming motorcycle. The inclusion of a front sprocket and chain final drive aligns with the architecture seen in electric motorcycles like the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 and Matter Aera.
Further corroborating these speculations, design patents of three Ola Electric bikes resembling the Ola Roadster have surfaced. One of these designs features a premium roadster aesthetic with performance comparable to a 160cc petrol motorcycle. The patent images showcase a double cradle frame, a chain drive system, and a motor mounted on the frame – elements corresponding to the recently teased battery pack.
Bhavish Aggarwal has confirmed that Ola Electric plans to launch multiple motorcycle variants by early 2025. This timeline aligns with the company’s IPO filing, indicating motorcycle deliveries’ commencement in the first half of the 2026 fiscal year. As the details unfolded, the electric vehicle industry eagerly awaits the official unveiling of Ola’s electric motorcycle.
