    Ola Electric CEO Teases New Electric Motorcycle Release

    Ola Electric is preparing to launch a new electric motorcycle. The company’s CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal, has shared a teaser image of this upcoming e-motorbike. This will mark the brand’s first venture into electric motorcycles, expanding their already impressive lineup of e-scooters. The teaser image showcases various components including the battery pack, electric motor, front sprocket, and final drive chain. Speculations suggest that the official announcement for this new electric motorcycle might be made on August 15.

    Previous Concepts and Design

    Just a year ago, Ola Electric unveiled four concept electric motorcycle models featuring cutting-edge designs. The recent social media post by Ola’s CEO is thought to be a pre-production model of one of these showcased bikes. According to the teaser, the e-motorcycle features a steel tubular frame that encases a compact battery pack. The electric motor is positioned below the battery pack, with the drive chain connected to a practical front sprocket. Additionally, the image hints at several control modules thoughtfully placed on the motorcycle.

    Design Features

    The teaser also reveals part of the seat, indicating forward-set footpegs, affirming it as an e-motorcycle. The seat height appears to be nearly level with the battery pack, suggesting an accessible saddle height for riders. The full name and specifications of this teased Ola electric motorcycle remain undisclosed. It seems unlikely that this model will enter production this year. However, the August 15 announcement could shed more light on Ola Electric’s upcoming offerings and provide a closer look at the e-motorcycle.

  • Ola Electric Patents Three Roadster-Inspired Electric Motorcycles

    Ola Electric Patents Three Roadster-Inspired Electric Motorcycles

    Bengaluru-based Ola Electric, a prominent electric vehicle manufacturer, has recently submitted patent applications for three forthcoming electric motorcycles. These new models share similarities with the Ola Roadster concept e-bike showcased on the company’s official website. Despite previous concerns regarding battery fires, Ola’s popular S1 e-scooter lineup has been well-received. Expanding their portfolio, Ola Electric aims to venture into the electric motorcycle market with the filing of patents for these upcoming bikes.

    Patent Filings & Designs

    Ola has explored various concepts in the past, and the recent patent submissions hint at a potential new range of motorcycles. Recent records from India’s patent journals reveal that Ola has filed for three new electric motorcycle designs. These patents suggest the development of three distinct versions of the Cyber Racer model. Each of the three models, as depicted in the patent illustrations, showcases unique visual characteristics setting them apart from one another.

    The primary model outlined in the patent features the thinnest tire, a basic alloy wheel design, a hub-mounted motor at the rear wheel, a simple swingarm, and shock absorbers. Notably, it exhibits sharp edges and a flat, one-piece seat. In contrast, the other two models appear sportier than the base variant, sharing similar fundamental specifications such as powertrain, suspension, swingarm, and panel details. Nevertheless, there are discernible disparities that differentiate these two sportier models.

    Distinguishing Features

    While one model adopts a single-seat configuration, the other presents a dual-seat layout. The ergonomics also exhibit slight variations between the two sporty versions of the forthcoming Ola Electric motorcycles. The single-seat variant showcases a taller, flatter handlebar, whereas the other features a clip-on handlebar.

    These three Ola Electric patents display discrepancies in battery cooling, bodywork, and front facade. Although the launch dates remain undisclosed, the patent filings hint at the imminent unveiling of these new Ola Electric motorcycle models.
