Ola Electric Roadster X deliveries delayed, early buyers frustrated

Ola Electric's first electric bike, the Roadster X, has yet to begin deliveries, leaving enthusiasts frustrated.

OLA Roadster X: Launched in February at Rs74,999, Ola Electric has yet to deliver a single unit. A new report suggests buyers will have to wait longer. According to IANS, Ola Electric has delayed Roadster X shipments for the third time. Initially slated for March, deliveries are now postponed.

OLA continues to provide reasons for the delay. Last month, Ola filed that Roadster X production had begun at Futurefactory, Tamil Nadu, with deliveries soon.

Now, the deadline is missed again. A stock market filing indicates a May start. Ola Electric is already under scrutiny for inflating February sales figures by including 1,395 Roadster X pre-orders, despite no deliveries.
