In a regulatory filing, Ola Electric announced that deliveries for its maiden electric bike will now begin in May, as against the previously promised timeline of April 2025. The Bhavish Aggarwal-led company had originally promised deliveries from March onwards, but delayed them by a month. This is the second delay for the Roadster X. It’s unclear if this will affect the arrival of the Roadster and Roadster Pro models, which also made their debuts alongside the X variant. Ola Roadster X Deliveries DelayedWhile Ola has not confirmed the same, several reports suggested the initial delay was due to the homologation process remaining incomplete on the Roadster X ahead of the originally promised delivery timeline. That said, the company claimed on April 11, 2025, that the first batch of Roadster X models had rolled out of the brand’s manufacturing facility.
