In the ever-evolving landscape of electric mobility, Ola Electric stands at a fascinating crossroads—a company with a bold vision, a volatile stock chart, and a growing chorus of retail investors who believe it’s a sleeping giant.
Let’s unpack why this view, while contrarian, might not be as far-fetched as it seems:
Autorickshaws, a familiar sight on the bustling streets of many Indian cities, are more than just a means of transportation—they are a cultural icon and a lifeline for daily commuters. However, the traditional three-wheeled, open-air design is increasingly showing its limitations in the face of modern urban demands.
Just like Bajaj… Ola must upgrade autorickshaws to four-wheeled, air-conditioned vehicles and these could significantly improve safety, comfort, and environmental sustainability.
At first glance, Ola Electric’s recent challenges—delays in product launches, financial losses, and growing market skepticism—might seem like signs of a struggling company. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the reality is entirely different.
The Ola Roadster has been making waves in the electric motorcycle industry, and the reviews pouring in on YouTube highlight its impressive performance, design, and innovation. As Ola Electric continues to push boundaries in sustainable transportation, the Roadster has emerged as a strong contender in the electric bike segment, garnering praise from riders and reviewers alike.
Performance and Ride Quality
One of the most frequently mentioned positives in YouTube reviews is the smooth and powerful ride of the Ola Roadster.
Let me write what are the advantages of Vande Bharat:
Vande Bharat is a high speed train designed to run at approx 130-160kmph. Although the speed can touch 130 kmph it generally runs at around 90kmph. The average speed of mail express trains are around 50-60kmph.
The increase in speed from 60kmph to 90kmph is 30kmph. This is an increase in 50%.
Since the Engine of the train doesnt need to be SHUNTED and moved from one end of the train to another it saves a lot of “Turn Around Time”
THE PAST:Ather Energy started 10 yrs ago making scooters. The vision they had was laser sharp – they wanted to make the fastest scooter in India. Until Rizta all they did every year was just that.
Almost every 18 months-2yrs they launched a new model that was faster than the previous model.
Rizta changed all that … it was like a scooter from a completely new company… of all the scooters that Ather has made we at PlugInCaroo like Rizta the best… the colours the design… smart combo helmets… the compatibility with the smart… the way it charges the helmet… too good too amazing.
Ather eMotorcycle: The reason why Ather NEVER built a motorcycle is very, very silly because Ather scooter is in fact a Motorcycle with
Ultraviolette Automotive, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, is planning an IPO to raise approximately $500 million (Rs 4,343 crore) and is targeting a listing in 2026-2027. The company is backed by TVS Motor and Qualcomm Ventures.
Ather Energy would be competing with Ultraviolette Automotive… more than competing with Ola, Bajaj and TVS. Ather’s only problem is that they are very slow – eg – in 10 yrs they have still not migrated to building motorcycle.
Ather Energy Scooters are a motorcycle hiding under a scooter’s inefficiencies like smaller wheels, smaller wheelbase, tiny shock absorbers and thus Ather has not yet realized its true potential.
Only after building their first motorcycle will Ather Energy avail the true benefits which the company truly deserves and can ONLY then compete with Ultraviolette.
India, South East Asian countries and to a certain extent African countries have a insanely HUGE 2wheeler market which will welcome and accommodate all new Electric 2 Wheeler makers similar to Ultraviolette Automotive.
The plus point is such beautiful Electric Vehicle will be welcomed in Europe & USA and Latin American countries.
