Design And Build

The Ola Roadster Pro has a modern design with a steel frame. The battery is housed where one would usually find a fuel tank. The bike uses an upside-down fork and a monoshock that ensures you a comfortable ride even on rough roads.

This enables a 0-60 kmph acceleration in just 1.9 seconds. The top speed of 194 kmph is impressive, and the 16kWh battery offers a range of up to 579 km on a single charge.

Coming to the Matter Aera, the e-bike packs a 10kW motor with three riding modes, topping out at 105 kmph. However, its range is more limited. it claims to offer 125 km range on a single charge and one can reach a top speed of around 80 kmph.

The Ola Roadster Pro sports a 10-inch TFT touchscreen. This offers a plethora of features, such as geofencing, ADAS, and many riding modes. It also has future-ready tech like three-step traction control and anti-wheelie functions, set to roll out with the MoveOS 5 update.

The Matter Aera boasts a 7-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity, Mappls navigation, and a unique feature, that is, a four-speed mechanical gearbox. However, it lacks some of the advanced safety features found in the Roadster Pro.
