Verdict
Ola Roadster X does have the potential to change the image of the Ola Electric company into a positive one, as they have worked a lot on making it a reliable product, with the usage of chain drive and mid-drive motor. All of these work together to ensure this bike doesn't repeat the long-standing problems seen with Ola scooters. So, let's hope we don't hear about these issues. That said, the direct rivals of Roadster are Oben Rorr and Revolt RV1.
