ZigSays

Both of these electric bikes are quite evenly matched in terms of the pricing. But in terms of everything else they are poles apart. 

The Roadster X makes a lot more power at 7kW and is available in 3 battery pack options. The Ola also has a higher claimed range for all its variants when compared to the RV1. Overall the Roadster X is more efficient, offers more performance and a lot more features. The only issue is the overall build quality of Ola products and the poor after sales and service experience.

The Revolt RV1 is available in 2 variants and is significantly down on efficiency and performance figures. On paper the RV1 also appears to be quite basic when compared to the Roadster X in terms of features. But the RV1 gets twin disc brakes when compared to Ola’s drum brake setup. After sales and service network could be an issue with Revolt too.
