Ola Electric Gets iCAT Certification For Its Electric Bike Roadster X+

New Delhi, Dec 30 (KNN) Ola Electric on Tuesday said its electric motorcycle Roadster X+ has received required certification from International Centre for Automotive Technology (iCAT).

The approval paves way for the EV maker to start deliveries of the electric bike powered by the company's in-house developed 4680 Bharat cell battery pack.

A company spokesperson said that the government certification of the Roadster X+ is a major milestone in Ola Electric’s journey towards building end-to-end EV technology in India.

"With the Roadster X+ (9.1kWh), we are delivering an unmatched range along with superior performance, safety, and reliability, powered entirely by our own cell and battery technology. This is a defining step towards accelerating EV adoption in India’s motorcycle-dominated 2W market," the executive said.

Ola said that the iCAT certification has been issued following rigorous vehicle-level safety, electrical, performance, and environmental testing.

The certification was given as per Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) notification for certification of Battery Operated Vehicles (BoV) in the electric two-wheeler category.

The company in a statement said that the comprehensive validation programme included critical tests such as constructional and functional safety, range, gradeability, noise, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and braking performance.

"This milestone further strengthens the company’s vision to build world-class electric mobility solutions from India, driven by deep vertical integration across cells, battery packs, and vehicles, and supported by its expanding manufacturing ecosystem across EVs and Cells," the EV maker said.
