Bengaluru-based EV manufacturing brand, Ola Electric has filed patents for three upcoming electric bikes. The new motorcycles are similar to the Ola Roadster concept e-bike that is listed on the company’s website. The famous Ola S1 e-scooter lineup has been a huge hit even with the issues relating to battery fires previously. Ola Electric plans to foray into the electric motorcycle segment with the filing of the patents for the upcoming motorcycles.
Ola has tinkered with several ideas in the
past but these recent patent filings could signal a new lineup. The latest
journals for patents in India indicate that three new patents for electric
motorcycles were filed by the company. The three designs in the patents could
translate to three different versions of the Cyber Racer model. The three
models, from the patent images, have visual distinctions that set each of them
apart from the others.
As per the models, the patent with the
thinnest tire and basic alloy wheel design seems to be the base model. It has a
hub-mounted motor at the rear wheel, a basic swingarm, and shock absorbers. It
has sharp creases and a flat single-piece seat. The other two models are
sportier than the base variant and both seemingly share the same basic specs
including the powertrain, suspension, swingarm, and most of the details on the
panel. There are however some differences that distinguish the two models from
each other.
One of the models comes with a single-seat
architecture while the other features a dual-seat layout. The ergonomics are
also slightly different between the two sporty models of the upcoming Ola
Electric motorcycles. The single-seat version has a taller and flatter
handlebar while the other has a clip-on handlebar.
There are still several differences
between the three Ola Electric patents including their battery cooling,
bodywork, and front faces. There are no indications yet on the launch date of
these models. The patent filing could however indicate that the unveiling of
the new Ola Electric motorcycles could be on the horizon.
