Ola Diamondhead Electric Sportsbike With 2 Second 0-100 Kph Time: Launch Details Revealed
Ola Electric has unveiled its most ambitious two-wheeler project yet, the Diamondhead electric motorcycle. First showcased at the company’s Sankalp 2025 event on August 15, the Diamondhead is designed to be India’s first motorcycle equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The prototype signals Ola’s move into high-performance electric motorcycles, combining speed, safety, and advanced technology.
Extreme Performance
One of the most striking claims about the Diamondhead is its ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 2 seconds. That figure would put it ahead of many petrol-powered superbikes and even several high-end cars.
The performance is backed by Ola’s Bharat Cell 4680 battery technology, paired with its MoveOS 6 software and Krutrim AI integration. This combination allows the motorcycle to compete with the fastest electric two-wheelers globally, such as the Lightning LS-218.
To meet these performance goals, Ola has built the motorcycle using lightweight but strong materials including aerospace-grade aluminium, carbon fibre, and magnesium. The structural design keeps the motorcycle agile while ensuring stability at high speeds. It also features a hub-centre steering system instead of traditional front forks, which could improve handling and precision.
Distinctive Design
As the name suggests, the Diamondhead takes inspiration from sharp, angular shapes. Its front fairing has a diamond-like profile, paired with a continuous horizontal LED strip that gives it a futuristic appearance.
The overall silhouette is aggressive, with sleek panels and a tapering rear. The seating and handlebar setup underline its sporty orientation, making it closer to a track-focused machine than a commuter motorcycle.
Every design choice appears to serve both aesthetics and aerodynamics. Clip-on handlebars and bar-end mirrors reinforce the sporty posture, while the bike’s light but rigid frame contributes to stability and speed. Ola’s choice of unconventional materials shows the effort to reduce weight without compromising safety.
ADAS and Safety Technology
The most significant innovation in the Diamondhead is its use of ADAS features, something never seen before on Indian motorcycles. The system will include adaptive cruise control that adjusts speed automatically to match traffic flow, lane departure warnings to alert the rider if they drift unintentionally, and forward collision alerts to help avoid accidents.
It will also feature terrain-specific traction control, which adapts to different surfaces such as gravel, wet tarmac, or uneven roads. By using AI-based predictive systems, the motorcycle can make real-time adjustments, offering a safety net that goes beyond conventional rider aids. For Indian road conditions, these features could prove particularly useful in enhancing rider confidence.
Beyond ADAS: Future-Ready Features
Ola is positioning the Diamondhead not just as a performance machine but also as a technology platform. The bike will come with adaptive suspension and active aerodynamics, systems that alter behaviour depending on speed, road surface, and rider preference. A standout addition is active ergonomics technology, which could automatically adjust handlebars and foot pegs during a ride to ensure comfort and control.
The company is also working on a Smart AR helmet and a connected wearable ecosystem. These would allow riders to receive navigation, safety alerts, and bike data seamlessly, further integrating the riding experience with digital tools. Ola’s vision is clearly about building an entire ecosystem around its vehicles, rather than producing stand-alone machines.
Likely Price and Launch Date
Ola has indicated that the Diamondhead will be priced at around ₹5 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it in direct competition with high-performance electric motorcycles like the Ultraviolette F77 while being significantly cheaper than petrol superbikes offering similar acceleration.
The launch is expected in 2027, giving Ola two years to refine the prototype, scale up production, and finalise the Gen 4 platform on which the bike is based. This new platform promises higher power, reduced weight, and improved efficiency compared to existing systems.
