Ola Electric is quietly lining up ist most ambitious two-wheeler yet: the Diamondhead

A sharp-edged electric sportbike the company hopes to bring to market in 2027. The idea first popped up back in 2023. Since then, we’ve seen sketches and test shots that make it feel less like a sketchbook fantasy and more like a project inching toward production.

Design: Clean Lines, Future Vibe

At first glance you notice the light signature — a slim LED strip running across the nose. It gives the front end a “cut gem” look and explains the name. Bodywork flows up and over the bars into a sculpted center section, so the whole bike reads as one piece rather than separate panels. The effect is modern without shouting about it.

Performance Targets

Ola is aiming high. Internal targets point to 0–100 km/h in around two seconds. If the production bike gets close to that, it’ll sit beside very fast petrol superbikes and a few premium Evs. Big claim, but it sets the tone.

Electronics and Rider Aids

Reports around the prototype mention ADAS-type features more common in cars than on motorcycles: adaptive cruise, active braking support, and traction control that can adjust to changing surfaces. For the Indian market, that would be unusual — and very welcome — on a sportbike.

Battery and Rider Fit

Underneath, Ola plans to use it’s own 4680 “Bharat Cell” architecture, reworked from scooter duty to handle far greater power and heat loads. Another interesting idea is active ergonomics: bars and pegs that can tweak their position so you can settle in for a commute or tuck down for a fast run without wrenching on hardware.

Chassis and Materials

To keep the weight in check, the Diamondhead is expected to mix aerospace-grade aluminum, carbon-fiber composites, and magnesium. Less mass usually means friendlier low-speed manners and quicker direction changes, which matters as much as straight-line speed.

Not Just a Bike: A Connected Setup

Ola is also talking about a rider ecosystem. Think pairing with a smart/AR helmet and wearables for navigation, alerts, or camera features. It’s the kind of integration that makes sense for a high-tech flagship.

Price and Timing

The company’s current line puts launch in mid-2027 with pricing around £4,260 (€4,950 / $5,750) (ex-showroom). If that holds, the Diamondhead would undercut many petrol sportbikes while lining up against India’s premium electric options, including the Ultraviolette F77.

Quick Take

• Targeted 0–100 km/h ~ 2 s acceleration
• Distinctive look with a wraparound LED light bar
• Talk of ADAS-style assists, adaptive suspension, and adjustable ergonomics
• Lightweight mix of aluminum, carbon fiber, and magnesium
• Hooks into a connected gear ecosystem (AR helmet, wearables)
• Mid-2027 launch targeted at about £4,260 (€4,950 / $5,750)
