This Insane Futuristic EV Superbike Is Coming In 2027, No Really

Ola Electric has had a wild ride so far. When it first showed up with the S1 electric scooter, it made EVs feel fun, affordable, and even a little futuristic. Big touchscreens, app controls, fast charging—the kind of features you didn’t expect on a budget scooter. For a hot minute, Ola looked like it was going to own the EV two-wheeler market.

But then came the bumps. Broken promises, recalls, sketchy reliability, and a customer service rep that couldn’t keep up—Ola’s shiny image started to fade fast. Add in heavy spending on factories and tech, plus a few too many headlines about unhappy owners, and the company’s credibility took a real beating.

That’s why Ola’s fairly recent move into motorcycles raised eyebrows. Out of nowhere, it rolled out four concept bikes—a cruiser, an ADV, a naked, and the one everyone’s still talking about: the Diamondhead sportbike. Unlike the commuter-friendly S1, this thing looked like it beamed in from the future. It’s sharp, angular, and the front fairing practically eats the handlebars.

And here’s the kicker: Ola says it’s actually building it. The Diamondhead is slated for a 2027 release, and on paper, it’s unlike anything India’s ever produced. It’s supposed to run on Ola’s new 4680 Bharat cell battery pack (developed in-house), paired with a rare-earth-free electric motor. Lightweight construction using aluminum, magnesium, and carbon fiber is part of the plan. And the performance claims? A 0 to 100-km-per-hour time of just two seconds. That’s not just fast-for-an-electric-bike-fast—that’s right up in superbike territory.
