It seems that the electric “supermoto” concept from Ola Electric is finally coming to life, with an expected market release in 2027.
Ola became famous for its electric scooters but faced some controversies over the years, including broken promises, recalls, and customer service issues, which affected the company’s reputation.
So when Ola announced it would transition into the motorcycle field, it raised many doubts among consumers. After that, the company unveiled its first concepts: four electric bikes with striking designs.
Among them, Ola revealed the Diamondhead, an electric bike with sharp, highly futuristic styling. Despite uncertainties, the company stated it will actually be built and should reach the market as early as 2027.
It is expected to run on Ola’s new Bharat 4680 cell battery, paired with a rare-earth-free electric motor. If Ola follows the plan, the Diamondhead should be able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just two seconds.
The build should be lightweight, using aluminum, magnesium, and carbon fiber. But even if the Diamondhead is indeed built, there is considerable skepticism about its design.
The extremely futuristic look proposed by Ola is expected to be partly discarded, as the concept presents several functional flaws likely to be flagged by engineers and safety experts.
Still, even if Ola delivers only half of what was proposed, the Diamondhead should still be a very impressive bike, capable of competing with the top current “supermotos” on the market, such as the SR/S from Zero and the Ego+ RS from Energica.
