With the addition of new players (companies) the electric bike market in India is gradually increasing. Electric motorcycle manufacturer Oben has introduced its first electric motorcycle-Oben Rorr in India.

Design

The new Oben Rorr gets a design of a neo-retro motorcycle. It closely resembles with that Honda CB300R. Even the body panels of the Oben Rorr are similar to that of the Honda CB300R. The design of the Oben Rorr is simple and minimalistic and yet attractive. The headlight of the bike is circular in design and is accompanied by LED turn indicators. The LED DRLs are integrated with the circular headlamp of the electric bike.

The instrument cluster of the bike is fully digital and provides important details about the ride. The electric motor and battery of the bike is located at the normal place where regular bikes have their engine. The battery and the engine get an IP65 waterproof rating. This means that the buyers should not worry about taking a ride in the rainy season.

Battery and range

Oben Rorr is equipped with a 4.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack along with a 10 kW electric motor. The company claims that bike will offer a range of 200 km on single charge. However, we expect that the real world range will be less. The company claims that the motorcycle can be charged in a time span of just two hours. Three modes are present on the bike, which include- Eco, City and Havoc. The Eco mode offers a range of 150 km (with max speed 50kmph) while the Havoc mode will give a range of 100 km (with max speed 100kmph). The City mode offers a decent range of 120 km.

Other prominent features

The Oben Rorr electric motorcycle will offer black alloy wheels along with disc brakes. A ground clearance of 200mm is present on the motorcycle. A split seat design on the motorcycle gives good comfort to the rider and pillion.

The Oben Rorr is launched at a starting price of Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom). The booking price of the Oben Rorr electric bike is as low as Rs 999 and has already started from 18 March, 2022. The motorcycle gets various subsidies from different states of India. In the national capital New Delhi, Oben Rorr gets an incentive of Rs 30,000 which takes the final price to Rs 94,999.
