Oben prices its new electric motorcycle at Rs 99,999, introductory for the first 10,000 units, backed by an LFP battery and an 8-year warranty
Oben Electric launched the Rorr EVO at Rs 99,999 ex-showroom for the first 10,000 customers. The price rises to Rs 1,24,999 thereafter. The model delivers an IDC range of 180 km from its 3.4 kWh LFP battery and reaches a top speed of 110 kmph.
Market Positioning
Oben targets buyers of 125 cc internal-combustion-engine motorcycles with this electric motorcycle. The 9 kW IPMSM motor produces 250 Nm wheel torque and accelerates 0-40 kmph in 3 seconds. LFP cells offer higher heat resistance and longer life than standard lithium-ion packs used by many rivals.

Key Specifications
- 3.4 kWh LFP battery with 8-year warranty
- 180 km claimed IDC range; expected 100-150 km real-world
- 9 kW peak power motor and chain drive
- 0-40 kmph in 3 seconds; 110 kmph top speed
- Fast charge 0-80% in 90 minutes
- Kerb weight around 140 kg
Compared with the Revolt RV400 or the Ola Roadster X variants, the Rorr EVO undercuts on the introductory price while matching or exceeding range claims. Its LFP pack doubles the lifecycle over NMC batteries common in the segment.
Beyond the Spec Sheet
The 8-year battery warranty directly cuts long-term ownership cost for daily users who cover 30-50 km per day. Riders gain the flexibility to charge every 2-3 days instead of daily, shifting their behaviour from range anxiety to routine planning. In Indian cities, this supports more two-wheeler substitution for short car trips and reduces parking pressure without frequent reliance on public chargers.
The aluminium-housed IP67 battery pack withstands monsoon flooding and high ambient temperatures better than many alternatives, yet real-world range still drops under pillion load or with aggressive riding. This gap between IDC figures and actual use will determine retention rates among first-time electric motorcycle buyers.
