Oben Electric has expanded its motorcycle portfolio in India with the official launch of the Oben Rorr Evo. Positioned as a naked streetfighter, it is priced from ₹ 1,24,999 (ex-showroom), but the first 10,000 customers can avail a lower introductory price of ₹99,999 (ex-showroom). Bookings are currently open, while deliveries are scheduled to commence in the next 30 days on May 30, 2026.

The Oben Rorr Evo remains sharp and muscular and gets a projector LED headlamp with integrated DRLs. The ‘tank’ appears bold and sculpted, adding to the overall stance, and the motorcycle employs a belly pan with an integrated air channel to aid battery cooling. Towards the rear, the Evo adopts a sharp tail section paired with a single-piece seat that is finished with white stitching.

Powering the motorcycle is a mid-mounted IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) that notably avoids the use of rare earth materials, keeping production costs low amid supply chain uncertainties. The motor has been engineered to be 40 per cent more compact than previous designs and reduces the use of active magnetic materials by 33 per cent, all while delivering 20 per cent higher power output. To this effect, it delivers 9 kW of peak power and comes with an IP68 certification for protection against dust and water ingress. Power is transmitted via a single-stage chain drive system, enabling a 0-40 kmph sprint in 3 seconds. While max top speed stands at 110 kmph, in Eco mode, the bike can reach speeds of up to 60 kmph.

Power is derived from a 3.4 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery pack and transmitted via a single-stage chain drive system, which sends 250 Nm of peak torque to the wheel. The battery offers an IDC-claimed single-charge range of 180 km, while the claimed real-world range stands at 150 km. Oben Electric has further confirmed that owners can benefit from an extended battery warranty of 8 years/80,000 km, while standard battery warranty stands at 3 years/50,000 km.

With the Oben Plug fast charger, the battery can complete a 0-80 per cent recharge in just 90 minutes, and the bike comes equipped with an onboard charger for added convenience.

Built on the ARX platform, the new e-bike incorporates a longer wheelbase, which typically aids straight-line stability and enables a relaxed riding position. Complementing this is what the company claims to be the longest seat in the segment, measuring 680 mm, paired with a relatively accessible seat height of 780 mm. The overall ergonomics are defined by an upright riding triangle, indicating a more relaxed posture suited to both city commutes and longer rides.

The Oben Rorr Evo further offers a water-wading capacity of 230 mm. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock with seven-step adjustability. The bike comes riding on 17-inch wheels shod in tubeless tyres, and these are fitted with 270 mm disc brakes at both ends.

In terms of storage and convenience, the motorcycle provides a combined 10 litres of space, split between a 4-litre tank compartment and 6 litres under the seat. Additionally, two USB charging ports are integrated into the tank area, adding to its practicality.

Tech suite and safety

The Oben Rorr Evo is fitted with an 8-inch colour-TFT display with connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, music controls and tripmeter. There are 4 riding modes on offer, alongside 4 display themes. This includes the new SmartIQ AI riding mode that analyses riding patterns in real time and is claimed to extend overall range by up to 15 per cent.

The motorcycle further adds Fall Alert with Emergency Assist, a feature that detects a fall and triggers alerts via the Oben app, notifying emergency contacts if required. Further features include:

• Unified Brake Assist
• Driver Alert System (DAS)
• Theft Protection
• Remote Immobilisation
• Geo-fencing
• Find My Rorr
• Ride history, statistics, remote diagnostics
• Find Me a Charging Station
