Oben Electric has expanded its motorcycle portfolio in India with the official launch of the Oben Rorr Evo. Positioned as an all-new naked streetfighter, it is priced from ₹124,999 (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 has a projector LED headlight with built-in DRLs and maintains its strength and sharpness. The motorcycle uses a belly pan with an integrated air duct to help cool the battery, and the “tank” looks bold and sculpted, adding to the overall posture. The Evo’s rear features a single-piece seat with white stitching and a sleek tail section.
Battery and power
The motorcycle is powered by a mid-mounted IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor), which significantly reduces production costs in the face of supply chain uncertainties by avoiding the usage of rare-earth elements. Compared to earlier designs, the motor is 40% more compact and uses 33% less active magnetic material, all while producing 20% more power.
In order to prevent dust and water intrusion, it has an IP68 certification and a maximum power output of 9 kW. A single-stage chain drive system transfers power, allowing for a 0–40 kmph sprint in three seconds. The bike can travel up to 60 km/h in Eco mode.
A single-stage chain drive system transfers power from a 3.4 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery pack to the wheel, delivering 250 Nm of peak torque. The battery’s stated real-world range is 150 km; however, IDC claims a single-charge range of 180 km. Additionally, Oben Electric has confirmed that the owner would receive an eight-year battery warranty.
Hardware and chassis
The new e-bike, which is based on the ARX chassis, has a longer wheelbase, which usually helps with straight-line stability and permits a comfortable riding position. This is complemented with what the business claims to be the segment’s longest seat, which is 680 mm long and has a comparatively accessible height of 780 mm.
An upright riding triangle, which indicates a more comfortable posture appropriate for both longer rides and city commuting, defines overall ergonomics.
Additionally, the Oben Rorr Evo has a 230 mm water-wading capacity. Telescopic front forks and a seven-step adjustable rear monoshock handle suspension responsibilities. The braking hardware is made up of two 270 mm discs.
The motorcycle offers a total of 10 liters of storage and convenience, divided between a 4-liter tank compartment and 6 liters beneath the seat. Its everyday usefulness is further enhanced by the integration of two USB charging outlets into the tank area.
Tech suite
The Oben Rorr Evo has an 8-inch color TFT display with connectivity for tripmeter, music controls, call and SMS notifications, and turn-by-turn navigation. Four riding modes and four display themes are available.
