In December 2021, Indian startup OBEN EV unveiled its first electric bike designed and developed by Bengaluru couple Dinkar and Madhumita Agarwal. The electric bike developed by the start-up has already garnered 16 patented innovations and has begun testing on select roads. The electric motorcycle christened Oben Rorr has now been launched for the Indian market.

Oben Rorr electric motorcycle promises to be a powerful machine as it packs a 4.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the drivechain is a 10 kW electric motor. The e-bike has a peak torque of 62 Nm and is capable of doing 0-40 km/h in just 3 seconds. The e-bike has a top speed of 100km/h but that can be adjusted to fit into three riding modes – Eco, City, and Havoc.

One interesting feature which will make the Oben Rorr EV stand out among its peers is the maximum range it can go on a single charge – a staggering 200km! Tha is almost twice the range of most e-bikes with the same engine capacity. Even if you run out of battery power, the electric motorcycle can be fully charged in about 2 hours.

Aesthetically, the Oben Rorr is a marvel, sporting a rugged, yet sleek design that will sure turn heads when it cruises past them on the road. The e-bike is fitted with a circular all-LED headlamp with LED DRLs. The turn indicators and taillamp are also LED lamps. The bike’s instrument cluster is an all-digital affair.

In terms of pricing and availability, the Oben Rorr electric motorcycle will retail for Rs 99,999 (~$1,315) in Maharashtra. However, the price is slightly higher in six other cities where it will also go on sale. The Rorr is expected to start shipping in July, 2002.

Indian startup OBEN EV has unveiled its first electric bike designed and developed by Bengaluru couple Dinkar and Madhumita Agarwal. The electric bike developed by the start-up has already garnered 16 patented innovations and has begun testing on select roads.

The e-bike is a proudly Indian initiative by the couple as the materials used were purportedly indigenously sourced. The couple is the key drivers of the thriving startup OBEN EV and its ideal was the pursuit of the development of an electric bike that was entirely Indian. OBEN EV began operations in 2020 and the motorbike will be going through the paces before final clearance as fit for Indian roads.

The new e-bike is capable of going from 0 to 40km/h in 3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 100km/h in addition to its range of 200km. The concept of the new e-bike was to provide an affordable, innovative, with fully indigenously sourced parts and an overall comfortable and reliable electric bike. The innovation extends to the battery which can be charged within two hours, but fast charging support will further cut the charging time to about an hour.

The ARX design frame helps to centralize the e-bikes load to a single focal point, thus enhancing its maneuverability and balance. The enhanced user experience is completed with the support for smartphone interaction with the e-bike via the mobile app. The app provides an array of functionality and information for the user for a truly exciting riding experience.

OBEN EV hopes that the new e-bike will be launched in the first quarter of 2022 while the first deliveries will take place by April 2022. The company will accept pre-bookings although it is not clear what pricing regime will be available for the two-wheeler EV. In any case, it is expected to have a huge reception in the market going by the excellent features and the raft of patented innovations that had followed the trail of the OBEN EV electric bike.
