Oben Electric, based in Bengaluru, has had a considerable impact on the Indian EV motorcycle space, with the company selling over 1,400 units of its Rorr and Rorr EZ e-motorcycles in the first half of 2025. Now, the company is hoping to capitalize on that momentum by adding showrooms and service centres.
Key Sales Milestone: 1,443 Rorr Units in H1 2025
Oben Electric sold around 1,443 electric motorcycles (Rorr and Rorr EZ) between January and June 2025, reaching an accumulated total of 2,077 units sold since launch in July 2024. This is a very positive trend that shows increasing acceptance for electric motorcycles, particularly by urban commuters who are looking for a cleaner and more nimble option.
The Lead is Taken by Rorr EZ: The Star of the Show.
Since its launch in November 2024, the Oben Rorr EZ has established itself as the top-selling model in the Oben Electric brand. Key features include:
- Battery Options: 2.6 kWh, 3.4 kWh, 4.4 kWh LFP batteries
- Range: Up to 175 km per charge (IDC)
- Acceleration: 0-40 km/h in 3.3 seconds
- Top Speed: 95 km/h
- Fast Charging: 80 % in under 45 mins
- Pricing: Starting at ₹99,999 ex-showroom (introductory offer of ₹89,999)
It offers a great combination of performance, value and innovative technology to excite both new EV buyers and petrol-bike switchers.
Sharp Strategy: Targeting 100–150cc Petrol Riders
Oben Electric has identified the replaceable 100-150cc petrol bike segment as ripe for replacement with its Rorr range. By providing stylish, technical and affordable options, it attracted young, urban commuters – particularly Gen Z and women riders.
Showroom Surge: Scaling Up to 150 by FY 2026
Oben Electric has outlined a plan to increase its dealership network in order to support its sales target:
- Current: 37 flagship showrooms located in cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, and Kochi
- Target: 150 showroom locations with Oben Care service centers in more than 50 cities – including Mumbai, Surat, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Ranchi, and Kolkata – by FY 2026
Informally, this plan to expand its dealerships provides better delivery timelines, an opportunity to build service confidence with customers, and increased general national awareness of the total brand.
Youth Appeal: The “Rorr on Campus” Program
In early 2025, Oben Electric’s Rorr on Campus campaign is live in 10 top colleges in Delhi and Jaipur. The program allows students to test-ride EVs and aims to attract 100,000 young riders to demonstrate electric bike performance, affordability, and technology.
Competition Check: Oben vs. Revolt
In the competitive electric motorcycle arena—dominated by Revolt Motors and Ola Electric—Oben is making notable strides:
| Company | H1 2025 Sales | Dealerships (June 2025) |
| Revolt Motors | 5499 units | 211 |
| Oben Electric | 1386 units | 37 < expanding |
Despite having fewer dealerships, Oben Electric remains efficient: in June 2025, it sold 45 units in Telangana versus Revolt’s 37—signifying good conversion rates and demand at the local level.
Built for Performance: Tech Specs That Impress
Aside from sales numbers, Oben Electric is getting positive attention for its specifications:
- LFP Battery Technology: Longer life, higher thermal resistance, safer
- ARX Frame + IPMSM Motor: Higher torque, stable ride
- Smart Ride Modes: Eco, City, Havoc, other types of use available
- Safety & Security: Geo-fencing, theft protection, UBA, DAS
- Warranty & Care: 3 year vehicle warranty, 5 year battery warranty (up to 75,000 km), service & parts availability, helpline, pickup/drop.
These innovations match or surpass many petrol competitors—supporting Oben Electric’s promise of urban freedom, clean energy, and style.
Financial Fuel: Series A Funding Strength
Oben’s expansion has been supported by strong investment. In January 2025, ₹50 crore (Series A) funding was received by the company.These funds will be used to enhance R&D, increase production, and scale its showroom & service network.
What’s Next? O100 Platform & Beyond
Oben Electric‘s ambitions do not end with Rorr. In May 2025, it launched the O100 platform—a modular, cost-effective electric motorcycle system targeting the competitive <₹1 lakh, 100cc-equivalent commuter segment.
Developed in Bengaluru and protected by 25+ patents, the first O100-based bike will be in the market by 2025 and will fit well into the showroom Vision and planned Expansion.
Final Thoughts: Oben Electric on the Fast Lane
Oben Electric is creating a niche in the electric two-wheeler space in India. With over 1,400 sales of its Rorr e-bike in H1 2025 alone, strong interest in their flagship Rorr EZ, solid investment levels, and a planned rollout of 150 showrooms by FY 2026, rapid acceleration is being primed for by Oben Electric.
By focusing on a youthful clientele, leveraging technical capabilities, providing warranty support, and soon to launch its O100 platform, Oben not only shows early signs of success, but also has made strides to be a formidable contender in the performance space as well as commuter electric motorcycles. With the infrastructure adaptation developing and consumer confidence in EVs at an all time high, Oben Electric appears well positioned to spearhead the new electric motorcycle revolution in India – one stylish, emissions-free ride at a time.
