Oben Electric has announced the launch date of its first Performance Motorcycle named ‘Rorr’, i.e. 15th March 2022. The Bengaluru based EV founded in August 2020 is one of the emerging electric mobility companies in the country. Oben mentioned that it differentiates itself from the rest of the makers by focusing more on sustainable mobility solutions. Oben further stated its vision to develop electric two-wheelers with exquisite designs, premium quality, and reliable products in-house. The long term aim is to become a global brand based out of India. Rorr has developed entirely in India, including design, development and manufacturing. This perfectly resonates with the central government’s push for the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative.
As of now, we know that Rorr will have a top speed of 100 kmph. In terms of acceleration, the motorcycle can run from 0 to 40 kmph in just 3 seconds. To help customers with their range anxiety, Oben is ensuring a range of 200 km under ideal driving conditions. Keeping up with the competition, Oben Rorr gets all the latest kits, including an IoT enabled mobile application. From the rendered images, the motorcycle is quite radical. The key design elements include a round headlamp, a bulky fuel tank and an aggressive stance. From the initial impression, Rorr looks quite aggressive and will definitely find its fans in the younger generation.
For the next 2 years, Oben plans to launch a total of 4 products. Each of them will address different consumers based on their segment and lifestyle. Its manufacturing facility with a capacity of 2 lakh vehicles per year will aim to meet the upcoming demand. Oben, along with a host of other EV makers, are now aggressively expanding their portfolio. India being one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world, promises a lot of scope for development and innovation. Moreover, in terms of sales as well, the EV segment is picking up pace. This is quite a lucrative market, and hence we are witnessing an influx of EV companies in the country.
