Oben Rorr EVO

The Oben Rorr Evo is perfect for young professionals, college students, and urban riders who want a fast, punchy, and zero emission daily machine. The 8 years battery warranty gives peace of mind, while the quick acceleration from 0 to 40 kmph in 3 seconds offers a thrilling experience.

The company claims a riding range of up to 180 km/charge; however, in highway riding conditions, it offers around 140 km/charge. It is a bit less than expected, but for short city rides it is enough.

• The front headlight features a projector LED setup along with sharp LED DRLs. This gives the bike a distinct visual look at night.
• Its muscular faux fuel tank has a 4 litre storage compartment. It allows me to carry my small items like gloves, a cleaning cloth, or charger cables.
• The Oben electric bike rides on stylish 17 inch alloy wheels on both ends. These are fitted with wide tubeless tyres.
• This bike has a 200 mm ground clearance that keeps the battery pack safe. It also allows it to glide over tall speed bumps without worrying about underbody scrapes.
• The total kerb weight of the bike is 140 kg, giving it a solid, well built feel. It becomes easier to push around in tight parking spots.
• The seat length is around 680 mm with a single piece setup. It offers decent room for both the rider and a pillion passenger.

• Its IPMSM mid mounted motor generates a peak motor power output of 9 kW. The bike can easily go from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3 seconds.
• The motor produces a massive maximum torque output of 250 Nm at the wheel. This gives immediate pull the moment I twist the throttle.
• The 3.4 kWh LFP battery pack is known for higher thermal stability in extreme summer temperatures.
• The claimed IDC riding range is 180 km per charge, while the real world range is around 135 km depending on the riding mode.
• The top speed of the bike is 110 kmph, which means it can easily cruise on open city expressways without feeling underpowered.
• This bike also supports fast charging, allowing a top up from 0 to 80 percent in just 90 minutes. However, the home wall plug takes a bit more time, which is around 5 hours for a full battery. 
• The powertrain features SmartIQ riding modes, including Eco, City, and Havoc. This lets you switch between maximum battery conservation and full performance on the fly.

• A comfortable seat height of 780 mm makes the motorcycle accessible for riders of varying heights. With a 5’9 height, it lets me plant my feet flat at traffic signals.
• The front suspension setup uses a telescopic fork that absorbs small road cracks and city potholes effortlessly. At the rear, it has a 7 step adjustable monoshock, which sometimes feels a little bumpy.
• Stopping duties are handled by 270 mm disc brakes at both the front and rear. The braking is further backed by a Unified Braking System.
• A water wading limit of 230 mm protects the electricals, ensuring to ride through shallow waterlogged city streets during heavy monsoon rains.

• A bright 5 inch TFT digital display clearly shows the speedometer, battery percentage, distance to empty, and active riding modes.
• Smart Bluetooth connectivity via the Oben App enables turn by turn navigation, call alerts, and SMS notifications.
• The advanced safety sensors include an integrated Fall Alert system. This automatically detects crashes and sends emergency notifications through its connected ARGUS platform.
• It also features a Reverse Assist mode, making it super easy to back out of tight or sloped parking spaces without physical strain.
• The built in telematics support remote diagnostics, anti theft tracking, and geo fencing, keeping the motorcycle secure always.
• Its convenient Over The Air (OTA) updates continuously improve software performance. This means that my bike gets feature enhancements remotely over time.
• The 8 year or 80,000 km battery warranty provides immense long term peace of mind regarding battery health.

The Oben Rorr Evo is an urban electric bike that seamlessly covers the gap between everyday commuter and sporty streetfighter. With its 9 kW peak power, usable real world range, excellent ground clearance, it offers fantastic value for money. The starting price of the bike is Rs. 1.25 lakh (ex showroom).

The Oben still needs to expand its service network reach and soften up the rear suspension out of the factory. However, the Rorr Evo stands as a very capable, head turning daily motorcycle that makes daily city riding genuinely fun again.
