Imagine yourself gliding through the busy urban streets on a motorcycle that combines the charm of yesteryear with the contemporary beauty of next generation electric power. The Oben Rorr is more than an electric motorcycle; it is a statement. If you're a techie, a style-conscious commuter, or a person tired of the downsides of outdated fuel, this vehicle has the unique ability to provoke reactions and disassociate everything you know and feel about electric vehicles.
At first glance, you can't help but admire the neoclassical appeal of the Rorr. A nod to the golden age of motorcycles while paving the way into the future. You can't help but admire the muscular frame, followed by the beautiful alloys and clean defined LED lights, which reveal a motorcycle that is built for performance. Everything contributes to the rider experience, and as you sit on the bike, you will feel as if you own the road instead of just riding on it.
You not only look good on the Rorr; you ride smartly. With an 8 kW IPMSM motor capable of developing a lot of torque, the bike can rocket from 0-40 km/h in just short of 3 seconds at a cruisy top speed of 100 km/h. That top speed is more than enough for the urban hustle but never feels overwhelming — you can feel in complete control, every time you twist the throttle.
The Rorr's battery technology is what makes it special. With a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery (the safer, longer lasting choice), it can deliver nearly 190 km of range per charge. When riding through traffic jams, running errands, or on weekend outings, there will be very few times where you actually stop and think about charging.
With the Oben Plug fast charger, you can charge from 0-80% in 2 hours. That means less time waiting for charging and more time riding. Also, with its IP67 rated battery casing, you have no worry about the weather or dust preventing you from enjoying your ride.
Every day can be different from the next, and so can your ride. The Rorr offers three specific riding modes:
You can be assured that there will be adrenaline in each ride, and you are always in control.
Oben did not cut corners on safety with the Oben Rorr. It includes:
Riding is not just about speed and power, it's also about being comfortable. The split seat design gives both you and your passenger plenty of room to feel comfortable while you cruise. The suspension handles bumps with ease. The 17" tubeless tires provide grip and stability over different road conditions. You’ll get that classic bike experience, but mixed with the useful features of modern technology.
Let's see how the Oben Rorr stacks up against some key competitors in the Indian market:

| Range | Up to 187 km (claimed IEC/IDC cycle) | Usually 60-120 km depending on battery |
| Battery Technology | Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), safer and longer lifespan | Mostly Lithium-ion, varying quality and longevity |

The Oben Rorr gets top marks in battery technology owing to its excellent LFP battery delivering more safety and longevity than lithium-ion battery packs, which the majority of competitors use. It has terrific scores on its fast charge rate, making it very convenient as a daily driver. It does not have the blunt top speed of the Ultraviolette F77, but it does an incredible job of balancing speed, range, and cost.
Still not sure if an electric bike is for you? The Oben Rorr makes the decision easy and exciting. It is not just about fuel savings and lower emissions — it’s about creating a new riding experience in 2025. With its mix of retro charm and futuristic tech, the Rorr is truly the electric motorcycle you didn’t know you were waiting for.
