The electric vehicle market has been witnessing a significant shift, with many consumers showing interest in sustainable transportation options. One notable entrant in this category is the Oben Rorr EZ electric motorcycle, launched by Oben Electric in Bangalore towards the end of last year. With its impressive range and advanced features, it has garnered considerable attention from potential buyers. However, recent news from the company may cause some concern for those considering a purchase.
Oben Electric has announced a price increase of ₹10,000 for the Rorr EZ electric bike’s battery options. As a result, the new prices for the 3.4 kWh and 4.4 kWh battery variants are now ₹1.10 lakh and ₹1.20 lakh respectively (ex-showroom). This increase might prompt interested buyers to make their purchases sooner rather than later.
Electric Bike Range, Speed, and Features
On a positive note, the entry-level variant of the Oben Rorr EZ remains unaffected by the price hike, maintaining a price of ₹90,000. However, there are speculations that this price may also see an increase in the near future. The Oben Rorr EZ electric motorcycle is available in three battery options: the 2.6 kWh and 3.4 kWh LFP batteries offer ranges of 110 km and 140 km respectively.
The top-tier model boasts a robust 4.4 kWh battery, enabling it to cover an impressive distance of up to 175 kilometers on a full charge. Each variant of the bike has a top speed of 95 km/h, and it accelerates from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance capabilities. Additionally, the bike generates a torque of 52 Nm, enhancing its overall riding experience.
When it comes to features, the Oben Rorr EZ is equipped with a range of modern technologies. It includes an LED instrument cluster, geo-fencing capabilities, battery theft protection, and a driver alert system. The bike also features a combined braking system and three riding modes: Eco, City, and Havoc, allowing riders to tailor their experience according to their preferences. According to the manufacturer, the battery can achieve up to 80% charge in just 45 minutes using a fast charger. Furthermore, the bike comes with a warranty covering 5 years or 75,000 kilometers.
Conclusion
With its combination of range, speed, and advanced features, the Oben Rorr EZ electric bike is an attractive option for those looking to invest in an electric vehicle. However, with the recent price increase, potential buyers are encouraged to act swiftly to take advantage of the current pricing. As the electric bike market continues to evolve, the Oben Rorr EZ stands out as a compelling choice for environmentally conscious consumers seeking performance and reliability in their ride.
