    Oben Electric launches Roar EVO with 180 km range at ₹99,999

    Oben Electric has unveiled its latest electric motorcycle, the Roar EVO, at a starting price of ₹99,999 (ex-showroom) for the first 10,000 customers.

    Positioned as a game-changer in the segment, the Roarer EVO has been designed to offer a seamless blend of style, performance and practicality. This motorcycle is a significant step in the evolution of electric two-wheelers, aiming to redefine rider expectations in the category.

    Developed with a focus on eliminating the traditional trade-off between thrills and everyday utility, the Roar EVO has been engineered as a no-compromise motorcycle for real-world conditions. It has an aggressive streetfighter design with strong performance capabilities and thoughtfully integrated features, making it exciting to ride and convenient for daily use.

    At first glance, the Roarer EVO stands out with its bold, muscular proportions and commanding stance. The front is defined by projector headlamps with signature front position lamps, providing both strong visual identity and enhanced visibility for everyday riding conditions. Sculpted body panels, premium details and a well-balanced silhouette further strengthen its road presence.

    Underneath this design is a display built to perform consistently. The Rohr EVO reaches a top speed of 110 km/h and offers a certified range of 180 km IDC, ensuring that it is equally capable of demanding daily riding. It supports 0-80% fast charging in just 90 minutes with the Oben Plug (Fast Charger), and is equipped with the Oben Port, its onboard charger, for convenient everyday charging.

    At the core of this experience is the introduction of SmartIQ, Oben’s new AI ride mode that analyzes riding patterns in real-time and optimizes power delivery to increase range by up to 15%. By automatically adapting to rider behaviour, SmartIQ removes the need for constant manual intervention, allowing performance and efficiency to work together seamlessly.

    Powering the motorcycle is an IP68-rated motor, designed, developed and manufactured in-house by Oben Electric. This is paired with a newly introduced single-stage chain drive, which enhances durability while delivering stronger on-wheel torque and a more direct, engaging ride experience. The Roar EVO is equipped with Auben’s proprietary 3.4 kWh high-performance LFP battery, engineered for Indian conditions. Offering 50% greater heat resistance and 2X the lifecycle than traditional lithium-ion batteries, it delivers consistent performance over time while maintaining a high level of safety and reliability. The battery is housed in a high strength aluminum structure for superior impact resistance and is backed with an 8-year warranty, reinforcing long-term ownership confidence.

    This level of engineering is enabled by Oben’s deep vertical integration, where critical components including the motor, battery, charger, display and vehicle control system as well as the entire software and firmware stack are developed entirely in-house. This approach allows for tighter quality control, faster innovation and a more reliable ownership experience.

    Beyond performance, the Roar EVO sets a new standard in practicality in its segment. It has the tallest seat in the segment at 680 mm, designed as a unit to enhance the comfort of both the rider and pillion and one of the most accessible seat heights in its class at 780 mm. For the first time in a motorcycle, the Roar EVO offers a total of 10 liters of storage, including under seat storage and tank pod storage paired with dual USB charging ports, bringing a level of everyday convenience rarely seen in this category. A reverse mode further improves ease of use in tight urban environments.

    A unique combination of seat height of 780 mm, along with 200 mm ground clearance, makes it one of the most comfortable and practical motorcycles in the Indian market. The Rohr EVO also offers 230mm of water-wading capability, making it suitable for a variety of road and weather conditions.

    Security and connectivity are also integral to the Rorr EVO experience. The motorcycle is introduced with Fall Alert with Emergency Assist, a feature that detects a fall and triggers an alert through the Oben app, notifying emergency contacts if necessary. Additional safety features include Unified Brake Assist (UBA), Driver Alert System (DAS), safe charging and wide rear tire for better stability.

    The Roar EVO is equipped with a 5-inch color TFT display, which provides navigation, ride data and smart alerts for calls, texts and music. Through the Oben Electric app, riders can access ride history, geo-fencing, remote diagnostics, theft protection and ‘Find My Roar’ and 24×7 service support along with access to 68,000+ charging networks, ensuring a completely connected ownership experience.

    Commenting on the launch, Madhumita Agarwal, Founder and CEO of Oben Electric, said: “Electric motorcycles in India are entering a new phase, where riders are no longer evaluating electric vehicles as options, but as motorcycles in their own right. The Roar EVO is built on that belief. It is a no-compromise product designed to prove that electric can match and surpass the full spectrum of real-world riding, not selectively, but Absolutely. The Roar EVO is designed to make that change tangible on the road.”
