Oben EV’s New Electric Bike Is Coming Soon

Bengaluru-based start-up Oben EV has announced its future plans. The company’s first product, an electric motorcycle, will be introduced in the first quarter of 2022, probably in March 2022. This will be followed by three other two-wheelers which will be launched every six months from the next two years.

The electric motorcycle will take on the niche affordable electric motorcycle segment in India, going against the Tork Kratos and the Revolt RV400.

While the name of the bike is still unclear, Oben EV has revealed some of the bike’s specs. The upcoming bike will have a claimed top speed of 100kmph along with a claimed range of  200km. However, this range is for ideal conditions, meaning the real-world range will be lower. Nevertheless, these specs are on par with its rivals.  

In terms of features, the bike will get a colour LCD console, LED illumination, and smartphone connectivity via Oben EV’s app. This will be complemented by a fairly good-looking design (at least in the renders). 

Expect the Oben EV e-bike to retail at around Rs 1.2-1.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
