Step aside, petrol-pedaling hogs! India's Oben Electric is about to shift gears and rev into the hearts of the e-motorcycle community with their much-anticipated roadster, the Rorr. Up until now, this tantalizingly sporty eco-beast was but a twinkle in the company's eye, a prototype champing at the bit. But with July's arrival, we're hearing the sweet music of rubber meeting road as the first Rorr bikes vroom off the production line.

Picture this: You've been salivating for a snazzy, sleek machine to dominate the highway, something that'll make heads turn faster than a Beyoncé wardrobe malfunction. And, you're a conscientious climate hero who wants to give Mother Nature a break. Enter the Rorr, making its grand entrance on the e-motorcycle runway, all dressed up and ready to roll.

To give customers a tantalizing glimpse of their eco-futuristic tech, Oben Electric threw open the doors of a swanky new experience center in Bangalore. These aren't your dad's run-of-the-mill showrooms; they're virtual tech wonderlands that let you ogle the shiny, eco-friendly beasts up close, explaining the wizardry under the bonnet in terms any muggle can understand.

At last count, over 21,000 folks were queuing up for the Rorr, almost like a Black Friday sale but for motorheads! And why wouldn’t they? This beast boasts a spiffy 10-kilowatt IPMSM electric motor, engineered in-house, that lets you bolt from zero to 25 mph in a whiplash-worthy three seconds! But it keeps things classy with a top speed capped at 62 mph – plenty to give your inner speed demon a thrill without terrifying your mum.

With 21 patents under its belt, Oben Electric is tooting its own horn about the Rorr's 95% component-level localization. Essentially, this bike's innards are as Indian as a spicy masala dosa, most of them whipped up in their own back room. Take the Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, for example. This isn't your grandpa's battery pack; it's a sturdy powerhouse offering oodles of recharge cycles, heat resistance, and superfast charging, all developed by Oben itself. And according to the boffins over there, it gets fully juiced up in a mere two hours.

With a price tag of around $1,830, the Rorr is as accessible as a rickshaw but infinitely more stylish. So, if you're part of the 21,000-strong fan club, brace yourselves! Your eco-friendly ride is revving up and ready to roll. For those who aren't, what are you waiting for? This electrifying roadster isn't going to wait around forever!

Yours truly,

Captain Electro
