Oben Electric, India’s fastest-growing R&D-driven electric motorcycle manufacturer, has achieved a landmark month, emerging as India’s No. 1 selling electric motorcycle brand, with 1,417 electric motorcycle registrations, according to September 2026 Vahan data.
The milestone comes on the back of the strong market response to Rorr Evo, which has driven Oben Electric to its highest-ever monthly sales and established the motorcycle as a significant new force in India’s rapidly evolving electric motorcycle market.
Rorr Evo is at the centre of Oben Electric’s growth story, reflecting a growing appetite among riders for electric motorcycles that deliver the experience of a motorcycle first. Designed around the way Indian riders ride, use and choose their motorcycles, Rorr Evo has been developed as a motorcycle first, with performance, design, technology, range and everyday usability defining the product, and electric being the powertrain. The proposition is aimed not only at consumers looking to make the switch to electric, but also at riders evaluating Rorr Evo on the same attributes they would consider when choosing any motorcycle. The result is a motorcycle that stands on its own merits, one that happens to be electric.
These achievements mark a significant expansion of Oben’s market presence, reflecting its evolution from an emerging electric motorcycle manufacturer into a brand establishing meaningful scale in India’s electric motorcycle market.
Madhumita Agrawal, Founder & CEO, Oben Electric, said, ““Becoming India’s No. 1 selling electric motorcycle brand is a significant milestone for Oben and a strong validation of the trust our customers are placing in us and in Rorr Evo. India is the world’s largest motorcycle market, and the transition to electric mobility cannot truly reach scale without electric motorcycles playing a central role. For us, the opportunity has always been to make that transition meaningful for the millions of riders who depend on motorcycles every day. The response to Rorr Evo has been extremely encouraging because it shows that riders are willing to embrace electric when they find a motorcycle that meets their expectations. That is the shift we set out to create, and seeing it reflected in the market gives us even greater confidence in the road ahead.”
The momentum around Rorr Evo comes alongside an important manufacturing milestone for Oben Electric, which has recently rolled out its 10,000th electric motorcycle from its Bengaluru manufacturing facility. The achievement reflects the company’s growing production scale as it expands the Rorr Evo across markets and builds its presence in India’s electric motorcycle segment.
The strong market response to Rorr Evo is supported by Oben Electric’s R&D-driven and vertically integrated approach, with the company developing and manufacturing critical EV technologies including LFP batteries, motors, VCUs, chargers and proprietary software in-house. This gives Oben greater control across the product lifecycle, from technology development and engineering to quality and manufacturing enabling it to build electric motorcycles specifically for Indian riding conditions and customer needs.
This approach is backed by Oben Electric’s Made-in-India product development and manufacturing capabilities. The company operates a 3.5-acre manufacturing facility in Bengaluru with an annual production capacity of 1 lakh motorcycles, allowing it to scale production while maintaining control over manufacturing quality and processes. With its core R&D and manufacturing capabilities based in India, Oben is building an integrated electric motorcycle ecosystem designed to support its growth in India and its longer-term global ambitions.
Equally, Oben Electric is building the customer infrastructure needed to support its growing base of riders. Its nationwide network now comprises 150+ showrooms and dedicated Oben Care service centres across 90+ cities in 18 States, covering sales, test rides, deliveries and after-sales service. The expanding network is designed to ensure that as Oben scales its presence, customers have access to the support and service infrastructure required for a dependable ownership experience.
