Scrolling through Amazon and spotting a full-sized electric motorcycle might feel like a sci-fi plot twist—yet that’s exactly what’s happening with the Oben Rorr EZ. India’s first e-motorcycle, you can add to your cart, it melds commuter-friendly specs with online-shopping ease, and early feedback on range, price, and day-to-day usability has been buzzing.
The Oben Rorr EZ promises a 95 km/h top speed, a 0–40 km/h sprint in just 3.3 seconds, and up to 175 km of IDC-certified range, all from a ₹1.19 L – ₹1.29 L price tag (roughly $1,450–$1,575). How does that stack up in real-world city riding, and is the “Amazon buy” model truly a game-changer? Let’s unpack.
What Makes Rorr EZ Worthy
Built on Oben’s proprietary ARX platform, the Rorr EZ offers:
- Top speed: 95 km/h | Acceleration: 0–40 km/h in 3.3 s
- IDC-certified range: up to 175 km
- Battery options: 3.4 kWh or 4.4 kWh LFP pack with fast-charge to 80% in under 2 hours
- Torque: 52 Nm | Peak power: 7.5 kW
- Riding modes: Eco, City, Havoc
- Advanced features: Geo-Fencing, Theft Protection, Unified Brake Assist, Drive Assist System
- The introductory Amazon prices include a ₹20,000 discount, making the base model effectively ₹99,999 ($1,215)—an astonishing value for an electric motorcycle.
Oben Electric CEO Madhumita Agrawal explains, “Making Rorr EZ available on Amazon aligns with evolving purchase behaviour. As consumers increasingly turn to online platforms for major buys, e-commerce gives us a direct, trusted channel to reach first-time EV buyers”.
In India’s rapidly digital market, this move widens reach beyond the traditional showroom footprint, offering easy EMI plans, a ₹2,000 booking token, and doorstep delivery within 15 days. Delivery estimates typically range from 15 to 20 business days, with easy cancellation options available until the item is dispatched.
YouTube reviewers in Bengaluru praise the Rorr EZ’s nimble handling and smooth belt drive. “Instant torque and responsive City mode make traffic weaving a breeze,” notes one tester, while others clocked real-world ranges of 130–140 km on the 4.4 kWh pack, slightly under the IDC claim but more than enough for a full day’s urban commute.
Indian forum voices underscore “value for money” and “ideal city commuter” as top themes. One Redditor reports 140 km on a single charge, though some warn of a patchy service network and side-stand stability issues. On BikeWale, owners highlight smooth performance but call for expanded after-sales support.
Compared to the Ather 450S and TVS iQube, the Rorr EZ edges ahead on torque and introductory cost but trails on nationwide dealer presence and connected-app polish. Ultraviolette F77 outperforms on sport riding, but at nearly triple the price, it targets enthusiasts rather than daily commuters.
Before Hitting “Buy Now”
- Verify state-level EV incentives (up to ₹30,000 in some regions)
- Understand RTO registration and insurance steps—unlike e-scooters, motorcycles require full paperwork
- Locate the nearest Oben service center via their website

Ordering a motorcycle like a smartphone still feels futuristic, but the Oben Rorr EZ makes it a reality and an affordable option for urban riders. If eco-friendly commuting and digital convenience top your list, your next “Add to Cart” might just be a motorcycle.
