Record Sales Mark a Turning Point for Indian EV Motorcycles
Oben Electric, the Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler startup, has achieved a significant milestone by selling 1,443 motorcycles between January and July 9, 2025, according to Vahan data. In total, the company has sold 2,077 units since July 2024, with the recent surge driven largely by the popularity of the Rorr EZ model. These figures highlight the growing acceptance of electric motorcycles in India’s commuter and enthusiast segments.
