Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler startup Oben Electric has begun sales of its Rudder electric motorcycle in Delhi, with the bike wearing a discounted price tag for early adopters. Along with opening a showroom in Pitampura, Delhi, Oben has slashed the Rorr’s price to Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom). Factoring in the state subsidy of Rs 20,000, the Rorr’s introductory price in Delhi drops to Rs 1.10 lakh, which is a considerable Rs 40,000 cheaper than its price in Bengaluru (Rs 1.50 lakh; ex-showroom). However, this price will only be on offer for the first 100 Rorr buyers in Delhi.
