Price Difference

The Oben Rorr EZ is Rs 5,000 more expensive than the Revolt RV1. However, for that extra money, Oben offers a 2.6 kWh battery pack, 10 km more range than the RV1, better power, and, most importantly, more athletic looks. The Rorr EZ features disc brakes on both wheels, monoshock suspension, and a neo-roadster body style.

On the other hand, the design of the Revolt RV1 will remind you of older commuter bikes like the Hero CT 100 and the first-generation Bajaj Pulsar. Additionally, the grab handle of the RV1 has an old-school feel. In contrast, the new Rorr EZ has an attitude that will catch the eye of Generation Z.

Now, let us check all the variations the Rorr EZ is available in:

• 2.6 kWh - Rs 89,999
• 3.4 kWh - Rs 99,999
• 4.4 kWh - Rs 1,09,999

Revolt RV1 variants:

• RV1 - Rs 84,990
• RV1 Plus - Rs 99,990

Oben Rorr EZ vs Revolt RV1: Battey pack and Range

The 2.6 kWh entry-level battery pack of the Rorr EZ offers a range of up to 110 km, with a power output of 10 hp, torque of 52 Nm, and a top speed of 95 km/h. The charging time for this battery is 45 minutes. Other battery options include a 3.4 kWh pack with a range of 140 km and a 4.4 kWh pack with a range of 175 km.

The Revolt RV1 is equipped with a 2.2 kWh battery pack, providing a range of 100 km on a full charge. The second variant, the RV1 Plus, comes with a 3.24 kWh battery pack, extending the motorcycle's range to 160 km. According to the official website, the RV1 has a top speed of 70 km/h and takes 2.15 hours to charge from 0 to 80 percent.

So, on paper, the Rorr EZ looks like a more exciting and efficient bike, but the price difference between the top-spec variants of both bikes is 910,000. This is a significant difference, especially since this is the ex-showroom price, and the on-road price could vary even more.
