The electric motorcycle segment is seeing new additions, and the latest is the Orxa Mantis, an electric motorcycle aimed at the 250cc motorcycle segment. With the launch of the Mantis, there is an electric motorcycle offering in each segment, the 150cc, 250cc, and sub-500cc, in the form of the Ultraviolette F77. Here’s a detailed specifications comparison between the Oben Rorr, Orxa Mantis, and the F77.
Orxa Mantis
Starting with the Mantis, the motorcycle gets a unique design language with creases in its body, built around an aluminium alloy frame that uses the battery pack as a stressed member. The Mantis is happy to tip into corners and features telescopic forks, a monoshock at the rear, disc brakes at both ends with a single-channel ABS, a TFT display, phone connectivity and a liquid-cooled motor, the first EV to do so in India.
Oben Rorr
The Oben Rorr sits in a segment below the Mantis, targeting the 150cc segment. The Oben Rorr features a traditional motorcycle design with a comfortable, yet sporty rider’s triangle. The Rorr gets telescopic front suspension, a monoshock at the rear, an LCD instrument console, ride modes, disc brakes at both ends with a combi-brake system, and an under-seat storage to carry the portable charger.
Ultraviolette F77
The Ultraviolette F77 can be described as fast. It has the biggest battery pack, makes the most power, and features a full fairing apart from the front. The F77 gets clip-on bars, adjustable USD forks in the front, a monoshock at the rear, dual-channel ABS, and TFT display, and features a sporty riding position.
