Best Electric Bikes in India 2026: Ola Roadster vs Revolt RV400 vs Oben Rorr vs Ultraviolette, Price and Real Range

Electric motorcycles finally make sense for a lot of Indian riders in 2026. Prices now start at about Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom, the same money as a good 150cc petrol bike, and running costs are a fraction of petrol. The catch is range: brochure figures are lab numbers, and real-world range is often 10 to 40% lower, more if you ride hard. Here is every electric bike actually on sale, with prices, claimed vs real range, and our picks.

Which electric bikes are on sale in India right now?

As of October 2026, these electric motorcycles are on sale: Revolt RV1, RV1+, RV BlazeX, RV400 and RVX; Ola Roadster X and Roadster X+; Oben Rorr EZ Sigma and Rorr EVO; Matter Aera; Raptee.HV T30; Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 (phased roll-out starting in Bengaluru); and the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 and X-47.

What is not on sale: the Ultraviolette Shockwave and Tesseract are listed by BikeWale as upcoming (tentatively early 2027), Bajaj's electric motorcycle is still a future product, and Hero and TVS sell electric scooters, not motorcycles. The Tork Kratos R has been out of production since October 2024 as per MeraEV, so we have left it out.

Electric bike price, range and specs compared

A quick note on how to read range. Claimed range (IDC or ARAI) is a lab test at low, steady speeds. Real-world range here is either an independent test (Autocar India, Cartoq) or the owner average published by BikeWale or Autocar India. Where no one has measured it yet, we say so.

Best electric bikes in India 2026: model by model

Revolt RV1 and RV400: the practical city picks

The Revolt RV1 is the cheapest real electric motorcycle at about Rs 1 lakh, with a 2.2 kWh battery, 100 km claimed range and a 70 km/h top speed. Owners report about 113 km per charge on BikeWale. Base variants such as the RV400 BRZ skip turn-by-turn navigation, so riders who navigate daily often add a 5 inch bike CarPlay screen. The RV1+ steps up to 3.24 kWh and 160 km claimed.

The RV400 (Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 1.40 lakh) is quicker, tops out at 85 km/h, and owners average about 140 km against the 150 km claim. Its battery is removable, a big plus if you live in a flat with no parking socket. Warranty is listed at 3.25 years or 40,000 km on the battery and 5 years on the motor. City riders who commute every day should budget for touchscreen-friendly riding gloves too, since the RV400's app and the bike's switches get used a lot.

Ola Roadster X and X+: most range for the money

Ola's Roadster X starts at Rs 1,04,999 on Ola's site, and Autocar India lists Rs 1.05 lakh to Rs 1.30 lakh across 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 kWh packs. IDC range is 140, 196 and 252 km, with a top speed of up to 118 km/h. The battery warranty is 3 years or 50,000 km.

Real range is lower. In a Cartoq range test the 2.5 kWh model managed about 83 km with a pillion on mixed roads, while Autocar India's owner data shows about 145 km. The Roadster X+ 9.1 kWh claims up to 501 km for Rs 1,54,999 on Ola's comparison table, the longest claimed range here, though no independent test has confirmed it yet. Ola's service network has drawn criticism in the past, so check your local service centre before buying.

Oben Rorr EVO and Rorr EZ Sigma: best balance

The Rorr EVO launched on 30 April 2026 at an introductory Rs 1 lakh for the first 10,000 buyers, and is now Rs 1.25 lakh. It uses a 3.4 kWh LFP battery, claims 180 km IDC and 110 km/h, and Autocar India reports an 8 year battery warranty at launch. Owners on BikeWale report about 165 km, the closest real-to-claimed ratio in this list. The cheaper Rorr EZ Sigma (Rs 1.10 lakh to Rs 1.20 lakh) offers 3.4 or 4.4 kWh packs with 140 or 175 km claimed range.

Whichever bike you buy, a parked EV at a metro station or office lot is an easy target for helmet theft, so a 12mm combination helmet lock is a cheap habit worth building.

Matter Aera: the geared electric

The Matter Aera (about Rs 1.83 lakh to Rs 1.94 lakh average ex-showroom on BikeWale) is an electric motorcycle with a manual gearbox, a 5 kWh battery and a 172 km claimed range. Owner reviews on BikeWale vary a lot, some well below the claim, so take a long test ride.

Raptee.HV T30 and Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6: premium middle

The Raptee.HV T30 (Rs 2.39 lakh at launch) uses the CCS2 fast-charging standard shared with electric cars, with 20 to 80% in a claimed 36 minutes. It hits 135 km/h, but Autocar India's review saw only about 55 to 60 km before the charge fell to 25% when ridden hard in Power and Sprint modes.

Royal Enfield's first EV, the Flying Flea C6, costs Rs 2.79 lakh, or Rs 1.99 lakh with Battery-as-a-Service. It has a 3.91 kWh battery, 154 km IDC range and a 115 km/h top speed, as per Rushlane.

Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2: the performance pick

At Rs 3.09 lakh to Rs 4.24 lakh, the F77 Mach 2 is a true sportbike: 155 km/h, 7.1 kWh or 10.3 kWh (Recon) batteries and 211 or 323 km claimed range. Autocar India lists a user-reported 228 km. The battery warranty is 3 years or 60,000 km.

Does PM E-Drive subsidy apply to electric motorcycles?

The PM E-Drive scheme has been extended to 31 March 2028 for electric two-wheelers, as per Autocar India and Autocar Pro (11 August 2026). The incentive is Rs 2,500 per kWh, capped at Rs 5,000 or 15% of the ex-factory price, whichever is lower, and only for vehicles with an ex-factory price up to Rs 1.5 lakh. The scheme talks about electric two-wheelers in general and does not set separate rules for motorcycles.

So costlier bikes such as the Raptee, Flying Flea, Matter Aera and Ultraviolette are outside the price limit. For bikes priced near or below Rs 1.5 lakh, the brands have not published which models are certified, so ask the dealer whether the quoted price already includes the subsidy. The scheme is also fund-limited and can close early if money runs out.

Electric bike vs 150cc petrol bike: cost per km

The math: battery size multiplied by Rs 6.50 per unit (Delhi home tariff), divided by real-world range. A Pulsar 150 at 48 kmpl owner mileage and Rs 102.12 per litre costs about Rs 2.13 per km. An Oben Rorr EVO at 165 km per charge costs about Rs 0.13 per km. At 1,000 km a month that is roughly Rs 2,130 vs Rs 135. Our full guide to EV charging cost in India explains public charging rates too.

If you keep an older petrol commuter alongside your new EV, an H4 LED such as the NightHawk 40W bike LED headlight suits bikes and scooters that use an H4 halogen bulb; most electric bikes already come with LED lighting and do not need it.

Pros and cons of going electric on two wheels

Electric bikes usually sleep outdoors near a charging point, so a waterproof Hydra bike cover protects the display, switches and charging port from rain and dust. And because rolling resistance eats range, check tyre pressure weekly; a 150 PSI tyre inflator kept in the family car's boot can top up bike tyres too.

Product spotlight: If your electric bike's display has no maps, the Autofy Motoplay is a waterproof 5 inch screen that brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto maps, music and calls to any motorcycle handlebar, electric or petrol. See the Motoplay screen
