This is exciting news! I've been waiting for Oben to come to Ahmedabad. Their bikes look premium and the vertical integration gives me confidence in quality. Hope they offer test rides soon! �

While I appreciate the expansion, I hope Oben focuses equally on service quality as they scale. Some EV companies struggle with after-sales when growing too fast. The Hyderabad service center better be well-staffed!

Finally some good EV options coming to smaller cities like Warangal! The charging infrastructure here isn't great though - hope Oben partners with local businesses to install more charging points.

Love seeing Indian startups grow like this! The fact that they design everything in-house is impressive. My cousin in Bangalore has their bike and says the performance is amazing. Might be my next purchase 👀

From 11 to 35 showrooms in just 4 months is insane growth! Hope they can maintain quality control at this pace. The LFP battery tech sounds promising for Indian weather conditions.
