Price And Verdict

The newly launched Avore EX1 looks like quite a promising product, at least on paper. For the first 10,000 customers, the price remains Rs 1,24,999 (ex-showroom), making it more affordable than the Revolt RVX. For the extra price, the Revolt offers faster charging and the convenience of keyless ignition. 

However, the EX1 should feel quicker in real-world riding conditions thanks to its stronger on-paper performance figures. It also packs a more powerful motor making it a more compelling option for buyers who prioritise performance. That said, the Revolt still has an edge with its more established service network and proven ownership experience
