Revolt Ties Up With Vodafone Idea For 4G Connectivity

The 4G IoT connectivity will allow functions such as geo-fencing and location tracking

The Revolt RV300 and RV400 claim to be India’s first AI-enabled motorcycles, but in order to do this, they need to have some form of internet connectivity. That has now been taken care of, with Revolt and Vodafone Idea partnering to provide 4G IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity for the two motorcycles.

The motorcycles will feature a machine-to-machine SIM card that will provide 4G connectivity but cannot be used for other functions like making phone calls. The SIM will communicate with the bike’s control unit and also relay real-time information to Revolt’s servers.

This will allow the bikes to perform several functions such as voice commands, geo-fencing, real-time information & diagnostics and location tracking via Revolt’s app. You can read more about these features here.

The RV300 and RV400 can be bought either via the brand’s ‘My Revolt Plan’ subscription or through a one-time payment. The RV300 will set you back by Rs 84,999 while the RV400 costs Rs 98,999. The higher-spec RV400 is powered by a 3kW motor and is capable of a top speed of 85kmph in Sport mode, while giving a claimed range of 160km in City mode.

"We are extremely happy to announce this partnership with Revolt Motors and make India's first AI based electric motorbike truly smart through our IoT solutions. Electric Vehicles will disrupt the Indian automobile landscape in the coming few years. Connectivity will play a pivotal role in ensuring that electric vehicles are a success. It offers us an ideal opportunity to collaborate and introduce comprehensive end-to-end solutions for our partners in the automotive industry and enhance customer experience." said Nick Gliddon, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Vodafone Idea.
