In 2019, Micromax co-founder and CEO, Rahul Sharma, surprised all of us with a shocking announcement. He had founded Revolt Motors, an EV startup with the promise of delivering India’s first electric motorcycle. Headquartered in Gurgaon and with a production plant in Manesar, the company launched the RV400 electric motorcycle on 7th August 2019. It was packed with features that hadn’t been seen before in any of the Indian 2-wheeler EVs, such as synthetic engine noises played from built in speakers in the bike’s body. With performance equivalent to a 125cc petrol motorcycle and features from all the top EV 2- wheelers such as Bluetooth connectivity, geo fencing, LED lighting, multiple riding modes and over the air updates, it drew immediate interest from a lot of potential buyers. Also the RV400 came with a large removable battery, which coupled with Revolt’s promise of setting up swap stations across the country made the RV400 a very viable option for many. But one of the most interesting thing about this electric motorcycle was its subscription based pricing - the first of its kind for any vehicle in India.

The company also launched a more affordable version of their electric motorcycle, the RV300, which came with a smaller battery and a less powerful hub motor. In 2021, pizza giant Dominos announced that they’d be replacing their petrol powered delivery fleet with the RV300 electric. And the RV300 has been pretty much sold out for the general public since then. In the same year, RattanIndia, a company involved in the energy sector, invested Rs 150 crore in Revolt for a 43 percent stake in the company. The primary objective of this investment was to help Revolt set up battery swap stations across the country, which would make the RV400 an even more attractive option for many more potential buyers.

Currently, Revolt Motors has showrooms, called “Revolt Hubs”, in 23 cities across the country and will soon be expanding to more cities. Going forward, the company plans to also launch an electric cafe racer in the country.
