Revolt RV 400

Revolt RV 400 Highlights

Latest On: Revolt will launch India’s first all-electric motorcycle, the RV 400, on August 28. The electric bike maker will announce the price at the launch event along with the specifications of the electric bike. For now, the e-motorcycle will be available only in Delhi and Pune, and the deliveries for the two cities will commence from September this year. Other regions like Delhi-NCR, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Chennai will get the motorcycle in the next couple of months. 

Revolt Motors has introduced its official app on the Google Play Store, which allows owners to cycle through different sounds, set geo-fencing and even order lithium-ion batteries online! The company is yet to introduce the app on iOS. Official bookings for the all-electric motorcycle have already commenced in Delhi and Pune for a token of Rs 1,000. Bookings for the RV 400 can be done via Amazon or the company’s official website. 

The bike features a compact design, all-LED lighting and a digital instrument console. It can be remotely started via the Revolt app. It gets in-built geofencing tech that allows you to remotely locate your RV 400 as well as set a perimeter for it to operate in. The electric motorcycle will offer a choice of four artificial exhaust note options. Now, whether the company will offer more custom exhaust sounds in the future via OTA updates or not is yet to be seen. Revolt’s upcoming AI-enabled electric motorcycle has cleared ARAI’s homologation tests. The tests included gradient ability, battery output, battery life, shock proofing, waterproofing, weather resistance and even a nail penetration test. Under the ARAI test cycle, the electric scooter gave a battery range of 156km. 

The RV 400 has an inbuilt charger from which you can charge the bike anywhere using a 15amp charger. Charge time is four hours. It also features a portable battery which you can charge from home. You can also swap your depleted battery for a fresh one at one of Revolt’s Mobile swapping stations. Another new feature is the ability to order a battery from your home via the app. 

We expect the RV 400 to be priced around Rs 1 lakh after the Fame II subsidy. At this price, it will compete with conventional motorcycles like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Suzuki Gixxer.
