Revolt Motors, India’s No.1 electric motorcycle company, is poised to transform the motorcycle market with the launch of its groundbreaking electric motorcycle in the commuter segment, the Revolt RV1. India is primarily a motorcycling country with motorcycles comprising 70% of all two-wheelers sold in India. Within the motorcycles market of about 1.25 crores motorcycles sold annually in India, the commuter segment comprises the largest share with more than 80 lac motorcycles sold in the commuter segment.
The RV1 and its premium variant, RV1+, are offered in four striking colours, priced at an introductory ₹84,990 for the RV1 and ₹99,990 for the RV1+. These models bring electric motorcycling to a wider audience with their affordability and offer up to three times lower ownership costs compared to petrol motorcycles in the same category. This launch further strengthens Revolt Motors premium electric lineup, which includes popular models like the RV400 and RV400 BRZ.
Setting a new benchmark in the electric motorcycle industry, the RV1 boasts a robust 250 kg payload capacity—significantly higher than the 150 kg average seen in other commuter motorcycles. It features broader tyres for improved grip and stability, making it perfect for both city streets and longer journeys. Powered by a mid-motor and a premium chain drive system, the RV1 ensures seamless acceleration and smooth riding performance.
Dual disc brakes, a feature not commonly found in other commuter motorcycles, enhance safety by providing superior stopping power. The bike also offers multiple speed modes for versatile riding and introduces a reverse mode—a first in its category—ensuring ease in tight parking spaces.
A sleek 6-inch digital LCD display provides real-time ride data and error codes, ensuring a connected and informed riding experience. Stylish LED headlights and taillights enhance both the aesthetics and visibility of the RV1, making it a standout on the road. Riders can enjoy the added benefit of built-in charger storage in both the variants. With the fast-charging technology, the RV1+ can get fully charged in just 1.5 hours.
In terms of range, the RV1 comes with two battery options: a 2.2 kWh battery offering up to 100 km range, and a 3.24 kWh battery extending the range to 160 km—perfect for longer rides. Both battery options are IP67-rated for water resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions.
Comfort remains a key highlight of the RV1. With the longest seat in its category and a frame designed for multiple passengers, it is ideal for families and daily commuters alike. The advanced suspension system ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, even on rough terrains, making the RV1 the perfect blend of practicality and performance for modern riders.
Furthermore, Revolt Motors is excited to announce the upgrade of its flagship model, the RV400, which now comes with enhanced features to further improve performance, convenience, and safety.
