Matter Group has announced that they will be starting the deliveries of their Aera motorcycle during the festive season of 2024. It is important to note that the deliveries were originally slated to begin in Q1 of 2024. Matter Aera is the first electric motorcycle to come with gears that the rider needs to shift through. The electric motorcycle is offered in two variants 5000 and 5000+. They are priced at ₹1.74 lakh and ₹1.84 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom.
The company plans to bring two more variants next year. Both the 5000 and 5000+ get a 10 kW (13.4 bhp) electric motor that can sprint from 0-60 kmph in six seconds. The company promises a range of 125 km on a single charge.
The feature list comprises a 7-inch touchscreen console that brings navigation, music, calls and more. The Aera can be charged using any 5-amp socket, making it convenient enough to be plugged into any plug point. The manufacturer says its e-motorcycle offers a running cost of 25 paise per km.
