The Revolt RV1 is India’s first commuter electric bike series with a payload capacity of 250 kg and a claimed range of up to 160 km
Revolt Motors has launched India’s first electric motorcycle in the commuter segment, named the RV1. Motorcycles dominate the Indian two-wheeler market, making up 70 per cent of total sales. In a market where around 1.25 crore motorcycles are sold annually, the commuter segment holds the largest share, accounting for over 80 lakh motorcycles.
The Revolt RV1 and RV1+ are available in four colour options, with introductory prices set at Rs. 84,990 for the RV1 and Rs. 99,990 for the RV1+ (both ex-showroom). These affordable models aim to make electric motorcycling more accessible, offering ownership costs up to three times lower than petrol motorcycles in the same category. This launch enhances Revolt Motors’ electric motorcycle portfolio, which already includes models like the RV400 and RV400 BRZ.
The Revolt RV1 offers an impressive payload capacity of 250 kg, which is notably higher than the typical 150 kg seen in other commuter motorcycles. With broader tyres, it provides enhanced grip and stability, making it ideal for navigating city streets and longer rides, as per the brand’s claims. It is powered by a mid-mounted electric motor.
