Matter, an innovation-led tech start-up, named its much-anticipated motorbike, Aera, representing the "winds of change." Matter aims to disrupt through tech innovations and lead the electric vehicle (EV) transition towards a sustainable future.
Matter Aera variants are called Aera 4000, Aera 5000, Aera 5000+ and Aera 6000+. The pre-register price for Aera 5000 will be at Rs 1,43,999/- and Aera 5000+ will be at Rs 1,53,999/- with one uniform pre-register price across India. Matter Aera comes in two battery capacities i.e.5kWh and 6kWh. The pre-register prices take into account the central governments support through subsidies and GST slab. The state government benefits can be availed of by the customers during the registration process. Further, Aera 6000+ will soon be launched with a 6-kWh battery pack.
The electric motorcycle has contemporary sporty looks, cutting-edge technology, is powered by a state-of-the-art in-house built liquid-cooled battery pack and powertrain that disrupts existing paradigms by incorporating manual gear shifting in an electric motorbike.
Mohal Lalbhai, Founder and CEO of Matter Group, said: "Aera truly represents our philosophy to be an agent of change, challenging the status quo through the tech innovations. We not only sought to create a mobility solution that defies expectations of what an EV can achieve in India but also create the pathways for wider transition to sustainable means of mobility…"
