Matter unveils India’s first geared electric bike

Matter launched its electric bike in India equipped with a 5kWh liquid-cooled battery and a 14bhp liquid-cooled electric motor producing an incredible 520Nm. Moreover, it is also the first electric bike in the country to get a four-speed gearbox. The design of the bike looks striking and once it hits the roads, it should stand out in a crowd.

The Matter motorbike is an electric street naked-style motorcycle. The bike looks stylish with its sharp creases and curves all along the body line. The bike was unveiled in four colour options — black, blue, red and neon. The turn indicators are placed on the front end of the tank and help the motorcycle stand out from the crowd. The 3-dimensional design of the headlamp housing also looks distinct. Moreover, the bike also gets 5-litre of storage space where the fuel tank would be in an ICE bike.

Matter claims a range of 125 to 150km and is compatible with a fast charger as well as a standard 1kW slow charger. The slow charger is a standard 5A plug which makes the charging of the vehicle possible anywhere. The standard charger takes less than five hours to charge and has overcharge protection. The battery also adheres to safety standards such as AIS 041 and IP65 water resistance.
