After a long gap, Revolt Motors is back in the spotlight with the launch of its latest electric motorcycle, the Revolt RV1.
This new model targets the commuter segment and follows the company’s earlier success with the RV300, India’s first electric motorcycle.
The RV1 is now positioned as the country’s first commuter motorcycle, available in two variants: RV1 and RV1 Plus. The base model is priced at Rs 84,990, while the Plus version is available for Rs 99,990 (ex-showroom).
The RV1 offers a 2.2 kWh battery pack with a range of up to 100 km, while the RV1 Plus comes with a larger 3.24 kWh battery, extending the range to 160 km.
Here are some of the key specifications of the newly launched RV1 Electric Motorcycle:
