The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is spreading over the world, and India is no different. In 2025, Matter stands out among a sea of e-scooters and high-performance electric motorcycles. The Matter bike is not just another electric vehicle; it’s a game-changer in the electric two-wheeler sector. Here is why.
1. India's First Geared Electric Motorcycle
The Matter bike is India’s first geared electric motorcycle. It has a 4-speed HyperShift manual gearbox. This system combines the fun of shifting gears with the efficiency of an electric drivetrain, giving you better control and a more exciting ride.
2. Impressive Powertrain and Performance
The Matter bike has a 10.5 kW motor with 520 Nm of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 km/h in less than 6 seconds and has a top speed of 105 km/h. This electric motorcycle has a lot of power and can compete with entry-level gas bikes.
3. Liquid-Cooled Battery System
Managing heat is very important for electric bikes, especially in hot places like India. Matter solves this problem with a battery pack that is cooled by liquid, which is the first of its kind in India. By keeping the temperature stable, this mechanism makes sure that the battery works at its best and lasts as long as possible, even when it is used a lot.
The battery is a 5 kWh pack that can go 125 to 150 miles on a single charge in the real world. That makes it perfect for short weekend trips and daily commutes to the metropolis.
4. Fast Charging with Swappable Battery Options
The Matter bike can charge quickly, getting up to 80% in less than two hours. This makes it easy to use. Matter has also hinted that it would make swappable battery alternatives for future models. This could make refilling much faster and make the cars better for lengthy trips.
These attributes make a major difference in how many people buy electric vehicles and how happy they are with them, since India’s EV infrastructure is still growing.
5. Cutting-Edge Tech and Connectivity
The Matter bike has a lot of smart features, such a 7-inch touchscreen that runs Android, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, navigation, and over-the-air upgrades. Keyless start, ride analytics, and app connectivity make this bike as high-tech as a high-end motorcycle.
6. Safety and Ride Quality
The Matter bike has dual disc brakes, ABS, and regenerative braking for safety. It is built on a lightweight frame. The low center of gravity makes the bike more stable and easier to control, and the telescopic forks and rear shocks make it more comfortable.
7. Striking Design and Customization
The Matter bike distinguishes out because of its clean lines, LED lights, and futuristic design. Customers can choose from factory color and design options to make it their own, which makes it both stylish and desirable.
8. Affordability and Value for Money
The Matter bike has top-of-the-line features for a good price, around INR 1.7–1.8 million. Subsidies lower the cost even more, making it a great deal compared to both ICE and electric competitors.
9. Made in India, for India
Matter is a brand that comes from India, and the bike is conceived, built, and made there. Not only does this make sure it satisfies the needs of Indian riders, but it also helps the local economy. It also means better service and spare parts availability, which is very important for buyer confidence.
10. Future-Ready Philosophy
Matter is already getting ready for future growth, even if the current model is still in use. Plans for the future include a variety of electric vehicles (EVs) for diverse markets, such as scooters, delivery vehicles, and performance cruisers. The Matter bike is ready for the future since it has a modular platform and can get over-the-air updates. It will change with user wants and technology advances.
Final Thoughts
The Matter bike is changing the way people get about in India. It combines old and new ideas with its geared gearbox, liquid-cooled batteries, and smart features, all at a price that most people can afford. It’s a big stride into the future of two-wheelers, whether you ride them every day or are a tech-savvy rider.
