New Delhi, 21st November 2022 – Matter, a technology start-up, today unveiled India’s first gearedelectric motorbike, mobilizing India’s 15 million motorbike market towards a beautiful future – one that is green and connected, aided by next generation technology. Perfected for trails and roadways, the motorbike has been designed and engineered in-house from the ground-up, with a consumer-
centric product development approach focused on safety, security, reliability, and performance. The vehicle will be manufactured from its facility in Ahmedabad and will be available across major cities in India.
Founder and Group CEO, Mohal Lalbhai, said – “This is a huge milestone in the journey with Arun, Prasad, Saran, and the 300 innovators at Matter. With many firsts, I am proud to say that this motorbike will be leading us into the future that we all have dreamt about. Our vision has motivated us to challenge the status quo, remain persistent and resilient towards the goal, and walk a difficult
path with agility.
The motorbike is powered by an integrated, high-energy density, 5 kWh Power Pack, the matterEnergy 1.0. The pack has multiple patented technologies including the Integrated Intelligent Thermal Management System (IITMS) that uses revolutionary active liquid cooling technology that ensures the optimum performance of all constituents of the pack, which also makes it India’s first liquid-
cooled electric two-wheeler battery pack. The super smart BMS on the pack constantly monitors and optimises the system for efficiency, security, and reliability. The motorbike supports both standard and fast charging through a common connector. The vehicle is equipped with a standard on-board 1kW Intelligent Charger, matterCharge 1.0, which offers the flexibility and convenience of charging the vehicle at any 5A, 3-pin plug point. The motorbike is designed to inspire emotion – defined by a sizeable, yet sleek silhouette that is familiar yet distinctive in form factor with sculpted surfaces, crafted engineering components and awe-inspiring details. The thought that went into making the motorbike is evident in the overall visual appeal as well as the unexpected details. The bi-functional LED projector headlamp, split LED tail lamps, body-integrated front turn signals, a translucent shroud, an exposed spinner attached to the motor, are mesmerizing details that embody a progressive design language for Matter’s motorbike. The vehicle also packs convenient utility elements such as a 5-liter storage space with built-in lights and a smart mobile charging port.
Matter has designed and developed the motorbike to perform effortlessly in a wide range of climatic conditions that India has to offer, with an operating ambient temperature of -10 degrees to 55 degrees (C). The bike does not compromise on safety in any manner and the front and rear disc brakes with ABS coupled with large tyres aids in hard and safe braking, delivering great traction and road grip.
