Matter Aera Launched in Delhi at Rs. 1.93 Lakh with Manual Gearbox

Matter, an electric mobility startup based in Ahmedabad, has officially launched the Aera electric motorcycle in New Delhi. Priced at Rs. 1.93 lakh (ex-showroom), the Aera is India’s first geared electric bike, featuring a unique 4-speed manual transmission. With smart features, a liquid-cooled powertrain, and a certified range of 172 km, the Aera aims to offer a new riding experience. The launch marks Matter’s entry into the capital ahead of the festive season, with bookings now open online.

First-of-its-Kind Gearbox

The biggest highlight of the Matter Aera is its 4-speed HyperShift manual gearbox, a first in the Indian EV two-wheeler market. It offers three riding modes, allowing for 12 different combinations to suit various road and speed conditions. The goal is to offer a riding feel that’s closer to petrol bikes, making the switch to electric easier for traditional riders.

Battery, Performance, and Cooling

The Aera is powered by a 5kWh battery pack with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. It offers a certified range of up to 172 km (IDC). The bike can go from 0 to 40 km/h in under 2.8 seconds. The liquid-cooled powertrain ensures smooth performance in all weather conditions, including hot city summers.

Smart Features and Safety

On the tech side, the bike has a 7-inch touchscreen display that shows navigation, trip details, music controls, and supports OTA (over-the-air) updates. Safety features include dual disc brakes with ABS and smart park assist.

The MatterVerse app lets riders track rides, monitor bike health, lock/unlock remotely, and set geo-fencing alerts. The Aera also features a smart key for keyless start and stop.

Low Cost of Ownership

Matter claims the Aera has a running cost of just 25 paise per km, with potential savings of Rs. 1 lakh over three years of daily commuting in city traffic.

Why Delhi First?

Arun Pratap Singh, Founder and COO, Matter, described “Delhi presents a significant opportunity for electric mobility adoption. The Aera is designed to align with the evolving needs of urban riders, with features that combine performance, technology, and efficiency.”
