Matter Launches World’s First Geared Electric Motorbike 'Aera' At Rs. 1.88 Lakh

Matter, India’s trailblazing tech innovation company, has officially launched its flagship electric motorbike—the Aera—in the heart of India’s innovation capital, Bengaluru. This follows the successful inauguration of Matter’s world-class Manufacturing Hub and marks the beginning of its committed market expansion and mobility transformation across India.

The Matter Aera is now available at a pre-registration showroom price starting from ₹1.88 lakh. As a limited-time launch offer, the first 500 riders in Bengaluru can own the Aera at a special price starting at ₹1.79 lakh, bundled with a free lifetime battery warranty worth ₹15,000—Matter’s bold nod to its early believers.

To bring the brand closer to the people, Matter is set to soon unveil its first Experience Hub in BTM Layout. This vibrant space will let riders explore the Aera in person, take test rides, and experience Matter’s philosophy firsthand.

“There’s no better city to lead this journey than Bengaluru—where innovation isn’t just an idea, it’s a way of life. Every lane, every rider here resonates with purpose and progress. The Aera isn’t just a bike—it’s the 22nd Century motorbike. It delivers the thrill of a rocket and the practicality your pocket loves. With our in-house developed Hypershift manual gearbox, liquid-cooled powertrain, and connected tech, Aera brings together performance, emotion, and sustainability like never before” said Mohal Lalbhai, Founder and Group CEO of Matter.

Bookings are now live at Matter website and will also be available at the Experience Hub. Deliveries begin shortly.

The Matter Aera breaks every stereotype surrounding electric mobility. Purpose-built for the Indian rider and fine-tuned for a city like Bengaluru—it offers performance, intelligence, and emotion like never before.
