Newly established company Revolt has finally launched their new electric motorcycles in the Indian market. The two new electric bikes from the company RV300 and RV400 were earlier showcased for the public and now they are available for purchase.

The entry level model RV300 has an EMI of Rs 3,000, the RV400 will be offered for Rs 3,499 per month while the RV400 Premium will cost Rs 3,999 per month. The customers will have to pay the EMIs for a total of 37 months. Also, there is no downpayment for the bikes.

Talking of RV400, the company states that as per ARAI the range of the RV400 is around 156 kilometres. This range makes it ideal for city commutes and occasional highway runs.

The RV400 can hit a top speed of 85 kmph which is again more than enough for city rides.
