Spy shots have exposed the design of the first model
from Revolt Intellicorp, which is an electric motorcycle. The production-spec electric
motorcycle was seen in Gurgaon, Haryana. Regular readers would know that Revolt
Intellicorp has a one lakh square feet facility in Manesar, Haryana with a
production capacity of 1.2 lakh units per annum.
The test mule was seen with a dual tone finish. The
red base paint was complemented by white highlights throughout various panels
on the motorcycle. The underbelly fibre panel has a black finish with red
highlights for a contrasting look. The red colour of the body can also be seen
on the front fender and around the headlight.
Unlike the earlier prototype, the recent unit was
seen with a silver finish for the sub-frame. The pillion grab rail and the
swingarm get the same colour as the sub-frame. A split-style pillion grab rail
would’ve given a sportier look to the rear. The new spy images also give us the
first glimpse of the disc brakes, and the rear unit appears to be larger than
the front. Looking at the photos, it seems that the motorcycle will come equipped
with a single-channel ABS.
As confirmed by Revolt Intellicorp, the first
product from the company, an Artificial Intelligence-enabled electric
motorcycle, will be launched in Delhi-NCR, where it will start operations in
the first phase, by June 2019. The launch will most likely be preceded by the
installation of charging infrastructure at convenient locations across the
city. The charging points are expected to feature fast chargers. A similar
strategy is used by Ather Energy in Bangalore. Revolt Intellicorp has confirmed
that its first electric motorcycle will deliver an ARAI-certified range of 156
km.
The top speed has been rated at 85 km/h. A report from earlier this month
claimed that the Revolt Intellicorp targets 75% localisation at launch. The
localisation levels are expected to reach 100% by end-FY2020. The first product
will reportedly arrive at approximately INR 1,20,000. The FAME II subsidy of
INR 25,000 will bring the effective price down to INR 95,000.
