What Makes the Matter Aera Special?
While most electric bikes rely on automatic power delivery, the Aera comes equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox—a first for Indian EVs. This gives riders more control over acceleration and speed, much like a traditional petrol-powered bike.
Matter Aera Motor, Battery & Range
The Matter Aera is powered by a 10.5kW liquid-cooled electric motor paired with a 5kWh battery pack. It delivers a range of up to 125 km on a full charge, which is ideal for urban and daily use.
Charging the battery from 0 to 80% takes just under 2 hours with fast charging, and it supports standard 5A home charging too.
Features That Feel Premium
Matter hasn’t cut corners on features. The Aera comes loaded with:
- A 7-inch touchscreen display
- 4G connectivity for OTA updates
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Bluetooth controls and ride analytics via the Matter app
- Keyless start and connected tech suite
