Electric motors do not produce any noise, which sometimes requires manufacturers to include speakers that generate an engine tone so that the motorcycle does not go unnoticed in traffic (safety risk). The RV 400 allows riders to tune one of four engine sounds: Revolt (a standard engine sound), Rage (a raucous version), Rebel (a two-stroke engine note), and Roar (a superbike to fast diet Ton).

Since the bike does not need to store fuel, the “fuel tank†can be used for storage.

The bike is available in Delhi and Pune, and can be purchased through a contract plan dubbed the MyRevolt plan. With a base price of Rs. 3,499 per month and a premium price of 3,999 per month (both for 37 months), it also covers service, maintenance, insurance and RTO charges for that period. The RV 400 is available in Rebel Red and Cosmic Black colors, while the RV 300 has a white option.

The RV 300 lacks some of the features found in the RV 400 (such as customizable engine tones) and is content with a smaller capacity. Her starting plan is Rs. 2,999 per month.

Besides Revolt Motors, the Pune-based startup Tork is also planning to launch an electric motorcycle in the same category, the T6X. Emflux, based in Bengaluru, is also planning to launch its Emflux-One. Among the big brands, Bajaj and KTM intend to co-develop a “high-end electric motorcycleâ€.
