Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Today's mobile phones have a lot of tracking enabled, by Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.
I hope the 4G SIM is a choice and not a compulsion for running the vehicle. Because, at least few customers will not want a trackable vehicle, for whatever reason.

Because they're 'trying' to make it cheap, I'm assuming they will go for a smartTV like Ad tracking or something, to earn revenue after sales...


That said, the overall industry is going in the right direction.
Now, if only the Indian Lithium ion plant gets functional, I believe our typical Ather S340 might be priced closer to a Honda Activa with the former's benefits intact, then it should be an awesome scene for electric vehicles industry.

I can feel it happening, at least for the common commuter.

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

That tracking part was the first thought that came to our mind as well when we read about the said '4G SIM'. The reason is not really the point here. Vehicles can be traced by the Law Enforcement units when needed, but this can make it possible for anybody to do so considering they are willing to put in a little work. This is probably gonna be the proverbial double-edged sword because its hard to disagree on the fact that there are merits too along with the demerits.

What does this AI do?

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Not much has been revealed till now, but on the basis of guesswork & past products, we can say that there could be riding modes, which adjust motor torque on the basis of our riding/ throttle habits... These might work like how Ather S340 does it, trading range for performance or vice versa (by reducing torque gradually, as you speed up).

Further, there could be human assisting features like call/ message info on console (Bluetooth connected), Vehicle Firmware updates over the air, auto suggestion of service schedule/ requirement/ tyre change/ malfunction, etc.

If the console actually has a version of Android running like a smartTV, then we may have parking lot features like video/ music playback, netflix/ youtube, apps/ games, etc. But for regulatory and safety reasons, it will be limited to Parking lot, i.e. these won't work when you're riding it.
There might also be some sort of location sharing with friends or family or so, including theft protection.
Also, turn by turn navigation features may be there.

NOTE: All of the above is just guesswork/ assumptions based on other products, not info.

Location tracking is possible, agreed, but there is also this "habits tracking". Google for example, might be able to know our throttling/ braking/ leaning habits... It will open an all new dimension of customer profiling in advertising.

The weak riders among us, might get ads related to riding schools. The awesome riders might get racing schools/ trackdays ads.

Yes, double edged sword it surely is, but most of us have somehow made peace with it, our mobiles, Windows 10 and all.
Benefits are there, no doubt. Nokia's older OS'es (Symbian, MeeGO) proved that smart is possible without tracking, but not anymore.

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Okay but... why??
Is there a large market for people complaining that their lives not being tracked and monitored and surveilled enough already and are demanding more?
Or is this so people can surf the internet and check their Facebook feed while riding in traffic?

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

This company had a very bad reputation with their previous products. I hope they dont mess it up again with bikes

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

What previous products?

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

I think ishaiki is referring to Micromax Mobile phones, although the person is just a co-founder and since this is a different company, there will be different personnel.
Also, this person himself might've learned a lot of quality lessons. But yes, top leadership matters a lot.

I guess, the only reason the company is doing it is to earn ads revenue, so that they can price their products cheaper.

Suppose the product costs Rs. 1.1 lakhs, and Rs. 85k after tracking and ads, then half the India will say, why not?

SmartTV's for example, are dirt cheap, just a 6% margin industry now.. All due to incoming revenues from ads after the sale is made..

Sketch of the motorcycle shared by Revolt Motors.

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

So, the designers are high-school kids? Will the production model also have a non-round rear wheel?

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Looks like Dominar to me

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Alright guys, Revolt is launching tomorrow (June 14)...

I've seen its TV Ad also, which shows a big throttling in front of a girl, and then changing the throttle sound from a "V2" like to a "inline 4" like...
It at least looked awesome on TV!

Revolt, Namaste!








An inline 4/ V2/ V4 like sounding machine, a good looking commuter, that goes upto 80 kmph and 165 kms in one battery charge...
Are you going to be giving it a solid welcome?
What do you think guys?

Re: Revolt Motors to launch electric motorcycle with an AI system, in June!

Looks like a rebadged Super Soco TS!

Re: Revolt Motors to launch sound changing electric motorcycle with AI system, on June 14!!

Revolt Motors have just announced India's first commercially available electric bike, the RV 400 at an event in New Delhi. While there's still a month or so to go before the RV 400 hits the Indian roads, the bike brings along some never-before-seen features in the category.



Revolt Motors didn't reveal the price of its electric bike yet as it officially launches next month. However, if you're sold on the product already, Revolt Motors will start pre-bookings from June 25 on their website and Amazon India. Interested buyers can pay a pre-booking price of Rs 1,000 to pre-book the bike. The company has stated that the deliveries will start on July onwards, post the official launch.

Another catch is that only the people residing in New Delhi can pre-order the RV 400 as the company plans to get into other cities like NCR, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Chennai within the next four months.

We expect Revolt Motors to price the bike at around 1 Lakh INR when it officially launches in India.







Here's every feature of the Revolt RV 400 electric bike that we know about.

1. ARAI certified range of 156 km/charge and 85kmph top speed

2. Charge the detachable battery anywhere (even inside homes) or swap it for a new one on Mobile Swap Stations, 4 hours charge on a 15 Amps socket.
Revolt Motors also offers home delivery of the bike's batteries from the Revolt app.

3. Revolt Motor's electric bike supports 4G eSIM and Bluetooth using which it syncs up to the Revolt app on the rider's phone. The app allows users to remotely start the bike, find the nearest battery swapping station, real-time analysis of the bike, order replacement batteries, detailed statistics of trips, and geo-fencing, to name a few.
The app also allows users to preset the bike from the three available modes-- Eco, City, and Sport.

4. Customizable exhaust sound, the RV 400 is silent by default, but due to the sheer popularity and the cult surrounding custom exhaust sounds of bikes in India, the electric bike comes pre-loaded with four different exhaust sounds. More sounds can be downloaded from the internet and can be set as the exhaust audio, as and how the rider deems fit.

5. Voice control, more details about key features and performance at the time of launch in July.

Yup, the company has a partnership with them.
