The recent venture by Micromax chief Rahul Sharma seems to be in full swing to make its first electric two-wheeler readily available in India soon. The progress has reached a point where the motorcycle has attained its approvals from Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and that too in record time.
Revolt Intellicorp had earlier announced its plans to unveil India’s first ever Artificial Intelligence powered electric motorcycle in June this year. Since then, the company has been steadfast in its production, with even spy shots of the motorcycle under testing making their way online.
Recent development reveals that the upcoming bike offering by the company has now become the first ARAI-certified electric motorcycle in India. As per the ARAI certification, the electric motorcycle will come with a range of 156 km. During its Gradient Ability Test, the electric bike went up a 10.2 degrees incline smoothly.

Even more impressive is the fact that the lithium-ion battery used in the motorcycle passed its certification test in a single go. As per the company executives, all this was made possible by the company’s internal stringent tests. For instance, the firm claims that the battery was put through tests performance, nail penetration, shock, cycle life, all-weather and waterproofing tests.
Rahul Sharma, Founder – Revolt Intellicorp Pvt. Ltd., puts stress on the internal tests “We invested a lot of time testing it internally to make sure we have a winner before sending it to the ARAI. The speedy ARAI certification is a huge endorsement to our efforts over the last 2 years.”
Electric vehicles are taking the centre stage in India’s automotive scenario, thanks to their emission free and comparatively more efficient working. Rahul Sharma has made a smart move to enter the still growing EV industry in the country, which will only find a rapidly growing market, at least for the foreseeable future. What’s more, being a budget conscious market, India’s shift to EVs is being propelled by electric two-wheelers more than any other segment. Being a front-runner in such a scenario will certainly help Revolt gain a large chunk of a soon to be huge industry.
