New Tork Electric MotorcycleBoth Tork Kratos and Revol RV400 come with three ride modes namely Eco, City and SportTork Motors recently launched Kratos which is touted to be the first electric motorcycle to be completely indigenously developed in India. Kratos is based on the pre-production prototype called T6X which made its debut back in 2016. While the electric bike segment in the two-wheelers space in India is still very thin, it holds great promise in the future.Currently, Kratos has only one significant rival in the form of Revolt RV400 which made its debut in India back in September 2019. Unlike Kratos which has been completely built from scratch indigenously, RV400 has roots with the Chinese EV brand Super Soco.While Revolt also offers a less powerful version of its battery-powered motorcycle called RV300, Pune-based Tork Motors has a more powerful version of Kratos called Kratos R. However, Kratos and RV400 are matched more closely in terms of pricing and specs. Hence, we have kept rest of the variants out of this comparison study. Let us find out which motorcycle edges past the other, on paper at least.Revolt Vs Tork Electric Motorcycle – Powertrain SpecsStarting with their powertrain setups, Kratos is easily more powerful than RV400. The former receives a larger 4kW motor in comparison to the 3kW motor offered by Revolt. Kratos also receives a higher peak power output of 7.5kW (10 bhp) as compared to 5kW (6.7 bhp) in RV400. However, RV400 offers more torque on wheels as opposed to Kratos.Revolt RV400 vs Tork Kratos Electric MotorcycleTork also offers a slightly larger 4kWh battery pack in comparison to the 3.24kWh battery offered by Revolt. This results in a larger 180km range on a single charge in Kratos as opposed to a 150km range offered by RV400, according to the Indian Driving Cycle (IDC). However, the real-world driving range of Kratos is claimed to be 120km on a single charge.In terms of performance, Tork Kratos trumps RV400 as the former has a top speed of 100kmph, which is 15kmph faster than the latter. Battery pack in both motorcycles takes between four to five hours to get fully charged. The major difference, though, RV400 gets a removable battery pack (which weighs around 19kg) while the Kratos has a fixed battery pack.DynamicsWhen it comes to dynamics, both bikes boast similar underpinnings comprising disc brakes at both ends, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a rear mono-shock. However, RV400 offers more premium upside-down forks instead of conventional telescopic forks offered in Kratos. At 108 kilos, RV400 is also a lot lighter than its nemesis which weighs 140kg. RV400 also offers a whopping 215mm ground clearance in comparison to 165mm offered in Kratos.Revolt RV400 vs Tork Kratos Electric MotorcyclePriceWhen it comes to pricing, after taking into consideration Fame II and various state subsidies, RV400 is priced at Rs 90,799 while Kratos is pegged at Rs 1,07,999 (both prices, ex-showroom, Pune). However, these prices will differ from state to state. Revolt also offers RV400 through a unique subscription model which costs Rs 4,000 per month. More

Revolt Motors has increased prices of its flagship offering RV400. The electric motorcycle garnered a fair bit of attention at the time of its debut since it was the country’s first AI-enabled two-wheeler. The bike also flaunted a unique design which attracted many buyers.
Revolt Electric Price Nov 2021 – RV400 Prices Increased
The company has now increased prices of RV400 by a significant margin of Rs 18,000. Previously, the electric motorcycle was priced at Rs 1.07 lakh and after the latest revision, it will be available at a price of Rs 1.25 lakh.
For Mumbai, the price now stands at Rs 1.26 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). The latest price hike has already come into effect. In fact, this price increment will also be applicable to customers who have booked an RV400 before it was announced.
This will probably come as a jolt to all who were awaiting delivery of this electric motorcycle. Revolt Motors is communicating to such customers that the hike is because of a sudden and significant increase in the raw material cost.
Revolt Electric Motorcycle Nov 2021 Updates
Battery Warranty Decreased
The EV manufacturer has conveyed that it will be unable to deliver bikes at the price prevailing at the time of booking. Not just prices but Revolt has also reduced warranty on offer in the battery pack of RV400. When launched in 2019 first, Revolt offered a class-leading battery warranty of eight years or 1,50,000 kilometres (whichever comes first).
This was also one of the numerous reasons why consumers shifted from IC engine-powered two-wheelers to a battery-powered motorcycles. The battery in RV400 now gets a six years or 1,00,000 kilometres warranty (whichever comes first). This means a reduction of two years and 50,000 kilometres.
Despite a reduction in battery warranty coverage, Revolt still offers the most comprehensive warranty package than any other two-wheeler brand in the EV space in India. Other two-wheeler EV manufacturers like Ather Energy and Ola Electric only offer a three-year warranty on their respective batteries. However, the company has not yet commented on the reason behind the reduction in battery warranty.
Revolt expansion in India
Earlier in October this year, Revolt announced that it will expand its footprint in the country by establishing itself in 70 cities in the coming months, covering 26 states and union territories in India. Currently, Revolt retails RV400 in just six places in India including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Chennai.
Powering RV400 is a 72V 3.24kWh lithium-ion battery that sends power to a 3 kW electric motor which dishes out a peak output of 5 kW power and 54 Nm of torque. It has a top speed of 85 kmph and offers a claimed range of 156 kms on a single charge.

File photo.Revolt will launch a new entry-level electric motorcycle in India named RV1 which will replace the current RV300
Electric mobility has received a renewed impetus in the Indian automobile industry this year. Many new manufacturers are geared up to introduce battery-powered vehicles which will pave the way for future mobility solutions in the country.
Revolt was one of the first brands to introduce electric two-wheelers in India in the form of RV300 and RV400. A recent report published in PTI has revealed that the company will introduce a new entry-level electric motorcycle next year. Dubbed as RV1, this electric bike will replace the current RV300 in the company’s lineup.
More details
This development was confirmed by a Business Chairman, Rattan India Enterprises, Anjali Rattan. The company is a major stakeholder in the EV startup. Formerly known as RattanIndia Infra, the company in April this year announced it was exiting from the traditional infrastructure business to focus on new growth businesses. A few weeks later, it acquired a 43 percent stake worth Rs 150 crore in Revolt Motor.
Rattan added that the new RV1 will be manufactured in India with all components sourced locally, and that production will commence by January next year. This new model will be more affordable than the outgoing RV300 with similar specs which are comparable to conventional 110cc IC engine motorcycles. Much like Revolt’s current offerings, RV1 will be manufactured at the Manesar-based plant.
Revolt Electric Motorcycle Delivery
Locally Manufactured components
By December this year, the company’s product lineup will be 100% make-in-India. As of now, Revolt has been importing parts from China but will now focus on every single supply from within India. Rattan further added that the company has witnessed an increase in demand which had forced it to stop accepting bookings of its bikes many times in the last two months.
Price of the new Revolt Electric Motorcycle is expected to be in the Rs 80k range. This will make it the cheapest Revolt on sale. In this price range, it will be priced similarly to the cheapest Pulsar motorcycle. Pulsar 125cc today is priced from Rs 79k. The attractive price tag will help the brand bring new customers.
RV300 Specs & Features
In terms of specifications, RV300 is powered by a 2.7kWh lithium-ion battery pack which feeds energy to a 1.5kW hub motor. This powertrain returns an average range between 80-150km on a single charge. The battery takes 4.5 hours to charge fully whereas it takes 3.5 houses to charge from 0 to 75 percent charge.
RV300 also features a smaller rear disc whereas the front disc and the suspension remain the same as the more premium RV400. It gets a box-type swingarm and misses out on keyless ignition and a slightly slimmer rear tyre as well. Currently, RV300 has been priced at Rs 95,000 (ex-showroom) while the new RV1 is likely to be priced below Rs 80,000 (ex-showroom). The current lot of RV300 will be acquired by pizza giant Domino’s for its delivery fleet. More
