If you're considering an electric motorcycle, the Matter Aera deserves a place on your shortlist. It offers the best of both worlds, the geared setup gives you greater control, while the electric powertrain delivers good performance. The Aera comes packed with features that make daily riding more convenient. Ride quality is decent, though its cornering abilities are somewhat compromised by the heavy handlebar. The claimed range stands at 172 km, with a real-world figure of around 120 km. However, the limited availability of its sales and service network is a bit of a bummer.

Pros & Cons of Matter Aera

• What we admire in this bike

  • India’s first geared electric motorcycle gives control to the rider
  • Loaded with features like a 7-inch touchscreen cluster, connected features, keyless passive lock, park assist, and more
  • The touchscreen cluster is easy to navigate and intuitive, even for first-time users.
  • Claimed range of 172 km with its 5 kWh battery
  • Good power and torque delivery in every mode
  • Comfortable ergonomics, with a 790mm seat height, suitable for tall and short riders.
  • Decent fit and finish of the panels

• What could have been better

  • Low availability and brand recall
  • The price is on the higher side
  • Gearing in an EV functions differently than in an ICE vehicle; it takes time to get accustomed to the system
  • The handlebar feels heavy during cornering or sharp turns
  • The factory setting of the rear suspension is on the stiffer side

Design 7

• The Matter Aera features a design similar to a naked motorcycle, with a sharp headlamp assembly that includes a projector LED headlamp and sleek side shrouds with integrated turn signals. The overall front fascia looks sporty and aggressive, giving it a distinctive appearance. The fuel tank area, which also serves as a storage compartment, is neatly integrated to accommodate the onboard charger cable. Behind this compartment, the onboard charging port is located and covered by a magnetic cover.
• The side profile includes parts made of plastic, with multiple graphics and decals. The panels fit well, although some gaps are visible in certain areas. The motorcycle has a split seat setup and a split pillion grab rail, enhancing its sporty appeal. The rear features an LED taillamp that looks appealing, and when you press the brake, a center light with Matter branding illuminates. The rear turn signals are mounted on the rear mudguard and number plate recess, with these being sequential turn signals.
• The Aera 5000 is available in two colors: Cosmic Black and Cosmic Blue. Meanwhile, the Aera 5000+ comes in five color options: Cosmic Black, Cosmic Blue, Glacier White, Blaze Red, and Nord Grey.

  The Matter Aera features a street-fighter style with youthful design cues. Overall, the bike looks quite sporty and is oriented toward younger buyers. It gets a sharp-looking LED headlight, sculpted side panels and tank, and a split seat setup. The trellis frame remains slightly exposed, with the motor and battery nestled in between. Even the alloy wheel design on the Matter EV is quite distinct.
