Revolt RV1: A Detailed Look
The RV1 is a bit more utilitarian-looking when compared to the RV400, and it doesn't bear the same muscular stance. Instead it has that commuter look and feel to it, with things like the saree guard, the round headlight, the leg guard, and the grab rail only cementing the point further.
The RV1 continues to be powered by a mid-mount electric motor and a chain-drive system. It receives 17-inch tyres and disc brakes on both ends. Revolt also claims that the RV1 has a payload capacity of 250kg.
Available in two variants, the standard RV1 and the RV1 Plus feature removable battery packs. However, both variants feature different battery packs with varying figures of range and performance.
The standard RV1 comes with a 2.2kWh battery pack, with a claimed range of 100km on a single charge. Meanwhile the RV1 Plus comes with a larger 3.24kWh battery pack, with a claimed range of 160km. Both variants receive fast charging, with a claimed time of 1.5 hours for a full 0-100% charge.

There isn't much to talk about when it comes to features, but the RV1 does come with a 6-inch LCD screen, multiple ride modes, and a reverse mode among other things.
Verdict
With a shockingly affordable price tag, the Revolt RV1 might just cause buyers to take notice of electric motorcycles, which are still not as popular as electric scooters in our country. The RV1 may not pack a lot of features, but it may draw away some attention from electric scooters, with its fast charging times and that price tag.
