The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • A real 4-speed gearbox with a wet clutch and three ride modes gives 12 combinations, so it rides like a motorcycle instead of a twist-and-go e-scooter.
  • 11.5 kW and 450 Nm at the wheel take it from 0 to 40 km/h in 2.8 s and on to 105 km/h, with a 172 km IDC range from a 5 kWh battery.
  • Liquid cooling for the motor, battery and inverter, plus IP67 protection, keeps performance steady in heat.
  • Matter offers a lifetime battery warranty of 15 years with unlimited km for first owners, a promise few makers match.
  • The 5000+ adds a 7 inch touchscreen full of features, including navigation, call and music control, live tracking and OTA updates, for only about Rs 10,500 more.

Worth knowing

  • At Rs 1.83 lakh to Rs 1.94 lakh it is far costlier than the Oben Rorr EVO, which costs Rs 1.40 lakh and claims a longer 180 km IDC range.
  • The base AERA 5000 skips Bluetooth pairing, call and music control, navigation and live tracking, and comes in only two colours.
  • At 168 kg it is a heavy motorcycle, and the seat is 790 mm tall.
  • Fast charging needs Matter's separate 3 kW standalone charger; the onboard 1 kW charger takes 5 hours to reach 80%.
  • Under seat storage is only 3.5 litres, and the lifetime battery warranty is for first owners only.
