Priced at ₹1,93,826 (ex-showroom), the Aera is now available for booking via the company’s official website.
This launch comes at a time when Delhi, one of the country’s most polluted and densely populated cities, continues to witness rising interest in electric mobility.

Matter Aera: Manual gearbox in an electric format
A key feature of the Aera is its ‘HyperShift’ transmission, a 4-speed manual gearbox developed in-house. This system is paired with three ride modes, allowing for a total of 12 gear-mode combinations. While most electric two-wheelers offer a twist-and-go experience, Matter is betting on the idea that manual control can add a layer of rider engagement that’s largely missing in the EV space.
