The launched ate will be revealed by the Group Founder of Matter, Mohal Lalbhai, Group Founder. He said, “We believe we’ve built something incredibly unique for riders to enjoy, and we're delighted to finally see it in action as a completely indigenous bike. Motorcycles, as a category in the electric two-wheeler world, are completely untapped and yet to flourish. We are proud of our work and now can't wait to show it to the consumers."

Arun Pratap Singh, Group Co-Founder and COO, Matter, said, “EV is still at a nascent stage, and it is imperative that we invest in an omnichannel experience that builds brand affinity and trust amongst prospective consumers and the larger EV enthusiast community over the long term. We plan to work with our network partners to help consumers understand more about the emerging category through the retail experience. Our aim would be to optimise all touchpoints for the best customer experience and not just on driving sales conversions."
