The higher demand for the RV400 can also be linked to the recent price correction announced by Revolt in view of the amended FAME II subsidy offered by the Indian government to push the sales of electric two-wheelers. The EV maker said with the latest price reduction, its RV400 electric bike has become more affordable and is currently priced at less than ₹1 lakh in the national capital.
The company noted that it has managed to expand its distributor and service network across 35 cities in India. And it is experiencing a huge demand for its e-bikes across several Indian cities. "There has always been a huge demand for RV400, and today’s response from buyers from the six operational cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad, who had been waiting eagerly to book their Revolt motorcycle was no different," the company said.
