Revolt Motors has announced that the recently launched commuter electric motorcycle, the RV1 has bagged 16,000 bookings. The milestone has been achieved in just a week of its launch and reveals the demand that the brand is receiving for the new electric motorcycle in the Indian market. Revolt also claims that the new RV1 is a “game changer” in the Indian two-wheeler segment and the first commuter electric motorcycle has been massively accepted here.

On the 17th of September, Revolt launched the RV1 and RV1+ in the Indian market with an introductory price of INR 84,990 ex-showroom. Even its higher spec version the RV1+ comes with a price tag of INR 99,990 ex-showroom. Thanks to the competitive price point the brand will be able to  rival some internal combustion engine vehicles, in its segment as well. And 16,000 bookings within one week of launch is in itself a testament that the RV1 has promoted EV adoption.
