Matter Aera 5000+ review - Is this how all electric bikes should be? | @autocarindia1

Regarding the vehicle shut down we experienced, this is what Matter informed us - “The trigger you observed during your ride is attributed to the earthing detection around the horn area on the low voltage side, that activated a programmed fault protection in the vehicle. For this fault code the auto recovery was not enabled and same was to be restored with external restoration software tool in the pre-production batch. This was a minor fault; hence we continued the vehicle riding after testing. We have taken a detail approach for rectifying it in the production process so that the same would not occur in the real-world application.”

One of the reasons to shift ev is smooth driving without gears and clutch. They add it and increase cost 😂

It's like adding a wire to the mobile phone so that it FEELS like the telephone.

gearbox in EV makes sense to increase the range, by having taller ratio for the top speed and highway journey, it doesn't make sense for a city commuter where acceleration is key and not the top speed. They should remove the gearbox and reduce the weight, and go for a single speed gear ratio.

The gear and clutch is actually a showpiece item in this Byk

It's useless to give clutch if it isn't working in combination with gears

2:08 you said "fuel tank", haha😄. They proved the point on making it familiar. Great presentation though, as always

I really loved the motor + gearbox combo. 1) Gears definitely reduce the mechanical load on the motor (thus more efficiency). 2) Press/pull Clutch-select gear- release-throttle...one of the purest man & machine relation 😌❤❤ 3) Gears+motor undoubtedly make an ev much much lively thing. This is what gearbox lover's will enjoy rather than those EV's with 'single speed tranny/ Hub motor'.

The few people who say they’ll move to ev only if it has gears and clutch has never test driven an ev. And once you test drive any ev for example Tork kratos or Ather, you will see clutch n gears are not needed at all.

Curious about the Gear ratio for each gear position. Wheather 1st Gear is "Open gear" or Multiplies the Torque. A torque multiplier transmission is required on hilly regions in EV's too because although EV's has insane amount of torque at start, it wades off as the rpm goes up.

Why not give an exhaust as well and then put in speaker in there to produce some fancy exhaust MP3 files programmed in like what Revolt does... In short - just doesn't matter...

One suggestion to indian motorcycle manufacturers. Please give handle bars for naked bikes, and the flexibility to change those handle handle bars to different heights by giving enough slag on the wiring.

The bike looks beautiful, motor & battery are placed in such a way that no one will know its a ev. Full marks on design, but why so low range?

i guess this is a good baseline for a gen 1 product . If they are able to get some more custom tooling and build a new platform like aether then we could see a great product. I hope they make it till their gen3 product.

Great video as always ! Which scooters/bikes would you recommend for riders of 5'6" height ?

When Test ride will starts for pre booker ?

Rishad - doesn't it feel like they have given ride modes on the gear lever?

Apart from scooters, EV motorcycles need 2 gears only for Highway purposes.. EVs are quick till 40kmph, but we in future purposes need Highway Cruising and it's efficiency..

It should be very simple for those mechanically inclined to see how any electric vehicle's torque can be used to keep the vehicle going without revving the motor like mad. So, if the motor can spin slower, while keeping the vehicle at high speed, the gears to play a role there, but the benefit should be either a higher top speed or far more range. Which of these is this bike trying to deliver? I'm very surprised that the science is on the right track, but the numbers are not yet there.

I love the fact that it has a gearbox. Without that i would have felt as if i am just riding a scooty 😂 Also... Gearbox increases efficiency and top speed. The only reason the top speed is just 105kmph is because they used a low speed motor. That pretty much decreases the overall cost and acts as a breakeven. Gearbox means you get faster acceleration with the same motor, and if the gear ratio is speed multiplier then a higher top speed as well.
