Matter Aera includes certain segment-leading features and a minimalistic style. Both versions come with a 5 kWh battery pack. It's also the first electric motorcycle in India with a 4-speed gearbox. With the battery and 10 kW motor, it has a 125 km claimed range. According to Matter, using a standard charger arrangement, the battery of the Aera 5000 can be fully charged in five hours. The charging process takes two hours with a fast charger. It is a practical electric motorcycle with characteristics including an alloy wheel arrangement, clip-on handlebar, LED headlamp, split seat, and other design elements. It looks futuristic thanks to the LED turn indicators on the fuel tank shroud with auto cancelling feature.
It has a 7-inch TFT touchscreen for the instrument panel, which displays a wealth of information including navigation, SMS/call alerts, and other functions. Also, it receives OTA updates, proximity key functionality, keyless start and go, and other features. Single disc brakes on the front and rear wheels, along with ABS and CBS, are used for braking.

Verdict: The recently released Matter Aera 5000 will face competition from India's already popular electric motorcycles. It competes against products like Oben Rorr, Hop OXO, Tork Kratos, Revolt RV400, and others. The Matter Aera will have an advantage over the competition due to its segment-leading features.
