The Matter electric bike will have a 4-speed gearbox, the first of its kind on an electric motorcycle.
Matter Energy has unveiled its first electric bike, and it has some of the first features for electric motorcycles, such as a 4-speed transmission and even ABS. The bike is powered by a 5.0 kWh, liquid-cooled battery (larger than both Tork Kratos CHEAP and Oben Rorr) and Matter Energy claims this gives it a 125-150 km range. This range figure is certified by ARAI, which means the real-world number will be slightly lower.
