ARAI subjected the Revolt EV to the regular battery of tests in order to certify the motorcycle road use in India. In fact, the motorcycle was also able to climb up a 10.2 degree gradient without hassles. The lithium-ion battery of the motorcycle was also tested for cycle life, weather and water-proofing tests along with a high decibel internal test as well. Also, the ARAI certified range of the upcoming Revolt electric bike is 156 kilometres.
