Matter Aera Electric Motorcycle Gets Lifetime Battery Warranty
Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer has introduced a lifetime battery warranty for its electric motorcycle, Aera. The company claims this is the first time a manufacturer is offering this kind of warranty in India's electric two-wheeler segment. With this, the company aims to mitigate one of the biggest concerns of electric vehicle owners, i.e., battery life and replacement costs. The Aera provides a lifetime warranty for its battery, which is the most costly part of an electric vehicle. Generally, warranties for EV batteries range from three to eight years. Offering a lifetime warranty significantly alters this norm and may influence how consumers assess the long-term ownership costs. Also Read: Matter claims that its capability to provide this warranty is due to its choice to design and produce critical components internally, such as the battery pack and Battery Management System (BMS). These systems have reportedly been tested extensively in various terrains and climates throughout India. According to the company, this in-house manufacturing enables greater durability and consistent performance, justifying the lifetime warranty. The Matter Aera is equipped with a liquid-cooled battery. This setup not only regulates the battery's temperature but also helps create conditions conducive to prolonging battery life, which is crucial in high-temperature environments. Addressing the update, Mohal Lalbhai, Founder & CEO, Matter, said, 'When you ride with MATTER, we ride with you—for life. Our riders shouldn't have to worry about what powers their bike. This Lifetime Battery Warranty is our way of saying: we've got your back.' Matter Aera is sold at a starting price of Rs 1.93 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes with a 5 kWh battery pack. It gives a certified range of up to 172 km, while the real-world number is 125 km. Powering the bike is an 11.5 kW electric motor, which gives it a top speed of up to 105 kmph. The bike can go from 0-40 kmph in 2.8 seconds.

Matter Aera gets lifetime battery warranty. Check details
The Matter Aera comes with a 5 kWh, IP67-rated battery that offers a certified range of up to 172 kilometres (claimed) on a single charge. (Tej Patel for HT Auto) Check Offers The Indian electric two wheeler startup, Matter has introduced a lifetime battery warranty for its electric motorcycle, the Matter Aera. The company claims that this marks the first time such a warranty has been offered in India's electric two-wheeler segment. The action is aimed to mitigate the second biggest concern to electric vehicle owners—battery life and battery replacement costs. The battery, which is the most expensive component within an electric vehicle, will be covered for the life of the Aera. Typically, EV batteries come with warranties ranging from three to eight years. A lifetime warranty changes this standard significantly and may impact how riders evaluate the long-term cost of ownership. Matter Aera: Battery tech Matter states that its ability to offer this warranty stems from its decision to design and manufacture key components in-house, including the battery pack and Battery Management System (BMS). The systems have reportedly undergone extensive testing across various terrains and climates within India. The company claims that this in-house control allows for higher durability and performance consistency, which supports the lifetime coverage offering. Also Read : Matter Aera electric motorcycle launches on Flipkart with attractive discounts The Aera features a liquid-cooled battery—a less common feature in India's two-wheeler EV market. Liquid cooling systems assist in regulating temperature, which can help create some conditions to extend battery life, especially in high ambient temperature environments and intense usage. The system is designed to help sustain performance and reduce battery heat stress. Matter Aera: Specs Matter Aera introduces a manual gearbox to the electric motorcycle segment, featuring a 4-speed transmission paired with three riding modes, namely Eco, City and Sport. This setup enables varied ride combinations, aiming to appeal to riders who want a more dynamic experience than conventional EVs typically offer.
