Painting Mumbai Green: MATTER AERA 5000+ Brings Geared Electric Riding to the City

 Painting Mumbai Green: MATTER AERA 5000+ Brings Geared Electric Riding to the City

Mumbai is always on the move. Fast, driven, and full of life, the city is built for momentum. Today, that movement takes a powerful new turn with the launch of the AERA 5000+—India’s first geared electric motorbike, now available in Mumbai.

The launch marks a major moment for MATTER, the electric mobility startup behind the AERA. After rolling out successfully in Delhi, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Pune, the AERA has now arrived in India’s financial capital—a city known for setting trends, moving quickly, and embracing change with open arms.

Designed and built in India, the AERA brings HyperShift, a 4-speed manual gearbox developed specially for electric motorbikes. Riders can now enjoy the feeling of changing gears, something they’ve always loved in petrol bikes, with the smooth performance of an electric.

Priced at an introductory ₹1,93,826 (ex-showroom Mumbai), the AERA is available for bookings on www.matter.in. It reaches Mumbai just in time for the festive season—Ganpati, Dussehra, Diwali—when the city’s streets come alive with celebration, energy, and travel.

“Mumbai doesn’t slow down. It’s bold, quick-thinking, and always ahead. That’s why this city is special to us,” said Mohal Lalbhai, Founder & CEO, MATTER. “AERA is built with the idea that riding should be exciting and efficient. With our gearbox, a liquid-cooled engine, and smart features, it gives riders both fun and savings.”

The AERA 5000+ is also India’s first electric bike to come with a Lifetime Battery Warranty—giving Mumbaikars one less thing to worry about, whether they’re riding through weekday traffic or weekend getaways.

MATTER’s approach focuses on developing everything in-house—from the powertrain to the battery. This gives them full control over quality and performance. By keeping things local, MATTER is creating an electric motorbike that’s ready for Indian roads, weather, and riding styles.

To give riders a closer look, MATTER is also opening a new Experience Centre at Saki Naka Junction, Andheri. This space will allow people to test ride the bike, explore features, and get a feel for how the AERA performs—online and in person.

MATTER AERA – Shift. Twist. Thrill.

The AERA introduces a new way of riding—where electric meets gears, and technology meets control. Over 1,000 riders across India have already experienced the AERA through special experience rides. With its Mumbai launch, the electric journey continues in a city that truly understands the value of time, space, and style.
