Matter Aera was unveiled last year. The electric motorbike looks very similar to a naked streetfighter. It features a bi-functional LED projector headlamp, split LED tail lamps, body-integrated front turn signals, a translucent shroud, and an exposed spinner attached to the motor. The storage space on the electric motorbike has built-in lights and a mobile charging port.

The battery pack powering the Aera is called matterEnergy 1.0. This 5 kW battery pack was developed in-house by the tech startup. It uses liquid cooling technology to minimise heat losses. It also features a super smart BMS that constantly monitors and optimises the system for efficiency, security, and reliability. There are multiple sensors on the battery pack to keep a check on the temperature, current, and voltage.
