  5. Revolt Motors maintains that the RV400 electric motorcycle will be affordable to a wide variety of customers, and it's expected to be priced to disrupt the two-wheeler market, not just in the electric space, but also conventional internal combustion engine motorcycle with similar performance and styling. We expect pricing to be aggressive, maybe even below Rs. 1 lakh once it's launched in July 2019.
