Matter Energy, a company based in Gujarat, recently pulled the covers off of its first ever electric bike - Aera. The Aera features multiple industry-frist features and high-end components.
So, let’s compare the Aera with its direct competitor in the Indian market - Tork Kratos in terms of their features, technical specifications and on-road prices!
| Specs | Tork Kratos | Matter Aera |
| Engine | Mid-drive motor with 7.5kW peak power and 4kW continuous power | 10.5 kW liquid-cooled mid-mounted motor |
| Torque | 28 Nm | 520 Nm |
| Battery | 4 kWh | 5 kWh liquid-cooled Battery |
| Claimed range | 120 km in Eco mode 100 km in City mode 70 km in Sports mode | 120 km to 150 km |
| Charging time | 4 to 5 hours | Less than 5 hours |
| Gearbox | CVT | 4 speed transmission |
In terms of its motor and battery, the Matter Aera emerges as the clear winner due to its pioneering liquid-cooling technology, which is not present in any other electric bike in India. Additionally, the Aera's power output and claimed range exceed those of the Kratos. Another unique feature of the Aera, which is not found in any other electric motorcycle sold in India, is its four-speed gearbox, which is expected to enhance its riding experience. In contrast, the Kratos has a CVT.
| Brakes and Suspension | Matter Aera | Tork Kratos |
| Front-suspension | Telescopic-fork | Telescopic-fork |
| Rear-suspension | Dual gas-charged shockers | mono-shock |
| Front-brake | Disc Brakes with ABS | Disc Brakes |
| Rear-brake | Disc Brakes with ABS | Disc Brakes |
Although the two electric motorcycles share almost identical underpinnings except for the rear suspension. The Matter Aera has an added safety feature of dual-channel ABS, which the Kratos lacks. With the presence of ABS, the Aera is likely to provide superior braking performance compared to its competitor.
Regarding their features, both electric bikes are similarly equipped with the essential modern equipment.
| Features | Matter Aera | Tork Kratos |
| Digital Console | Yes | Yes |
| Ride Modes | Yes | Yes |
| Reverse Mode | Yes | Yes |
| Keyless entry | Yes | No |
| Matter Aera | Tork Kratos |
| Rs 1,43,999 | Rs. 1,32,499 (Pune) |
For an additional cost of approximately Rs 10,000, the Matter Aera provides a much higher quality liquid-cooled battery and motor. The Aera also has a unique and eye-catching design, as well as a four-speed gearbox that offers a sportier riding experience. In contrast, the Tork Kratos has a sleek and sporty appearance, and is simpler to ride with its CVT.
