Remember the age of clunky gear shifts, oil changes, and roaring exhaust pipes? The world of two-wheelers is experiencing a revolutionary shift, and leading the charge is the Revolt RV400. This isn't just another electric motorcycle; it’s a smart, performance-focused machine that has redefined the electric commuter segment. By blending AI-enabled tech with thrilling acceleration, the RV400 truly embodies the “silent roar” of the modern street. In this detailed Revolt RV400 performance review, we’ll explore the engineering behind its power, its unique and silent electric bike becoming a favorite among urban riders.
The moment you twist the throttle on the Revolt RV400, the difference from a traditional petrol bike is immediate and thrilling. It's all about delivering electric power instantly.
The RV400 comes with a powerful PMSM mid-drive motor. Unlike a petrol engine that needs to climb RPMs to find its power band, this electric motor provides phenomenal torque right from zero RPM. With 45 Nm of torque delivered to the motor, the result is crisp, zero-lag acceleration that makes zipping through city traffic effortless and fun. This instant response is a game-changer for daily commuting.
The RV400 uses a 4.1 kW peak power motor that gives strong performance. This power goes to the wheel through a belt-drive system, which needs very little maintenance and keeps the ride quiet and smooth. The mid-drive motor is placed in the center of the bike, helping it stay well-balanced and easy to handle.

The RV400 gives riders the flexibility they need. Revolt RV400 comes with three riding modes, so you can quickly choose between better range or stronger performance with just a switch.
If you want the best mileage, Eco Mode is the way to go. It limits the top speed to around 45 km/h and reduces acceleration so the battery lasts longer. This mode is ideal for heavy traffic or when you want to cover the maximum distance, offering a claimed range of 150 km on one charge.
If you want maximum excitement, Sport Mode lets the RV400 perform at its best. It allows the bike to reach its top speed of 85 km/h and gives the quickest throttle response. The range drops to about 80 km, but this mode is perfect for quick overtakes on the highway or fun weekend rides. In Sport Mode, the Revolt RV400 still gives enough range for a fast city round trip while delivering top performance.
Between Eco and Sport, giving a claimed range of about 100 km and a top speed of around 65 km/h. It offers a good balance of performance and efficiency, making it the best choice for daily rides in mixed traffic conditions.
A great ride is about more than just straight-line speed; it’s about control. The Revolt RV400 is engineered to handle the unpredictable nature of urban roads with confidence.
The RV400 comes with Upside Down (USD) front forks and an adjustable rear monoshock—features usually seen on bigger sportbikes. They provide great stability, especially while taking turns. With a high ground clearance of 200 mm, the bike handles potholes and bumps smoothly, keeping the ride comfortable and steady.
At just 115 kg (kerb weight), the Revolt RV400 is very light and easy to handle. Its lightweight frame, along with the centrally placed mid-drive motor, makes it simple to move through traffic and park even in small spaces.
Safety is paramount. The RV400 features a Combined Braking System (CBS) paired with front and rear disc brakes, ensuring balanced and effective stopping power in emergency situations. Furthermore, the bike utilizes regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy back into electrical energy whenever you slow down, adding a small but continuous top-up to your battery while you ride.

Via the MyRevolt App, riders can select from four unique sound profiles—Revolt, Rebel, Roar, and Rage—or opt for complete silence.
