Ultraviolette Shockwave
Matter Aera
7.13/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
What the Matter Aera does best is feel like a proper motorcycle, with a familiar riding position, real gears and a long feature list. But the “feel” also adds more complexity, which appears counterproductive on an EV. And at the price which the Aera comes at, it starts competing with petrol motorcycles like the R15 and NS400, which would appeal more to buyers looking for the maximum involvement. But, if you are looking to keep running costs down, the Matter seems to be the sensible option.
Based on SEV score and how each EV scores on price, range, battery, charging time, speed, power and boot space.
