Revolt RV 400 Electric Bike To Get Voice Command-enabled Helmet

[UPDATE: Revolt has launched the RV400 in India and here are the details. We've also ridden the motorcycle and you can check out our first ride review here.]

• The Bluetooth-enabled helmet will be offered as an option and is likely to cost Rs 4,500.
• Expect the company to begin sales of the helmet from next month. 
• Bookings for the RV 400 will commence from June 25. 
• The RV 400 is expected to cost around Rs 1 lakh (on-road).

Revolt’s first all-electric motorcycle, the RV 400, is a hot topic right now. And for all the good reasons, mind you. Scheduled to be launched on July 22, the RV 400 gets several industry-first features such as geo-fencing with theft protection, real-time statistics and diagnostics, and much more. However, Revolt very cheekily plugged in a video at the end of the presentation showing off the RV 400’s new feature, a voice command-enabled helmet.

As of now, buyers can start their RV 400 by two methods: first, they can click on the power button or turn on the bike via the app. However, you can also start the bike via voice command. All you have to do is say ‘Revolt Start’. The bike manufacturer will probably join hands with helmet manufacturers to launch Bluetooth-enabled helmets for the RV 400. We expect the helmet to cost around Rs 4,500 and it will be available as an optional extra.

If this feature wasn’t enough, the RV 400 comes with four artificial exhaust notes. However, buyers can also add custom exhaust notes via Revolt’s official smartphone app, which will be launched soon.

Bookings of the electric bike will commence from 25 June 2019 for a token amount of Rs 1,000. Buyers can either book one on Revolt’s website or on Amazon. It will initially be available in Delhi, followed by NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Chennai.
