So there was a reveal event by Revolt Motors which showcased the new series of electric motorcycles.
They introduced 3 flavours of the motorcycle RV300, RV400 and RV400 Premium.
The most revolutionary part of the announcement was that there was no MRP (Max Retail Price) announced!

Final Words
The pricing scheme seems absolutely revolutionary, we have not seen such innovative pricing from any two wheeler manufacturer.
Revolt will need to raise capital to fulfil production. Once the orders start to mount up, can they afford to keep up with the production?
How will they pay their vendors, if they don't raise capital? These are questions that remain.
For now, this seems very revolutionary and we love the options, customisations provided by the Revolt Team.
