The Revolt RV BlazeX is based on the RV1 platform and shares most aspects other than the battery and the motor. We rode the EV and here’s what we think of it.

The newly launched Revolt RV BlazeX can be purchased at Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom) which is Rs 15,000 more than its very similar sibling, the RV1. It resembles the RV1 in almost every aspect, except the motor, battery and a couple other things. The EV has an all-LED setup giving it a modern touch and staying in tune with other EVs. The headlight has a circular LED ring with an LED line cutting through it horizontally giving it a retro-esque vibe. The rest of the bike looks like and also competes with a standard 100- to 125-cc commuter ICE motorcycle except it’s electric and gets both, the pros and the cons as circumstance. The bike has a long, single-unit, almost flat seat which resembles the RV1 and RV1+. The BlazeX has a grab rail which extends out into a short rack, to keep luggage as we were informed the bike has a payload capacity of 250 kg.
