Indian EV startup Matter Motor Works has revealed an ambitious roadmap that will see its products cover five different electric two‑wheeler segments over the next 3–4 years — all built around a new AI‑Defined Vehicle (AIDV) platform.
1. 🤖 A New AI‑Driven Platform — More Than Hardware
At its Technology Day 3.0 event, Matter introduced the AIDV platform, which embeds artificial intelligence at the core of vehicle architecture rather than treating software as an add‑on. This means future bikes and scooters will adapt in real time to riding conditions, optimizing performance, efficiency, thermal management and reliability throughout the vehicle’s life.
2. 🛵 Five Segments, One Tech Backbone
Matter plans to launch models across five major two‑wheeler categories, ensuring a presence in almost every part of the EV market:
🔹 Naked Street Motorcycles
Sporty and performance‑oriented bikes designed for urban and highway use.
🔹 Street fighter Bikes
Aggressive, performance‑centric machines for enthusiasts.
🔹 Adventure (ADV) Motorcycles
Rugged EVs meant for touring and off‑road capabilities.
🔹 Youth‑Focused Commuter Bikes
Affordable, efficient bikes aimed at younger riders and everyday use.
🔹 Electric Scooters
Accessible urban mobility options, arriving after the motorcycle lineup.
All these will be powered by the same underlying AI hardware, software, compute and data architecture — enabling Matter to scale rapidly while keeping development costs in check.
3. 🧠 What Makes This Platform Different
Traditional EVs are software‑defined, meaning software can update features but core behavior is still fixed. The AI‑Defined Vehicle (AIDV) platform is set to go further:
✔ Real‑time performance adjustments by AI
✔ Adaptive power delivery and efficiency control
✔ Predictive fault detection and life‑cycle intelligence
✔ Deep personalization and remote updates over time
Matter claims this approach redefines how electric two‑wheelers are built and used, not just how they look.
4. 🚀 Timeline: What’s Coming Next
- 2026–2027: New models based on the AI platform begin launching, starting with mid‑segment bikes.
- 2027–2028 and beyond: Expanded range across street fighters, adventure bikes and youth‑commuter bikes.
- Later rollout: Electric scooters based on the same tech foundation.
This phased launch plan spans the next 36–48 months and aims to broaden Matter’s reach in the rapidly growing EV two‑wheeler market.
5. 🌱 Why This Matters for India’s EV Market
Matter’s strategy could significantly impact the EV landscape by:
✔ Providing diversified EV options beyond scooters
✔ Accelerating software‑led vehicle innovation
✔ Supporting locally developed electric vehicle technology
✔ Enhancing performance, efficiency and long‑term ownership value
This move also positions Matter not just as a vehicle maker but as a deep‑tech mobility company competing with both legacy manufacturers and new EV entrants.
🛠️ Bottom Line
Matter’s five‑segment electric two‑wheeler plan — backed by an AI‑first platform — marks a major evolution in how EV bikes and scooters may be designed, built and experienced in India. From city commuters to adventure enthusiasts, the next generation of Matter vehicles aims to cater to a wide range of riders using a shared intelligent technology core
