Matter AERA On-Road Price in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (2026)
The on-road price of Matter AERA in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) is ₹2,11,795. This breaks down into an ex-showroom price of ₹1,82,784, road tax of ₹16,451 at 9%, insurance charges of ₹9,060, and dealer/handling fees of ₹3,500.
The Matter AERA is an electric motorcycle, which works in your favour when it comes to road tax. Uttar Pradesh applies a 9% road tax rate on electric two-wheelers - considerably lower than the 12-15% typically levied on petrol motorcycles in the same price bracket. That saving meaningfully closes the on-road price gap between the AERA and a similarly priced ICE commuter.
Insurance for the Matter AERA is split into two components. Third-party insurance - required by law - is fixed by IRDAI and amounts to ₹3,851 for the policy year. Own-damage insurance is optional but strongly recommended given the ₹1,82,784 replacement value of the bike; it adds ₹5,209 to the first-year cost. Together, insurance totals ₹9,060 for the first year.
Dealer charges of ₹3,500 are standard across Matter's service network, covering pre-delivery inspection, documentation, and handling. This figure is generally fixed, though some dealers in competitive markets like Bangalore and Pune have waived a portion for outright cash purchases - worth asking.
Your complete outgo to bring the AERA home in Lucknow is ₹2,11,795, comprising ₹1,82,784 (ex-showroom) + ₹16,451 (road tax at 9%) + ₹9,060 (insurance) + ₹3,500 (dealer charges). If any state-level EV purchase subsidy is active in Uttar Pradesh, this figure reduces further - confirm eligibility and current scheme status with your nearest Matter dealer before finalising the purchase.

At an on-road price of ₹2,11,795 in Lucknow, the Matter AERA is the most affordable geared electric motorcycle in India. A few practical tips before you sign:
First, ask your dealer explicitly about EV purchase subsidies in Uttar Pradesh - these schemes update frequently and dealers don't always surface them proactively. Second, compare own-damage insurance quotes independently via Acko, Digit, or New India Assurance before accepting the dealer's bundled policy; direct OD premiums are often Rs 1,500-3,000 lower per year. Third, if you're financing the purchase, check SBI's Green Car Loan and Bank of Baroda's EV scheme - preferential rates of 7-8.5% p.a. are available for electric two-wheelers versus 10-12% for standard ICE bike loans. These optimisations can meaningfully reduce your total cost of ownership from Lucknow over a three-year finance term.
