Fast-Charging High-Speed eBikes

The Raptee.HV T30 is a high-performance electric motorcycle developed by the Chennai-based startup Raptee.HV. This model is notable for its adoption of a high-voltage (HV) architecture, operating at 240V, which is typically seen in electric cars rather than motorcycles. This design enables the T30 to achieve faster charging speeds and improved thermal efficiency. The motorcycle is equipped with a 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of up to 200 kilometers on a single charge under ideal conditions. It supports CCS2 DC fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 36 minutes. Additionally, the T30 features a 22 kW motor, delivering a peak torque of 70 Nm and a top speed of 135 km/h, making it comparable to a 300cc internal combustion engine motorcycle.

The T30 is designed with user convenience and durability in mind. It includes features such as a TFT touchscreen display, multiple riding modes (Comfort, Power, and Sprint), and advanced safety measures like dual-channel ABS. The motorcycle's frame is constructed from carbon steel, ensuring a balance between strength and weight. Raptee.HV has also focused on affordability, pricing the T30 at ₹2.39 lakh (ex-showroom) and offering an 8-year battery warranty. Deliveries are set to begin in Chennai and Bangalore in the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal year, with plans for phased expansion to other markets. This model represents a significant step forward in integrating high-voltage technology into the electric two-wheeler segment.
