Indian electric mobility startup Raptee.HV is set to start production of its high-voltage electric motorcycle, the T30, from November 2025. The T30 marks a major technological leap for India’s two-wheeler industry, introducing high-voltage architecture typically seen in electric cars to the motorcycle segment.
A New Era for Electric Motorcycles
Raptee.HV’s T30 is built on a 240-volt high-voltage powertrain, a significant upgrade from the low-voltage systems used in most e-scooters. This setup enables stronger performance, faster charging, and higher efficiency — allowing the T30 to perform on par with a 300 cc petrol motorcycle.
The bike supports CCS2 DC fast charging, meaning it can use the same charging network as many electric cars in India. This gives riders access to thousands of public fast-charging points nationwide, reducing the dependency on brand-specific charging stations.
Bookings and Certification
The T30 has already received ARAI certification and more than 8,000 pre-bookings ahead of its production launch. The company claims that this certification validates the safety and performance of its high-voltage technology, developed entirely in-house over six years of research and testing.
Production and Expansion Plans
Initial production will begin at Raptee.HV’s Chennai facility, with a starting output of around 300 units per month. The company aims to gradually expand capacity to nearly 9,000 units per month in the coming years. An additional 40-acre site has also been secured to support future manufacturing growth and component development.
The company is the first two-wheeler manufacturer in India to receive funding and technical support from the Technology Development Board (TDB) under the Department of Science and Technology.
Performance and Pricing
The Raptee T30 is expected to deliver top speeds exceeding 135 km/h and offer a practical range suited for both city commutes and highway rides. The battery comes with an eight-year warranty, reflecting the company’s confidence in its long-term reliability.
The expected ex-showroom price is around ₹2.39 lakh, placing it in the premium segment of India’s electric motorcycle market.
Why It Matters
The arrival of the T30 marks a turning point for India’s electric two-wheeler industry. Until now, the market has been dominated by low-speed electric scooters designed mainly for urban use. By bringing high-voltage architecture and car-grade charging technology into the motorcycle segment, Raptee.HV aims to attract performance-oriented riders who previously hesitated to shift to electric mobility.
This move also supports India’s broader goal of transitioning a significant share of its two-wheeler fleet to electric vehicles by 2030.
With production about to begin, the Raptee T30 could set new benchmarks for the country’s growing electric motorcycle market. Its success may inspire more manufacturers to adopt high-voltage technology, making India’s EV ecosystem stronger and more diverse.
