Raptee.HV has started customer deliveries of the T30 electric motorcycle in Bengaluru, making the city its second operational market after Chennai. The company says it plans to deliver more than 100 motorcycles across Bengaluru and Chennai by November as it gradually increases production and fulfils existing bookings.
The T30 is priced at Rs 2.39 lakh ex-showroom and sits in the premium electric motorcycle space. Its most unusual feature is not its acceleration or range, but the charging system. The motorcycle uses a high-voltage electrical architecture and supports the CCS2 connector used by electric cars, allowing owners to use compatible public car fast-charging stations instead of depending only on a brand-specific two-wheeler charging network.
Raptee claims an estimated IDC range of 200 km, a top speed of 135 kmph and a 0-60 kmph time of under 3.5 seconds. At a suitable public charger, it says the battery can go from 20 to 80 percent in about 36 minutes. The same 20-80 percent charge takes around one hour using home charging.
The public-charging compatibility addresses one of the practical problems with electric motorcycles. Fast chargers for cars are already present on many inter-city routes and in larger cities, while dedicated motorcycle fast-charging networks are much less widespread. A T30 owner still has to find an available, working CCS2 charger, but the bike is not limited to Raptee-operated infrastructure.
The T30 uses a 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery and its motor produces about 30 hp and 70 Nm. Those figures put it closer to a conventional performance-oriented motorcycle than to the low-speed electric two-wheelers that still make up a large part of the market. The motorcycle is offered in Arctic White, Eclipse Black and Mercury Grey colour options. Bookings are now open against a Rs 1,000 token amount.
The motorcycle also gets a 7-inch TFT touchscreen with navigation. Raptee provides an eight-year or 80,000 km battery warranty and a three-year or 30,000 km vehicle warranty.
Raptee opened its Bengaluru experience centre in July, its first retail outlet outside Chennai. Deliveries have now followed, and the company has also set up a dedicated service centre in 1st Sector, HSR Layout. The facility has a four-person team and operates from Monday to Saturday.
That service setup matters for an early-stage electric motorcycle brand. The T30 uses a less conventional electrical architecture than most electric two-wheelers, so buyers will want dependable local diagnosis, parts support and repair capability rather than having to send a motorcycle back to the factory city.
Chennai was Raptee’s first market, with T30 deliveries beginning there earlier this year. Bengaluru is the next step in a larger expansion plan. The company has previously said it intends to enter several more cities during FY27 as it builds out retail and service coverage.
The T30’s specification sheet is competitive for a premium electric motorcycle, but Raptee now has to prove that it can move from a technology-led launch to consistent retail deliveries. The target of more than 100 motorcycles across Chennai and Bengaluru by November is modest beside mass-market two-wheeler volumes, but it is relevant for a new manufacturer still building its network.
