Expert Verdict
The Raptee T30 is the first motorcycle from a Chennai start-up founded in 2019, and it was the first Indian electric two-wheeler to reach production with a high-voltage architecture. The T30's strongest card is charging, as its 240 V powertrain allows it to plug into the CCS2 fast chargers built for electric cars. Two versions are on sale, and both differ only in styling. The motorcycle looks handsome in person, and we were also impressed with its performance in sprint mode. Where it falls short is the usable range in its faster modes, braking feel, early fit-and-finish consistency and a sales and service footprint that currently covers just two cities.
