Raptee.HV’s T 30 marks an important step forward in India’s growing electric two-wheeler segment, combining unique features and practical performance. Priced at Rs 2.39 lakh, it aims to carve out a niche between more affordable electric motorcycles like the Matter Aera and the premium Ultraviolette F77. One of its standout features is the CCS2 charging port, a rarity in two-wheelers, which allows the T 30 to leverage the extensive network of car charging stations across India. This not only adds convenience but also positions the bike for long-distance urban commuting and even intercity rides.

With a claimed real-world range of 150km, the T 30 is expected to be a viable option for both daily commuters and enthusiasts. The IP67-rated battery pack promises durability against environmental factors like dust and water, further enhancing its usability in diverse weather conditions.

Raptee's focus on performance is also noteworthy. A 0-60kph time of under 3.5 seconds is impressive for an electric motorcycle, especially when compared to its petrol-powered counterparts. This makes the T 30 one of the quickest in its category, offering an exciting ride without compromising on range. The high-voltage 240V architecture is another first in the Indian market, potentially offering more efficient power delivery and faster charging times, though specifics on charge durations are still awaited.

In terms of market positioning, the T 30 has few direct rivals. While it faces competition from the Ultraviolette F77 and TVS X electric scooter in the electric space, the T 30’s price and performance make it an attractive proposition. Its petrol-powered competition includes well-established models like the Harley-Davidson X440, Royal Enfield Guerilla 450, Triumph Speed 400, and KTM 250 Duke. However, for those looking to transition to electric, the T 30 presents a compelling case with its performance figures, charging flexibility, and modern design.

Additionally, Raptee.HV has yet to announce key specs like battery capacity or motor output, leaving some room for speculation. However, if the brand delivers on its promises, the T 30 could set new standards for electric motorcycles in India. With growing consumer interest in EVs, this bike could attract both environmentally conscious riders and performance enthusiasts alike. The inclusion of an 8-year/80,000km warranty adds further peace of mind for buyers, reinforcing its appeal as a long-term investment.

More details about its availability, charging times, and after-sales service will be crucial to its success, but Raptee.HV seems to have delivered a strong contender in India's evolving electric vehicle market.
