It boasts performance comparable to 250-300 cc internal combustion engine vehicles while producing noticeably less heat. The electric bike features a sporty look, which is further highlighted by a unique design. It comes equipped with a split seat design along with a raised handlebar. The T30 electric bike comes with a minimalistic design inspired by luxury automobiles. It has been manufactured aerodynamically to enhance its range and performance further.
The T30 electric bike is powered by a 240V 5.4kWh battery pack that comes with an 8-year warranty. The battery pack provides a certified range of 200 km on one charge, whereas the bike’s real-world range is limited to 150 km. The e-bike can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Raptee.HV has manufactured all the electronics in-house, including a custom-built operating system inspired by automotive-grade Linux. Dinesh Arjun, co-founder and CEO of Raptee.HV, said, “Our goal was never to create an electric version of an ICE motorcycle but to do justice to motorcycling with truly pioneering tech. We believe our HV technology is the missing piece of the puzzle that will accelerate the electrification of motorcycles and revolutionize how motorcycles will be built in the future.”
