Raptee.HV T 30 e-bike launched at Rs 2.39 lakh, gets CCS2 charging port

The Raptee.HV T 30 electric bike has been launched at Rs 2.39 lakh. What makes this particular machine unique is that it uses a CCS2 charging port that is usually seen only on cars.

While the manufacturer hasn’t yet released any information about motor output or battery capacity, it has announced what sort of performance you can expect from the T 30 in the real world. Raptee.HV claims a 200km+ IDC range, which it says should translate to roughly 150km in the real world, thanks to an IP67-rated battery pack that appears to be housed in the belly of the bike.

As far as acceleration is concerned, the T 30 will get to 60kph in under 3.5 seconds which places it in the 250-300cc territory, as per Raptee’s claims. For reference, in our tests, the quarter-litre Suzuki V-Strom SX achieved the same in exactly 3.5 seconds, while something sportier like the KTM 250 Duke managed it in 3.06 seconds. 

The company also claims this is India’s first motorcycle to be built on high-voltage architecture, but does not state exactly what that figure is. However, the bike does have “240V” written on its side, suggesting that it’s built on a 240-volt architecture. While the CCS2 charging port is one of the most prolific in the world, it is usually seen only on cars. By equipping the T 30 with a CCS2 port, Raptee.HV has made its bike compatible with nearly all car charging stations across the country.

With not too many electric motorcycles on the market at the moment, the T 30 does not have any direct rivals. It sits above the Matter Aera (Rs 1.74 lakh) and the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 (Rs 2.99 lakh), placing it in a bit of a no-man’s land. The closest electric two-wheeler is the TVS X electric scooter, which was launched at Rs 2.50 lakh in August last year but is yet to be seen on our roads. As far as petrol competition is concerned, similarly priced bikes to the T 30 include the Harley-Davidson X440, the Royal Enfield Guerilla 450, the Triumph Speed 400 and the KTM 250 Duke.
