Chennai: Raptee.HV, the Chennai-based EV startup, on Monday launched India’s first high-voltage electric motorcycle, which is developed with the technology being used in Electric cars across the world.
Deliveries will start in Chennai and Bengaluru from January 2025.
This enables the Motorcycle to deliver a performance rivalling the 250-300 cc ICE counterparts with significantly less heat.
With this High-Voltage (HV) technology, Raptee.HV motorcycles will be the first in India to adopt universal charging standards used by electric cars.
The motorcycle comes with an onboard charger, making it compatible with the 13,500 CCS2 car charging stations available across the country, which is expected to double within the next year, a company release said.
The motorcycle is priced competitively at Rs 2.39 lakhs on par with 250–300cc ICE motorcycles, making the total cost of ownership an absolute gain from the very first moment of owning it, in addition to the eco-friendly aspects.
Starting deliveries in Chennai and Bangalore from January, Raptee.HV plans to expand to other key cities based on the propensity for mid-premium motorcycles and the adoption of electric mobility in these selected markets.
The company is coming up with a Factory-integrated Experience centre, the “Tech store.HV” at the HQ in Chennai which will offer full immersive experiences including a factory tour to show how motorcycles are being built.
