Raptee.HV T 30: Delivery Timeline
Starting deliveries in Chennai and Bangalore from January, Raptee.HV plans to expand to other key cities based on the trend of mid-premium motorcycles and adoption of electric mobility in these select markets. Raptee.HV is coming up with a factory-integrated experience centre, “Tech Store.HV” at the headquarters in Chennai, which will offer a complete immersive experience including factory tours showing how motorcycles are made. Raptee.HV will have a wide range of direct to consumer offerings in addition to the traditional brick and mortar model to provide a seamless experience to customers. Dinesh Arjun, Co-Founder and CEO, Raptee.HV said, “Our goal was never to create an electric version of an ICE motorcycle, but to truly do justice to motorcycling with pioneering technology. We have taken the core of advanced electric car technology and engineered it for motorcycles. Launching India’s first high-voltage electric motorcycle was a technical challenge from the very beginning. Over the last 5 years, the amazing team at Raptee has had to build the entire architecture from scratch to make HV possible on a 2 wheeler. The fact that we have succeeded is a testament to what can be achieved with the right vision and focus on innovation. We believe our HV technology is that missing piece of the puzzle that will accelerate the electrification of motorcycles and revolutionize the way motorcycles are manufactured in the future.”
Raptee.HV has completed its Pre-Series A round of funding led by Bluehill Capital and Artha99 Ventures, and is in the final stages of raising its Series A round of funds from new and existing investors to ramp up its production, expand dealerships and launch e-bikes in other states, thereby fueling its growth in the electric mobility market.
