Raptee.HV builds India’s first high voltage electric motorcycles with car level tech

Chennai based Raptee.HV is reimagining electric two wheelers by bringing proven electric car technology to motorcycles. Unlike most EV startups that retrofit existing platforms, Raptee has developed a high voltage architecture from scratch, enabling performance, reliability, and charging convenience that rivals four wheelers.

Its motorcycles are the only two wheelers in India equipped with the CCS2 car charging standard, giving riders direct access to the country’s growing EV fast charging network. The company has filed more than 150 patents and designs all core electronics in house, from battery management systems to printed circuit boards, building a strong technology base.

The high voltage platform delivers car grade acceleration, safety, and thermal stability, addressing a gap in the performance motorcycle segment. It also reduces charging time significantly compared to conventional low voltage bikes.

Raptee.HV operates a 4.5 acre facility in Chennai with capacity for 100,000 units annually, with plans for expansion. For India’s two wheeler market, where motorcycles account for two thirds of sales, the company argues that real electrification requires this kind of leapfrog technology and not incremental upgrades.
