This cheap Indian motorcycle is another of the problems that European manufacturers could have

It is not easy to stay afloat in the electric motorcycle sector, and we are seeing it with the bankruptcy of some manufacturers that had a lot of potential, but have not managed to escape bankruptcy, the latest being Energica.

And as we have already seen from how established they are in the area of ​​electric cars, Chinese brands could be the ones that set the standard and prices in the electric motorcycle industry as well.

A design of good perceived quality

But they are not alone, and proposals are coming from India, such as the Raptee.HV T30who have in mind to reach other markets around the world, and that includes Europe.

Its best weapon is very low production costs, which makes it possible to have very low sales prices to the end customer compared to those of the competition, and that is what European manufacturers are really having a hard time achieving.

The rates for the purchase of an electric motorcycle are still high, compared to combustion ones, but it is a matter of time before they become equal, as is already beginning to be seen in electric cars, although not without state aid.

As for the Raptee.HV T30, we are talking about a zero-emission mount with a performance equivalent to that of a 300 cubic centimeter gasoline motorcycle, and it offers a power of some 30 HP and a maximum engine torque of 70 Nm.

Autonomy and price of the Raptee.HV T30

The maximum speed is limited to 135 kilometers/hour, but acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers has the advantage of electric motors, so it can be achieved in just 3.5 seconds.

With the battery pack 5.4 kWh of capacity, the Indian manufacturer promises a autonomy of about 150 kilometersalthough not in our WLTP homologation, in which it would be somewhat less.

Anyway, a fairly long time of use, if we take into account the price of this electric motorcycle, well is sold in their country of origin for about 2,600 euros to the currency exchange.

The damage that could be done to the rest of the brands if it reaches Europe with a tariff not far from that would be enormous, and other Indian brands such as Wave Electric They are also preparing their offensive in the electric motorcycle sector.
