Rethinking the electric ride
PCQuest
|August 2025
What if your next ride charged like a car, lasted over a decade, and warned you before anything broke down? This isn't sci-fi, it's a radical rethink of the electric two-wheeler, built for Indian roads, power-packed days, and zero guesswork
India’s electric two-wheeler wave has mostly looked like scooters - small, zippy, and built for the city. But the question no one seemed to be asking was: Where are the electric motorcycles? Not token conversions, but real bikes, performance-focused, highway-ready, and future-proof.
That question is exactly where Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-founder, Raptee.HV, began his journey.
The first problem was scale: motorcycles in India outsell scooters two to one, yet every single electric two-wheeler today is a scooter. For Raptee, this wasn't just a market gap. It was a clear sign of a technical one.
The vision was clear, build a motorcycle that isn't just electric, but better than its petrol equivalent in every way. Performance, durability, ease of use, tick all three. But to get there, the team didn't retrofit existing formats. They started from scratch. With the same high-voltage thinking that transformed electric cars from toys into Teslas.
Why high voltage matters
Every electric scooter in India still runs on a low-voltage architecture, between 48V to 72V DC. That means the entire component ecosystem - motors, controllers, battery packs, is limited by this power ceiling.
Raptee chose to jump straight to 240V DC. This high-voltage architecture, commonly used in modern EV cars, enables vastly better performance, charging flexibility, and reliability. The company is currently the only one in India to build a road-legal high-voltage electric motorcycle certified by the ARAI.
This change wasn't just philosophical, it was technical. The team designs and builds every component in-house: motor controllers, battery packs, even 22 custom PCBs per bike. It's not imported innovation. It's engineered in-house to suit the Indian use case.
Charging without compromises
