The T30, Indian Electric Motorcycle, Would Be a Hit If It Were Exported

Produced and marketed solely in India, the T30 is sold at an outrageous price compared to similar offerings in Europe

The T30 motorcycle is produced by RapteeHV, an Indian company that manufactures electric motorcycles. Let’s start with the features of this beautiful machine. Its sporty design and aerodynamic shape give a sense of power to the bike. Its tubeless tires enhance traction and allow for better maneuverability.

In terms of performance, it is equivalent to a 300cc engine for a conventional motorcycle. Its 22 kW and 70 Nm provide a top speed of 135 km/h. Not very impressive compared to its acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h achieved in 3.5 seconds. Finally, the 5.4 kW/h battery gives the motorcycle a range of about 150 km.

The price of the T30 defies all competition

Nothing exceptional compared to electric motorcycles produced in Europe and the United States. But the difference lies in its price. In India, the T30 is sold for the equivalent of 2600 euros. A similar model sold in France, the Kawasaki Ninja e-1, costs about 8000 euros. This motorcycle struggles to reach 100 km/h and has a range of about 70 km. This highlights the difference in value for money.

RapteeHV, the Indian manufacturer, stated that the T30 is ready to be sold internationally. Moreover, its charging port is compatible with almost all standard EV chargers worldwide. But we are not there yet, as the motorcycle is still only marketed in India. And if it were to be sold internationally, there’s no guarantee that its price wouldn’t skyrocket. In the meantime, we can continue to dream. If this motorcycle were to be marketed in Europe at the price it is sold for in India, it could very well disrupt the electric motorcycle market.
