Raptee Electric Bike With 150km Range Test Mule Spied- Launch Inching Closer?

Key Highlights

  • 2023 Raptee to come with semi-faired styling
  • It is claimed to have a top speed of up to 135 kmph
  • Raptee will also get a long-distance riding range of up to 150 km per charge

The EV manufacturer Raptee, based in Chennai, is working on an e-bike. This upcoming bike’s design was on display during the 2020 Indian Auto Expo. However, it appears that the pandemic adds to the launch time delay. On a city run, a test model of the 2023 Raptee electric bike was spotted. Under the camouflage, the test bike appears to be prepared for production. Read on for more information.

Raptee Design

The upcoming Raptee e-bike will have a hybrid design. How? Well, it combines the looks of a naked bike design and a fairing. An independent headlight and a tubular handlebar are featured on the front end. But a fairing is added to the battery and electric motor underneath the frame. The Ultraviolette F77 bike’s upcoming design is similar to this one.

The test bike that was spotted also has a little more determined riding posture. The rider triangle has a slightly upright, athletic appearance. The raised handlebars make the bike nimble in city traffic.

Raptee Features

Other design elements to notice are the split seats, glossy alloy wheels, and a chain drive system. This chain drive system differs from the concept model. The concept bike had a belt drive system, but Raptee’s engineers apparently dropped it for the performance.

It will also receive a big touchscreen TFT infotainment display. According to the industry standards, Bluetooth connectivity must be included as well. The test bike also has LED lighting.

Raptee Battery And Motor

Raptee is going to use a big electric motor on it. The battery and motor’s precise specifications are still a mystery. The company’s website now shows the performance metrics. It has a top speed of 135 kmph and a claimed riding range of 150 km on a single charge. It also reportedly has a 0-60 kmph time of 3.5 seconds. Using its CCS2 charging connector, its battery can be charged from 0 percent to 80 percent in 45 minutes.

Range150 km/charge
Top Speed135 kmph

India’s Cheapest Electric Car Priced at Rs 4.70 lac – Meet the PMV EaS-E

Key Highlights

  • Three versions with range varying from 120 to 200km
  • 6000+ bookings already in place, you can book one too for Rs 2000 only
  • Seats two adults and one kid, 4G enabled

This could be the answer to ever-increasing traffic congestion in metro cities. Meet the PMV EaS-E, the most affordable e-car you can buy in India. We told you about PMV EaS-E a few days back and it is now up for grabs with deliveries starting by May-June 2023. There are three versions on offer and the entry-level with a range of 120km is priced at Rs 4.79 lac. Pricing for the other two models has not been disclosed yet. The company claims they have already received over 6000 orders, both from India and abroad.

The PMV EaS-E electric car is the first-of-its-kind vehicle in India and promises to offer a low-cost, viable solution for urban mobility. For those who commute 50-100km on a daily basis and need to beat the traffic, this is the car to go for. It has a top whack of 70 km/h which is more than ample for urban runs. It can also accelerate from 0 to 50 in just 5 seconds. Although specs are not out officially, we understand the electric motor generates about 13 bhp and 50 Nm of torque. The car can, as expected, be charged from a normal 15A power socket too. A full charge will take about 4 hours as per the press release – but this might be from a more powerful charger in our opinion.

This car looks micro but is intelligent and technologically loaded. For instance, it offers remote parking assist, cruise control, regenerative braking, and OTA or over-the-air updates. You can also start the air-con remotely thanks to the mobile application. It is also 4G enabled and gets different riding modes that can be accessed through a dashboard on the driver’s seat. 

As far as dimensions are concerned, this micro e-car is 2,915 mm long, 1,157 mm wide, and 1,600 mm tall. Just for reference, India’s smallest petrol the Alto 800 is 3445mm long and 1515mm wide. The EaS-E is pretty tall for roominess, just 17mm lower than the Venue compact SUV.

We look forward to driving this soon. Stay tuned!

Verdict: This could be a great fit for those looking at an everyday urban car with low running costs.
