Chennai-based electric motorcycle manufacturer Raptee.HV has strengthened its retail presence in India with the opening of a new three-storey flagship Experience Centre on Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) in Chennai. The development marks an important step in the company’s efforts to expand its customer reach and promote its high-voltage electric motorcycle technology in the Indian market.
The new facility was virtually inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on November 4, 2026. Designed to provide customers with an immersive brand experience, the centre will allow visitors to explore Raptee.HV’s electric motorcycles, understand their underlying technology and experience their performance through test rides.
The newly opened facility replaces the company’s earlier factory outlet in Chennai. With this upgraded experience centre, Raptee.HV aims to establish a stronger connection with customers in its home market while offering a dedicated space to showcase its electric motorcycle technology.
Raptee.HV Focuses on Customer Experience and EV Technology
The three-storey experience centre has been developed to give prospective buyers a detailed understanding of the company’s electric motorcycles and their advanced engineering. Customers visiting the facility can examine the motorcycles, learn about the company’s proprietary technology and interact directly with its technical team.
One of the key highlights is the opportunity to understand Raptee.HV’s 240V high-voltage electrical architecture. The company has designed its experience centre to explain how its high-voltage technology works and how it differentiates its electric motorcycles from conventional electric two-wheelers.
Visitors will also be able to schedule test rides to experience the motorcycles’ performance and handling. The initiative is expected to help potential customers make more informed purchasing decisions while increasing awareness of high-voltage electric motorcycle technology.
According to Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-founder of Raptee.HV, Chennai holds special importance for the company as the city is where its journey began. He highlighted that the new flagship outlet will help the company strengthen customer relationships and provide a premium experience while continuing to listen to customer feedback.
Raptee.HV T30 Features 240V High-Voltage Technology
Raptee.HV is developing electric motorcycles through its proprietary HV-TEC technology platform, which brings high-voltage architecture commonly associated with electric cars into the two-wheeler segment.
Its T30 electric motorcycle features a 240V electrical architecture and supports the CCS2 public DC fast-charging standard. This compatibility allows the motorcycle to utilise charging infrastructure designed for electric passenger vehicles, potentially improving access to public fast-charging facilities.
The company’s approach focuses on bringing advanced electric vehicle engineering into the electric motorcycle category. By developing its own high-voltage technology platform, Raptee.HV aims to establish a distinct position in India’s growing electric two-wheeler industry.
₹25 Crore TIDCO Investment Supports Expansion
Raptee.HV’s expansion plans are supported by a ₹25 crore investment from the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO). The state-backed investment is aimed at supporting the company’s development of high-voltage electric vehicle technology and strengthening its business operations.
The investment also reflects Tamil Nadu’s efforts to encourage emerging technology companies and strengthen its position as a major automotive and electric mobility manufacturing hub.
Raptee.HV Plans Expansion Across More Indian Cities
Following its presence in Bengaluru and Chennai, Raptee.HV is preparing to expand its retail network into additional markets. The company has identified Coimbatore, Kochi and Hyderabad as potential locations for its upcoming experience centres.
Beyond India, Raptee.HV is also exploring international business opportunities in markets such as Sri Lanka, Brazil and Turkey.
The opening of the Chennai flagship experience centre represents another milestone in Raptee.HV’s growth strategy. With investments in advanced EV technology, improved customer engagement and planned retail expansion, the company is looking to strengthen its presence in India’s emerging electric motorcycle market.
