The Chennai-based startup Raptee Energy made waves at the Global Investors Meet in Tamil Nadu on January 7 and 8, 2024. Chief Minister M K Stalin presided over the event, which featured the first look at Raptee’s electric motorcycle, which is scheduled to go on sale in April 2024 and promises an exhilarating ride thanks to its high-voltage drivetrain and state-of-the-art technology.
“Our first-ever showcase of our motorcycles couldn’t have been at a better event. The TN GIM attracted Suppliers and investors from around the world and the buzz around our booth was electric! The fact that we were not merely a vehicle integrator but had developed the entire stack in India intrigued everyone. Our indigenous high voltage powertrain not only delivers stunning torque and consistent top speed but also addresses the long-standing demand for reliable e-motorcycles. Having built on a High Voltage power train, Raptee Motorcycles will be the only Two wheelers compatible with the fast-expanding CCS2 public charging infrastructure “
The CEO and co-founder of Raptee Energy, Dinesh Arjun, emphasized the importance of Raptee’s accomplishment by saying.
“We are overwhelmed by the response for our first display of Raptee in the Tamil Nadu Global Investors meet 2024. We have received very good interests from potential investors and suppliers. The customer footfall ranged across all age groups, predominantly college students and bike enthusiasts. We are quite hopeful that this positive response from consumers will translate to good demand when we launch the product a few months from now. Our team is super thrilled at the moment and looking forward to an exciting launch.”
