Rap AG has just launched its much-anticipated electric motorcycle, the T30, and it’s making waves as India’s first electric motorcycle based on high-voltage architecture. What does this mean for electric bike enthusiasts? Let’s break it down and explore the T30’s standout features, specs, and whether it’s worth its price tag of ₹2,40,000.
Design & Variants:
The T30 comes in two variants, and while they may look similar, there are some notable design differences:
- Rear Tail: One variant includes a grab rail while the other does not.
- Tail & Number Plaid: The tail and number plaid positioning vary, with one bike featuring a tail, and the other utilizing a number plaid on the tire hugger.
- Graphics: Subtle graphic differences are noticeable across the bikes.
Color Options:
You can choose from four colors—white, black, gray, and red—offering some variety in style.
| Feature | Variant 1 | Variant 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Grab Rail | Yes | No |
| Tail | Yes | No |
| Number Plaid | Tire Hugger | Rear Tail |
Braking System:
The bike’s braking system is impressive with a:
- 300 PS AM disc brake in the front
- 200 PS AM disc brake in the rear
- Dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety
The overall look of the bike gives off a slightly heavy, robust feel, making it ideal for those who prefer bigger, solid motorcycles.
Technology & Connectivity:
One standout feature is the 7-inch touchscreen that ensures excellent visibility. The connectivity options include:
- Blue map navigation
- OT updates
This adds convenience and a modern touch to the riding experience. The charging slot is placed on the tank, allowing users to charge using a CC2 charging gun—just like an electric car!
Specs Overview:
If you’re wondering about the performance, the T30 doesn’t disappoint. Here’s a quick breakdown of the specs:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery Pack | 5.4 kWh |
| Range | 150 km (real-world) |
| Motor | 22 KW |
| Torque | 70 Nm |
| Horsepower | 30 HP |
| Acceleration (0-60 km/h) | 3.5 seconds |
| Speed Modes | Comfort, Power, Sprint |
| Top Speed | 135 km/h |
Charging Times:
- Public Charger (20-80%): 40 minutes
- Home Charger (20-80%): 1 hour
While the DC fast charging seems a bit slower, the home charging speed is impressively fast, making this bike ideal for city commuters.
High Voltage Architecture – What’s the Big Deal?
This bike operates on a high-voltage system, meaning it runs similarly to an electric car. Here are the benefits:
- Lower heat generation: Less wear and tear, leading to longer battery life.
- No cooling system required: The bike’s design naturally reduces heat, eliminating the need for extra cooling mechanisms.
- 8-year or 80,000 km warranty: Like LA Electric, Rap AG offers home servicing, adding convenience to ownership.
Price & Competitors:
Priced at ₹2,40,000, the T30 competes with bikes like the Ra Mentus and Ultra F77. While the T30 has many standout features, the battery size is slightly smaller than that of its competitors.
Final Thoughts:
The Rap AG T30 offers great specs and convenience, but the design might not appeal to everyone. While the high-voltage architecture and onboard charger are game-changers, some might prefer a larger battery pack.
