Overall, it has a hefty, covered appearance that almost resembles a streetfighter motorcycle. Brakes and radial tubeless tires complement the sharp front mudguards. The side panel extends all the way to the bottom.
As it is ideal for a sporting experience, the seat height is only comfortable for one person.
One of the factors contributing to this electric bike’s aggressive appeal is its frame, which was created with keeping agility in mind. It is clear that the Raptee.HV T30’s body panel has many design elements inspired by electric cars rather than conventional motorcycles.
A 7-inch 60 FPS touchscreen digital display is also included on the dashboard, with nearly all of the necessary features installed, placed precisely in the center of the handlebars. Their own Raptee OS powers the screen.
This electric motorcycle has a very aggressive overall aesthetic, and it is branded with text and logos on specific body parts, like the T30 on the back and sports text on the body panels, symbolizing high performance.
