Looks futuristic and purposeful, a mix of sporty and commuter design

Broad body panels and sharp lines make it stand out, though the pre-production units lacked a premium finish

Switchgear feels tactile, wiring is neatly managed, and panel gaps are consistent

The LED headlight setup gives it a distinct face, somewhat reminiscent of the Ultraviolette F77, but still original in execution

Makes 22kW and 70Nm, quick off the line with strong mid-range punch

Throttle response feels smooth and immediate, and the three modes (Comfort, Power, Sprint) genuinely change its character

Sprint mode reaches 135kmph, Power mode is the sweet spot for everyday riding, and Comfort keeps it calm for commuting

Real-world range sits around 150km in Comfort, 100km in Power, and roughly 75km in Sprint - adequate but not touring-friendly

The 5.4kWh battery supports both AC and DC fast charging via CCS2, compatible even with car chargers

Ride quality is on the firmer side, stable on highways, but transmits bumps on bad roads

Handling feels predictable and planted, though braking could offer sharper bite and more feedback

The seating position is slightly leaned forward yet comfortable, and the 790mm seat height makes it accessible for most riders

The 7-inch TFT console is bright and responsive with features like TPMS, navigation, and hill-hold assist

Cruise control hardware is present but disabled on the test bike, expected to be functional on production models

Overall, the RapteeHV T30 feels like a solid first step from a new EV maker, but still needs some polish
