Raptee.HV, the Chennai-based electric motorcycle manufacturer known for pioneering high-voltage technology in two-wheelers, has partnered with IDFC FIRST Bank in a push to make electric motorcycle ownership more accessible across India. The collaboration is aimed at addressing financing — widely seen as the biggest remaining barrier to electric motorcycle adoption — by offering customers attractive loan terms, faster approvals, flexible repayment options, and a seamless end-to-end purchase experience.
Mr. Dinesh Arjun, CEO and Co-Founder, Raptee.HV, said, “For most customers, the decision to switch to electric is not just about the motorcycle itself; it’s about how easy and convenient the entire ownership experience is. At Raptee.HV, we have always focused on removing friction at every step of that journey, whether it’s charging, service, insurance, or financing. Through our partnership, customers can now benefit from easier access to financing and a smoother purchase experience, making it simpler to own an electric motorcycle. This partnership is another important step towards accelerating the adoption of electric motorcycles across India.”
The IDFC FIRST Bank tie-up adds to Raptee.HV’s growing network of financial partners, which already includes Indian Overseas Bank and Shriram Finance, with the company actively onboarding additional retail finance partners. On the insurance front, Raptee.HV has tied up with Muthoot Risk Insurance and Broking Services as its preferred insurance service provider across its entire dealership network, working in association with leading general insurance companies.
