We eat, we sleep, we work, we travel, moving continuously to the rhythm of the clockwork universe that we are a part of. And in the middle of this, each day we face a multitude of questions within us. Certain questions have the power to create formidable ideas, and we at Raptee, are here today because of one such exciting question which forced us to step out of our construct and build something great. We asked ourselves, 'How can we make lives better, by doing what we love and by letting people do what they love?'​. We began exploring what exists out there and within us, and after countless ruminations about consumerism, global warming, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, social psychology, disruptive technologies and Ikigai we realized that we want to swim with the tide, but in a much better way - through sustainable transportation. We know what we love - making motorcycles and we know what people love - to drive around on them and we realized that the natural next step for us is to make them environmentally sustainable. Social attitudes towards green technologies is deeply encouraging, as we are seeing from the success of electric cars. We want our motorcycles to provide riding experiences that are gratifying but at the same time taking the least possible toll on the environment. We believe our electric motorcycles will soon reach a graceful position in the space of viable vehicles, for that is the passion and commitment with which we are driving Raptee and the question behind it.
