Ninety One RaptorX
The Ninety One RaptorX is a mountain-style electric cycle for riders who want assisted off-road capability without giving up pedalling, priced from Rs 40,229 with a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 45 km per charge. It pairs a 300-watt hub motor with a 324Wh (9.0Ah) battery, backed by a throttle plus 5-level pedal assist and a colour LCD display. Built on a 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheel steel frame, it suits fitness-conscious commuters and casual trail riders more than gear-shifting mountain bike purists.
Is the Ninety One RaptorX right for you?
Best for
- Riders who want motor assistance on broken roads, parks and light trails, not just tarmac
- Short-to-medium daily rides comfortably within the claimed 45 km ceiling (with real-world buffer built in)
- Buyers who like a bigger-wheel mountain-cycle stance in either 27.5T or 29T and don't mind a single gear
- Anyone happy to finish the last bit of assembly themselves, since it ships roughly 90% built
- Riders who want the option to just twist the throttle on tired days instead of pedalling every kilometre
Think twice if
- Riders who need multiple gears for steep climbs or to vary cadence on longer rides - this is single-speed only
- Anyone who needs the lightest possible cycle to lift onto racks or carry up stairs - the steel frame adds noticeable heft and official weight isn't published
- Buyers who assumed every e-cycle is automatically registration-free - a 300W motor plus throttle puts this above the simple 250W pedal-assist-only exemption, so check locally
- Those who want a fully ready-to-ride box with no setup at delivery
Available colours
3 exterior colours offered. Swatches are approximate on-screen representations, not official paint codes, and availability can vary by variant.
Variants, specs, on-road price and running cost
A pedal-assist e-cycle up to 250W and 25 km/h needs no RTO registration, road tax, licence or insurance in India, so the on-road price is the ex-showroom price. Throttle or higher-power models may need registration - check the variant spec.

Charging and living with it
Charging times vary by variant and charger; see each variant above. Most owners charge at home from a standard socket, and many packs are removable so you can carry the battery indoors to charge. Because the RaptorX runs a 300W motor with a throttle rather than a simple 250W pedal-assist-only setup, it may not automatically qualify for the registration, licence and insurance exemption that basic e-cycles get in India. Confirm the requirement with your local RTO before riding on public roads. Running costs otherwise stay low: a 324Wh battery draws roughly a third of a electricity unit per full charge, so charging costs only a few rupees.
Strengths
- Two wheel sizes (27.5T and 29T) and two battery capacities to choose from
- Larger 13.5Ah / 486Wh option available for extended range
- Throttle plus 5-mode pedal assist and colour LCD
Watch-outs
- Single-speed only, no gears for climbs or higher cadence
- Steel frame adds weight (official weight not published)
- Ships ~90% assembled, needs final setup

FAQ
What's the real range on the RaptorX, not just the claimed figure?
Ninety One claims up to 45 km from the 324Wh (9.0Ah) battery, but that's a manufacturer figure, not an independent or ARAI-tested result. It's likely measured on the lowest pedal-assist mode with steady, light pedalling. Lean on the throttle, use higher assist levels, or ride uphill and expect noticeably less.
Does the RaptorX have a throttle, or is it pedal-assist only?
Both. It comes with a throttle for effortless riding as well as a 5-level pedal-assist system, so you can pedal normally, let the motor top you up, or ride throttle-only when you want a break from pedalling.
Do I need RTO registration, a licence or insurance to ride this in India?
A plain 250-watt pedal-assist-only e-cycle is exempt from registration, road tax, licence and insurance in India. The RaptorX has a 300-watt motor plus a throttle, which puts it above that basic exemption, so it's worth confirming the rule with your local RTO before you ride it on public roads.
How long does it take to charge, and what will it cost me?
Ninety One hasn't published an official charge time for this battery. On running cost, though, a 324Wh pack pulls only around a third of a unit of electricity for a full charge, so you're looking at just a few rupees to top it up at home.
Should I pick the 27.5T or the 29T wheel size?
Both share the same single-speed drivetrain and 9.0Ah battery in this listing. The 27.5T wheel tends to feel quicker to manoeuvre on tighter trails, while the 29T rolls over bumps and broken surfaces more smoothly. Ninety One also offers a larger 13.5Ah/486Wh battery option separately if you want more range than this base version provides.
