TATA Motors has stepped boldly into the electric two-wheeler space with the launch of the HV T30 electric motorcycle. This sleek and performance-driven bike is designed for both the eco-conscious and the thrill-seeking rider. Priced at an attractive ₹2.39 lakh (ex-showroom), it directly competes with mid-range petrol motorcycles while introducing cutting-edge electric tech and futuristic features.
Performance and Battery Specifications
Under the hood, the TATA HV T30 features a high-capacity 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that powers a robust electric motor. The setup delivers a punchy 30 PS (around 29.5 hp) of power and a healthy 70 Nm of torque. This ensures rapid acceleration, with the bike going from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.5 seconds.
The bike has a top speed of 135 kmph, placing it well within the performance range of traditional 250-300cc petrol bikes. While the manufacturer claims a range of 200 km on a full charge, real-world conditions suggest a reliable 140–160 km, which is still excellent for daily commuting and weekend rides.
Fast and Efficient Charging
The HV T30 takes convenience to the next level with CCS2 fast-charging support—a feature more common in electric cars than bikes. Using a compatible fast charger, the battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in just 40 minutes. Even with the standard charger included in the package, this level can be reached in around an hour.
What sets it apart is the battery’s durability—TATA offers an impressive 8-year or 80,000 km warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for buyers.
Design and Styling: Futuristic Yet Functional
Design-wise, the TATA HV T30 sports a modern streetfighter aesthetic. Its aggressive front-end features a sharp, diamond-cut LED headlamp and sleek DRLs. The overall stance is muscular, yet aerodynamic—built to enhance performance and visual appeal. The split seat adds both style and comfort, making long rides enjoyable.
It is available in four striking color options:
- Horizon Red
- Arctic White
- Mercury Grey
- Eclipse Black
One of its standout features is the large 7-inch full-color TFT touchscreen display. It provides access to a range of smart features including Bluetooth pairing, GPS navigation, real-time diagnostics, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates. Riders can even sync the bike with a smartwatch or smartphone app to receive alerts, control locking/unlocking, and monitor vehicle status remotely.
Ride Modes and Customization
The HV T30 is tailored for every kind of rider. It includes three intelligent ride modes:
- Comfort Mode – For relaxed city rides with optimal battery usage.
- Power Mode – Balances performance and efficiency for versatile riding.
- Sprint Mode – Offers maximum acceleration and torque for adrenaline-filled rides.
This allows riders to seamlessly shift from daily commutes to spirited weekend rides depending on mood and road conditions.

Suspension and Braking: Built for Indian Roads
In terms of ride quality, the TATA HV T30 is designed with comfort and control in mind. It features a premium suspension setup consisting of an inverted front fork and a monoshock rear. This ensures a smooth ride even over potholes and uneven terrain, which are all too common in Indian cities.
For braking, the bike comes equipped with a 320mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc, paired with dual-channel ABS for maximum safety. Whether you’re navigating crowded urban streets or cruising on open highways, the bike offers strong and reliable braking performance.
Variants and Pricing
The TATA HV T30 is available in two trims—Standard T30 and T30 Sport. Interestingly, both are priced at ₹2.39 lakh (ex-showroom), with the main difference lying in design accents and color schemes. This eliminates confusion for buyers and keeps the selection process simple.
Pre-bookings are open at a nominal amount of just ₹1,000 on the official TATA EV website. Deliveries are expected to begin in January 2025, starting with metro cities like Bangalore and Chennai.
In terms of competition, the HV T30 takes on bikes like the Tork Kratos and Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2, but stands out thanks to its fast charging capabilities, real-world range, and TATA’s brand reliability.
