The Bangalore-based high-performance electric two-wheeler manufacturer, Ultraviolette Automotive, is now planning to expand its electric vehicle lineup in India. The company, which currently has two vehicles—F77 Mach 2 and F77 SuperStreet—has stated that on March 5th, it will showcase its new electric two-wheelers that will compete in various segments. It will also announce its future product roadmap, which will help the brand increase its sales and market share in the competitive Indian electric two-wheeler market.
Ultraviolette Automotive Expanding Its Lineup
In the coming period, Ultraviolette Automotive has revealed that it will be launching multiple new electric two-wheelers across different segments in India. The offerings will include vehicles like an electric cruiser, maxi-scooter, sports tourer, electric naked street motorcycle, and an adventure motorcycle. As mentioned, the concept vehicles of these announced models will be showcased on March 5.
More Details of Upcoming Ultraviolette Models
First off in the pipeline is Ultraviolette’s electric maxi-scooter. This scooter will be placed above the already expensive Ola Electric and Ather Energy scooters. At the moment, the exact details of the electric motor, battery pack, range, and design have not been revealed by the company. More details of this e-scooter will be announced next month.
As for the details of the new bikes coming from Ultraviolette, the first will be a cruiser motorcycle. This new motorcycle, in terms of design, will boast a sporty cruiser aesthetic. Presently, the powertrain specifications of this motorcycle have not been revealed. However, it has been reported that it will offer more power than the current F77 Series.
In addition to the cruiser motorcycle, the company is also planning to launch a sports tourer electric motorcycle. This bike will cater to the needs of highway commuters who want a sporty bike that is also comfortable to ride over long distances. Reportedly, it will boast an all-new design and will not take design cues from the already-on-sale F77 Series.
Ultraviolette will also be launching two more motorcycles, which will compete in the electric naked streetfighter segment and the adventure motorcycle segment. These bikes will be launched under the ₹2 lakh price range and will target bikes from the 150-300cc segment.
This expansion of Ultraviolette Automotive’s lineup is taking place after it recently received additional funding from Exor (the largest shareholder in Ferrari and Stellantis), TVS Motor, and Qualcomm Ventures. Back in 2022, Ultraviolette was valued at $330 million. As per the company, since the launch of the F77 Series in 2023, it has sold over 1,000 units.
Presently, the company has a presence in 11 cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Chennai, Vizag, and more. It has also announced that by the end of 2025, it will expand to 50 cities in India. The company will also be increasing its research and development budget. For the development of the F77, Ultraviolette took around seven years.
Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet
Late last month, Ultraviolette Automotive launched the F77 SuperStreet in India. This bike has been launched with a price tag of ₹2.99 lakh. It boasts a 10.3 kWh battery pack, which powers a 30 kW motor. It offers a claimed range of 323 km on a single full charge and a top speed of 154 kmph. The bike also features three levels of traction control, 10 levels of regenerative braking, dynamic stability control, ABS, hill hold, and a TFT display.
