Ultraviolette Tesseract Electric Scooter Launched In India At 1.2 Lakh
Ultraviolette (UV) Automotive is known for making high-performance electric motorcycles like the F77 Mach 2 and F77 SuperStreet. Now, the Indian EV manufacturer has announced the launch of the Tessaract- its first electric scooter, at an event held in Bengaluru.
The UV Tessaract scooter has a starting price of 1.2 lakh (ex-showroom) and the range-topping variant costs 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom). These prices apply to the first 10,000 units only. Deliveries of the Tesseract are known to begin in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026.
Ultraviolette Tesseract Details
CEO Narayan Subramaniam claims that Ultraviolette Automotive's intention with the Tessaract was to “put a damn spacecraft on 2 wheels”. It is offered in three exciting colours- Stealth Black, Sonic Pink and Desert Sand.
The Tesseract is claimed to be the most advanced electric scooter to be launched in India to date. The design, performance and technology are all claimed to be world-class.
The company also says this is the first two-wheeler to borrow so much technology and features from the car world. It has features and technology like a 7-inch touchscreen TFT display, an integrated dashcam, wireless charging for your phone and more. The handlebar features haptic feedback as well. The front and rear dash cameras are assisted by radar. This is the first time that an Indian electric scooter gets this feature.
Courtesy of the dashcams and radar, this electric scooter has spatial awareness. In addition to it, there are also features like Blindspot Detection, Overtake Alert and Collision Alert. The rear view mirrors offer Blindspot assistance. The dashboard also gets integrated Violette AI and built-in navigation.
Ultraviolette says that the scooter has taken design inspiration from combat helicopters and thus looks butch. The overall aesthetics will appeal more to the male crowd. It is still a step-through scooter. It has floating DRLs, dual LED projector headlights, 14-inch aero disc alloy wheels (The River India is the only other electric scooter that gets 14 inch wheels), 110 section tyres at the front and 140 section units at the rear.
The company claims the scooter to offer a 34L under-seat storage as well. This should be able to accommodate a full-face helmet. There are a few other storage spaces for added practicality.
Mechanical Details
Ultraviolette Automotive hasn't revealed the exact battery capacity of the scooter. The electric motor is capable of generating 20.1 bhp. The Tesseract can do the 0-60 kph in just 2.9 seconds. This, if you see, is the same acceleration as the F77 Mach 2 electric motorcycle. The top speed is 125 kph. The scooter is claimed to have an IDC range of 261 km per charge. The company also says that the scooter can travel up to 500 km with charge worth Rs 100 ( roughly 12 units of charge). 0-80 percent charging can be done in less than an hour.
Like the F77, the Tesseract has also been equipped with safety features like dual-channel ABS, traction control and dynamic stability control.
Ultraviolette's Road Ahead
Ultraviolette Automotive is rapidly expanding its presence in the country. The Bengaluru-based manufacturer is now present in 13 cities. The Space Station (showrooms) and Space Pod (test ride touchpoints) are now being set up in more places.
The company now has four electric two-wheeler platforms- the F77 Mach 2, F77 SuperStreet, Shockwave and the Tesseract.
