Ultraviolette X-47 Crosses 3000 Bookings, Introductory Offer Extended to 5000
Within 24 hours of launch, Ultraviolette’s new X-47 Crossover electric motorcycle drew more than 3,000 bookings. The introductory offer, originally limited to 1,000 customers, has now been extended to 5,000.
The base price of Rs 2.49 lakh ex-showroom applies until that mark is reached, after which the price will rise to Rs 2.74 lakh. This positions the bike directly against popular mid-size petrol motorcycles while adding features not seen before in the segment.
Radar-Based Safety
The X-47 introduces radar-enabled Advanced Driver Assistance, branded UV Hypersense. It covers 150 degrees in front, 68 degrees behind, and monitors up to 200 metres.
This system issues warnings for rear collisions, lane changes, and overtaking traffic. Such alerts are particularly relevant for highway conditions where sudden movements often leave riders little reaction time.
Ultraviolette also offers dual dashcams as an option. The combination of radar monitoring and video recording creates a safety package uncommon in the motorcycle market.
Range and Performance
Two battery packs are offered. The 7.1kWh unit provides 211km IDC range, while the 10.3kWh unit extends it to 323km. The larger pack produces 30kW (40.2hp) and 100Nm torque, delivering 610 Nm at the rear wheel through gearing.
Performance figures include 0–60kmph in 2.7 seconds, 0–100kmph in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 145kmph. These numbers put the X-47 close to established petrol motorcycles in the adventure category.
A 1.6 kW onboard charger is standard, claimed to be the most compact air-cooled unit of its kind. Fast charging support is available, though charging times have not been disclosed.
Chassis and Suspension
The motorcycle gets a redesigned chassis with a cast aluminium subframe and narrower swingarm compared to the F77. Suspension comes via 41mm USD forks at the front and a rear monoshock, both offering 170mm travel.
Ground clearance is 208mm, higher than several rivals like the Triumph Scrambler 400X at 195mm. This allows easier passage over broken roads and rough patches.
The larger battery variant weighs 207kg, 11kg more than the smaller option. While the extra mass improves stability, it reduces nimbleness in city riding.
Competition and Rollout
At Rs 2.49 lakh, the X-47 sits against models such as the KTM 390 Adventure, Bajaj Dominar 400, and Kawasaki Versys 300. The inclusion of radar assistance gives it a unique edge over these petrol rivals.
Deliveries will begin in October 2025. Customer feedback will determine whether the X-47 can sustain interest and prove reliable over time.
Ultraviolette will also sell a Desert Wing limited edition, with sand-themed paint and accessories aimed at touring use.
Crossing 3,000 bookings in a single day suggests demand exists for electric motorcycles when they combine performance with practical usability. Extending the introductory price to 5,000 buyers will allow more riders to access the lower entry point and give the model a wider base.
The X-47 now carries the weight of expectation: to show that premium electric motorcycles can deliver not just on efficiency, but also on safety, speed, and long-distance ability.
