Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 Electric Bike Owner Clocks 65,000 Km In Just 1 Year
Ultraviolette is a popular Indian electric two-wheeler brand. They launched the fastest electric motorcycle in the country. The F77 was one of the most anticipated and the first model from the Indian EV brand, and it received a good response from buyers too. We have seen people use electric cars for road trips recently, but here we have an F77 Mach 2 electric bike owner who clocked over 65,000 km in just one year by doing long road trips with his bike.
The post and the images of the owner and the motorcycle have been shared by the CEO of Ultraviolette Automotive, Narayan Subramaniam, himself. In the post, the CEO congratulates the Ultraviolette F77 owner, Harish Surampade, for this incredible achievement.
The post mentions that Harish was one of the first customers of the F77 Mach 2, and soon after buying the motorcycle, he took it on long road trips. We have usually seen people buying electric cars and two-wheelers just for city use, as they worry about the range when on long road trips.
In this case, it looks like Harish was prepared to face this challenge and took his new electric motorcycle on 4,000 km–5,000 km long road trips. In fact, he recently completed a 10,000 km long road trip on his Mach 2 motorcycle, where he started his ride from Bengaluru and went all the way to Nepal, explored the borders of China, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, and then came back.
He has ridden the bike through various terrains and weather, which is evident from the images posted here. He rode the bike through snow, mountain passes, broken roads, rough terrains, and so on. It looks like the electric motorcycle performed without any issues over the last year.
The comment section under this post is filled with people congratulating Harish for his achievement. There are others who have raised questions, mostly about the charging infrastructure. Not all the places Harish took the bike had fast chargers. So, in case the motorcycle ran out of charge or was low on battery, the owner would have had to rely on the regular slow charging setup, which would have taken up a lot of time.
We have seen people do such long road trips on superbikes and cars, but this is probably the first time we have come across someone who does similar trips on an electric bike. The post shared by the CEO of the company shows the trust they have in their product.
