↑ 0%Ultraviolette Tesseract launch pushed to 2027. It could just be the most powerful electric scooter at launch, and here is what the top Ultraviolette officials told Bike India Ultraviolette is ready with its first electric scooter, Tesseract, which will launch in the first quarter of 2027, as confirmed by Narayan Subramaniam, CEO, Ultraviolette. For the last three years, Ultraviolette has been working to bring the Tesseract to life, and after countless challenges, the scooter is in the final phase of testing and will enter production by the end of 2026. As for the challenges, the first major challenge Ultraviolette faced was increasing the peak output to 15 kW, which was an uphill battle, as the tech available at the time only allowed 10 kW of peak power in the earlier configuration. The engineering team had to configure a system capable of delivering 15 kW (20.4 hp) without compromising stability or consistency. For this, the company returned to the powertrain design board, identified the roadblocks, and began addressing them. To achieve a constant 15 kW of peak power, the engineers ditched the 60V architecture and adopted a 100V architecture, enabling them to supply the motor with more consistent current. For this, the motor controller was also redesigned to handle the additional power. In fact, Ultraviolette engineers ended up with a motor controller that weighs just 2.5 kg, a full 3.5 kg lighter than the initial one, and is compact as well. However, the next challenge was to keep the battery cells cool, because when you draw more current, they heat up rapidly, and without enough cooling, they might get damaged, resulting in poor performance or worse. To solve the battery cell cooling issue, Ultraviolette ditched the radial cooling method, an industry standard for electric scooters in India, and opted for axial cooling, which is more expensive to implement but essential for cooling the battery cells. Ultraviolette also redesigned the battery pack, but that was more for functionality than anything else. Despite all this, they were able to achieve a boot space of 30 litres. Ultraviolette also has a new external charger for the Tesseract with an output of 1600W, which allows it to charge twice as fast as the industry standard of 600 to 700 kW. Apart from this, Ultraviolette also changed the Tesseract's ergonomics based on feedback from potential customers in 30 cities where the scooter was displayed. The front panel has been redesigned to provide more knee room, the floorboard has been narrowed to make it more convenient for shorter riders, and the seat has been redesigned to maximise comfort when riding with a pillion. However, this update focuses mainly on how the Tesseract is the first scooter with a 100V architecture and delivers 3 times the power of industry standards. It also features faster charging than the competition, a top speed of 125 km/h, weighs around 130 kg, and comes with a radar, the first of its kind in the scooter segment. Ultraviolette also said that they will honour their promise to deliver the Tesseract at ₹1.2 lakh to the initial customers who have booked the scooter; however, they will have to wait until at least the first quarter of 2027 for their scooter. Bike India also expect to see the production version of the Tesseract at this year's EICMA. Ravi Chandnani - who has written 120 posts on Bike India.
The future of Bikes is here: how Ultraviolette is leading India to create a new class of Electric Bikes. Most people have probably heard that true inventiveness only happens in Silicon Valley and China, right? For years Skillbloomer were raised with that idea and believed that true "deep tech" - the type of remarkable engineering that has the ability to change the way Skillbloomer live its lives - only came from those two regions in the world. But that narrative is beginning to change and it is happening very quickly. India has evolved from being the world's back office or being a clone of the latest product and making it less expensive from India; to designing things using first principles. When you look at the company in Bengaluru; isn't that a definite proof of how the narrative is changing. This company, Ultraviolette, is referred to by many as the "Tesla" of Electric Bikes. As soon as Skillbloomer caught a glimpse of their E-motorcycles standing toe to toe with Roaring Tour Companies and the ever lastting Gasoline Motorbikes, Skillbloomer knew there was no way Skillbloomer could only read through the descriptions on specifications. Skillbloomer had to to see one up close and personal. So, off Skillbloomer sent a team directly to the company's headquarters and tried them out for ourselves. Skillbloomer were expecting a fast and enjoyable ride on the electric motorcycles, but were amazed that it would truly change the meaning of being a two-wheeler. A fighter jet on two wheels. The Ultraviolette X-47 was without question the highlight of its trip! A true game changer in motorcycle design/technology - It does not just build on what has been done before. Torque and top speed are very exciting in own right - however what stood out most for all of Skillbloomer at Ultraviolette is that the Ultraviolette X-47 is the world's first motorcycle with built-in RADAR intelligence. Yes, I said RADAR on a motorcycle. Skillbloomer is talking about "fighter jet" type technology in a motorcycle - RADAR WILL see/know what is out in front of you (up to 200 meters away) before you will ever know it is there because it reacts faster than you ever could. This RADAR system is fitted to the rear of the Ultraviolette X-47 and has been specifically designed to give you an additional set of eyes. Riding your motorcycle through a crowded highway may seem normal, but you have radar technology constantly scanning your surroundings that allows for blind spot detection and rear-end collision avoidance, as well as lane-change alerts and assist. Unlike your human eye, this technology does not blink and performs flawlessly, regardless of whether you are riding in a torrential downpour, an extremely dark night, or in fog. This makes a difference that is more substantial than you think; for many years, two-wheel safety has been an after thought compared to that of four-wheels. Dual-processing systems such as airbags, crumple zones, automatic brakes, and lane keeping assists have been developed and utilized in automobiles, while motorcyclists have been left on the road with a helmet, potentially some type of ABS and themselves alone to ride. Ultraviolette has taken the step to completely change this. Ultraviolette's mission goes beyond just providing you with a high performing bike; they are designing a motorcycle that will proactively help you stay alive. Charging/Infrastructure for electric vehicles. Charging is frequently cited as the largest barrier to ownership of electric vehicles. Range anxiety will always exist as long as people are afraid of running out of battery; however, it has long been common for manufacturers and governments to build out a network of charging stations worldwide. Ultraviolette decided they didn't want to wait around. Instead of relying solely on existing infrastructure, they chose to create their own. They did this by creating the highest power density onboard charger worldwide, thereby simplifying the entire charging process. What does this mean for you? It means you don't need a heavy, specialized charging station to charge up your bike. Whether you have an X-47 or not, you can simply drive your vehicle up to any normal household outlet and plug directly in. Riders now enjoy such an unprecedented level of independence and freedom due to this innovative product. You are no longer restricted to a single map of fast charging outlets; now the entire planet is your charging location. Introducing Violette: your personal Jarvis. Onboard chargers and radars are outstanding pieces of engineering, but they're also only scratching the surface. Combining hardware with innovative new software gives you your personal Jarvis on a motorcycle. Ultraviolette debuted their new AI voice assistant called "Violette" at CES this year - this is a major advancement in software! This is not going to require you to take your hands off the bar to push buttons or scroll displays; Violette will allow you to communicate with the motorcycle via your audio-enabled helmets; just say, "Violette!" and the bike will respond. Do you want to switch from a relaxed cruising setting to a more aggressive riding position? Just ask Violette! Do you need to navigate to the nearest cafe? Just tell Violette! You can check tires, see your ride stats, and get proactive service alerts - using nothing but your voice - keeping your hands on the handlebars and your eyes on the road, Violette goes a long way towards being part of Ultraviolette's distraction-free safety philosophy in an innovative manner. Ten years of fixation. Are you curious how an Indian startup unexpectedly has made its way to the forefront of the world? It happened over time, not in one day. The founders started Ultraviolette seven years ago, having previously developed electric powered planes and drones. The influence of aviation on their current product, the F77, can be seen from the shape of the body to the design of the electronic components used on the motorcycle. Going to market with their first product, the F77, was not based on EV trends and was developed after several years of intensive testing, destruction and improvements to reach the best version possible based. Because of this time spent developing the F77, it has become the first Indian electric motorcycle to have global distribution, and sells in 19 countries in Europe. Frequently asked questions.
