In a bold move that signals the next wave of electric mobility, Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive has shattered its niche performance motorcycle image by launching two game-changing electric vehicles that promise to electrify India’s two-wheeler landscape.
Breaking Boundaries: More Than Just Performance
Known for its record-breaking F99 prototype and premium F77 motorcycle, Ultraviolette is now charging into mainstream markets with the Tesseract scooter and Shockwave motorcycle. These aren’t just new models – they’re a strategic invasion of the mass-market electric vehicle segment.
Tesseract: Urban Commuting Reimagined
The Tesseract urban scooter isn’t just another electric two-wheeler. Priced at an introductory ex-showroom rate of Rs 1.45 lakh (with initial buyers getting it for Rs 1.20 lakh), it packs a punch with:
- 261 km IDC range
- Top speed of 125 kmph
- 0-60 kph acceleration in just 2.9 seconds
- Advanced features like front and rear radar technology
- Generous 34-liter boot space
Shockwave: Adventure Meets Electrification
For adventure enthusiasts, the Shockwave light motorcycle offers a thrilling alternative:
- Weighing just 120 kg
- Peak output of 14.7 hp
- 505 Nm torque
- 120 kph top speed
- 165 km IDC range
- Priced at Rs 1.75 lakh (introductory offer at Rs 1.5 lakh)
Market Context and Expansion
With electric vehicle penetration in the scooter segment hovering around 13-14%, Ultraviolette’s entry comes at a critical time. The company already has a presence in 13 Indian cities and has begun exports to European markets like Germany, Italy, and France.
What Sets Them Apart
Unlike many electric vehicle startups, Ultraviolette isn’t just competing on price. They’re challenging the market with high-performance, feature-rich vehicles that promise to change perceptions about electric mobility.

The future of electric mobility has just accelerated.
