Ultraviolette F77

Ultraviolette F77 Highlights

Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ultraviolette will be launching its first electric bike tomorrow. The F77 promises performance comparable to most entry-level performance motorcycles. It gets sharp-looking bodywork with a mass-forward design and a sporty riding stance thanks to low set clip-on handlebars. The sporty theme has been carried forward under the skin as well since it is based on a trellis frame and cast aluminium swingarm.

Powering the Ultraviolette F77 electric bike is a 25kW electric motor, which is capable of producing 450Nm of torque at the wheel. 0-60kmph arrives in 3 seconds, indicating that its performance could be akin to entry-level sporty petrol-powered motorcycles. Expect the battery to offer a triple-digit range with fast-charging capability too. The Ultraviolette F77 is likely to be priced at around Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom) excluding the FAME II benefits. There are no direct rivals as the only other electric alternative you have is the Revolt RV400, which costs Rs 98,999 (ex-showroom). This includes FAME II subsidy as well.
