Ultraviolette is a brand you may have never heard of before. But it’s one that’s shaping up to be one of the most promising EV manufacturers to hail from India. We’ve covered them extensively in the past, especially their flagship electric motorcycle, the F77, and its journey into global markets. Now, they’re making headlines again, not just for its expansion into Europe, but for its ambitious plans that could shake up the EV industry.
The Ultraviolette F77 has been one of the most exciting electric motorcycles to emerge in recent years. Designed as a high-performance, smart, and connected machine, the F77 Mach 2 boasts a 30 kW (around 40 horsepower) motor, 100 Nm (74 pound-feet) of torque, and a top speed of 155 kilometers per hour (96 mph). With an impressive IDC range of 323 km (201 miles), it’s not just about performance but also practicality. Since its official launch, the bike has garnered interest from enthusiasts worldwide, proving that India can deliver cutting-edge electric motorcycles that rival global competitors.
Ultraviolette’s European expansion has been nothing short of impressive. In October 2024, the company secured L3e certification under UNECE regulations, making the F77 Mach 2 road-legal in over 40 countries, including across the EU. To mark its entry, Ultraviolette showcased the bike at EICMA 2024 in Milan, where it also teased the new Concept X prototype. Priced at 9,990 euros (around $10,800), the F77 is now available in two variants—Standard and Recon—offering European riders a compelling alternative to traditional ICE-powered motorcycles.
