For the longest time, electric motorcycles out of India have mostly fallen into two camps. Tiny commuter scooters designed to survive traffic at a snail's pace, or futuristic sportbikes trying very hard to convince everyone they belong in the same conversation as Ducati and KTM. Then along comes the Ultraviolette Shockwave, and suddenly things get seriously interesting.
Because this thing isn't trying to be a track weapon. It isn't pretending to replace your Yamaha R1. And it definitely isn't another delivery scooter with LED strips and a smartphone app. The Shockwave is an electric dual-sport, and that makes it one of the smartest moves Ultraviolette has made so far.
