Company headquartered in India develops new electric motorcycle with autonomy of 300 km. The vehicle called Ultraviolette F77 will hit the streets later this year.
Low autonomy and long battery charging time are still major problems for those planning to buy an electric car or motorcycle. Therefore, several brands are applying new investments in technologies and products. The latest innovation promises a model with more than 300 km of autonomy without having to connect to the socket. The model was named Ultraviolet F77.
Electric motorcycle Ultraviolette F77 is equipped with a fixed battery of 10,5 kWh
Responsible for the vehicle is the brand Ultraviolette, headquartered in the city of Bangalore, India. This mobility startup announced its Ultraviolette F77 electric model during the first event “battery day”, in its production unit, this October.
The main differential of the electric motorcycle was its impressive autonomy of 307 km with just one charge. Furthermore, the company showed the new model in production specification without the fairing, revealing the revised frame, swingarm and newly created battery.

It is worth mentioning that this is the second generation Ultraviolette F77, now equipped with a fixed battery of 10,5 kWh. According to the brand, the promise is a battery capacity 2,5 times greater than the previous unit.
As such, the model effectively has the highest battery capacity of any electric vehicle two-wheeler from India. For those who don't know, when the first generation of the electric motorcycle debuted in 2019, it had a range of just 150 km. According to Ultraviolette, the leap in the level of autonomy was due to research and a new development format for the energy storage unit.
Electric motorcycle should hit the market by the end of this year
The new battery, which offers better autonomy, now also has an aluminum housing. However, the weight of the component has also increased to 50 kg. In comparison, the first generation version of the bike had three portable and removable batteries, now it's just a fixed battery.
The real world performance of the new F77 remains to be seen, however the company is targeting the 300 – 400cc sector of the model. It is important to mention that the first generation of the electric motorcycle delivered the equivalent of 9 kgfm of torque and autonomy of 33 horsepower.
For the novelty, pre-orders for the F77 start on October 23rd, while the launch will take place on November 24th. The company plans to begin deliveries of its vehicle by the end of this year. The startup has the support of the Indian brand TVS, a partner company of Dafra in Brazil. Therefore, the new brand will be helped to organize its first test center in the city of India, before expanding to other cities in the next 12 months.
The brand also plans to start exporting to other markets in the next two years. According to Ultraviolette, since the first model debuted in 2019, the company has received more than 70 reservations from 190 countries.
